I don't think it's unreasonable to desire to be free from the noxious odors of others.

It's not just because marijuana "smells bad". Secondhand marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxic chemicals as secondhand cigarette smoke and likely is similarly deleterious to your health [1]. I also believe everyone should have the right to be able to open their windows and have clean air come through. Smoking on balconies denies people this right. Edibles only effect the user and therefore should be permitted.

If you think it's proper to put me in a cage because you don't like the smell of the sacrament that I smoke, I think it's OK to throw you off the nearest 13th story balcony.

I'm certainly not going to, say, be drafted into a world war to fight and most likely die for people who want to throw me in a cage. I'd rather shoot them instead.

EDIT: inb4 the guy who pops in with the government "study" claiming weed smoke is bad. What a shock that Uncle Scam would come to such a self-serving conclusion! Please, CDC, tell me more.

Meanwhile I am way healthier than the majority of people on this forum. It's been decades since I was sick--how about y'all? How full is your pill cabinet, on a scale from 0 to "the average American has 11 prescriptions"? NONE in mine. Guess I'm not a drug abuser like most of y'all.

And as for the Karen who replied above to cry about my "unhinged" statements, the point is it is you people who are--in actual reality, where I reside--unhinged. You're either petty tyrants or in league with petty tyrants, and your protestations about my opinions or actions are of zero concern to me.

The bottom line is this: I smoke weed every day, illegally. I also grow weed, illegally. I also breed my own weed varieties, illegally. I acquire seeds illegally. I give seeds away illegally. I drive while high as fuck illegally, and do so quite safely, opinions of idiot Karens be damned. I'm high right now, sitting here with a corncob pipe full of weed while writing this very comment, on a throwaway account, and a throwaway internet connection that cannot be traced--so you can see that I am quite functional in my use of English while high, also. In point of fact I can run circles around you, physically and intellectually--and I am aware of this fact, even if you are not.

To bring it back to the actual subject of this article: I distill my own whiskey too, illegally, with exactly zero fucks given as to yours or anyone else's opinion on the subject. And it's some of the finest, cleanest, purest moonshine there is. It's like sipping water. Nothing store bought can compare.

Uncle Scam is the last person whose opinion I would respect concerning my freedom to act as I please. I learned long ago how crooked this nation and its people are, and I have taken precautions to ensure my continued freedom in a world that is sliding continually toward chattel slavery.

To summarize: I get to keep doing exactly what the fuck I want to do concerning this weed, or alcohol, or any other substance I choose to use or experiment with--PERIOD, END OF DISCUSSION. There is simply not a damn thing you can do to stop me or my people. We will stop YOU first.
