If there is a second-hand smoke that I am OK with breathing, that would be it

lol. All joking aside, you'd have underaged people effected by the smoke as well as potential people that are required to be in a certain state of mind to perform a job and such. They'd definitely not be allowed to smoke marijuana where every they want if it became legalized.

The business has the right to determine if they want the legal act of smoking in their establishment. You do not have to patronize them. They do not have the right to serve tainted food. I don't know how you can draw the same comparison. You are talking about poisoning the masses via food vs second hand smoke which has not been proven to poison anyone. So in this instance you can pick and choose. They have no right to limit smoking to private businesses. Maybe they should stop allowing alcohol because someone may drive drunk.

well said.

Unless you are in a confined space (last time I checked, outdoors doesn't qualify as one) the second hand smoke from a joint is not going to have any affect on you. Even in a confined space, the smoke would have to be "bingo hall" thick to affect you.

Same with second hand smoke from cigs.

Well said. Don't like all of these anti-smoking ordinances popping up.

If you are a guy that gets drug tested for his job... say a pilot or something would you feel comfortable being around second hand marijuana smoke and taking a test? I'm not an expert by any means and maybe that small of an amount won't show up but it would be a concern for me in that manner.

I'm assuming that even if it's legalized that there would be certain professions that would still get tested.


Overall, I'm not a smoker and love that there are limited spaces where I have to be around smoke. However I think a business shouldn't be forced to ban smoke if they don't want to.

That's why even if it is legalized, it would only be permitted in certain places. That way you could avoid it if you wanted to.

I'm in favor of full drug legalization. I'd be perfectly okay with tsomething like this as a happy medium. Allow it in private places-- in your home, certain "pot approved" smoke houses or something of the sort, places like that. But keep ripping off bong hits on the corner of First and Main illegal.

And before someone says I'm just some hippie pothead who just wants his grass, no. I don't do any drugs, smoke, or drink. I just think people should be allowed to make decisions for themselves, and if they screw up, oh well, it's their fault. The problem is that people don't want the responsibility that comes with a right. They always want someone else to blame if they make the wrong choice.

Here's something that I always thought of when it comes to personal health and safety as well as public accomodations. What do ya'll think about writing tickets and handing out fines to people who don't flush the toilet or wash their hands when using public restrooms. I find it utterly disgusting whenever I see someone not doing that and you can never really be too sure if the person who is fixing your food has washed your hands after using the bathroom. I know that this would be hard to enforce but if you are caught then you are imposed with hefty fines. What are your thoughts?
