Cannabis makes me paranoid and psychotic, walking by someone smoking it makes me "high". I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way, therefore it's harmful to others and should be forbidden. Consumtion in any other way should be legalized.

walking by someone smoking it makes me “high”

No it doesn't.

    It does, in the sense that I immediately feel unwell. And if I constantly stand by people smoking, the amount of smoke I inhale gets more (obviously) and therefore the effects grow stronger.

    There is a lot of space outside that is not next to a smoker.

    Get a good therapist. You're sick.

    Stop blaming it on the world and expect everyone else to bend over backwards just because you have a personal problem.

    An astonishing amount of arrogance. Let me guess, you've never been in a relationship?

    Edit also what an incredibly stupid username you've chosen with that attitude

    Telling people they're "sick" on the Internet, because they're opposed to people smoking outside? I feel like you should get a really good therapist...

    What's my username got to do with anything?

    Also, just for my curiosity, what gender do you think I am (and why), would you have reacted differently if I were the other?

    because they're opposed to people smoking outside

    That's not the reason.

    you should get a **really

    Don't need to, I already have an amazing therapist. Why are you implying like having a therapist is something to be ashamed of?

    Gender doesn't matter. It's the interpersonal skills you lack.

    You didn't answer my question. You made the same idiotic point about therapy, I was making fun of you.

    The question about your username?

    It's ironic. Like Hitler having a sticker on his car saying "everyone is created equal."

    Oh yes, you're trying to make fun of me. I'm ruining it for you. What do you think is humorous about therapy?

    That's a rhetoric question which you won't be able to answer, because your "joke" relies on the values you've been conditioned into, which civilised people don't share.

    And that's exactly why you should try to find a good therapist as well. Or perhaps you can't afford it?

    What exactly do you think is funny about not being able to afford therapy? I live in a country with a working healthcare system.

    Also I still don't get that thing with my username... Did you just compare it to hitler?

    Youre mocking people in therapy?

    You tried making it seem like having a therapist is a bad thing?

    I don't pay for my therapy, my country does. Healthcare. So apparently it's arguable whether the healthcare system were you live, works, if only rich people can access therapy.

    The point with Hitler is hypocrisy. I don't think you know what your username means.

    You really should look that up if you're unaware. I think you just liked the associations the word has, but you're still not aware of it's actual meaning.

    It's hilarious that it's on such a prude

    It’s all in your head buddy.

    You’re like one of those people who claims a whiff of perfume puts them in bed all day from chemical sensitivities.

    Stop trying to pass off your desire to control others as some personal entitlement to never see behavior you dislike.

    That's just retching from the god-awful stink.

    All the dopeheads really need to know how strongly they smell. Not smoking.... outdoors, with a stiff breeze, you can be 5-10 metres away and still smell it.

    It's pungent.

    If you want to smoke the stuff, smoke it. Fine by me. Just change your clothes and shower after.

    This right here is the problem. Consume if you want but be considerate. Smoke at home, or take edibles if you're going to be out around nonsmokers. There's no need for bringing your stank out in public.

    Ah, a terrible take on prohibition. Have an upvote.

    I agree but not because of your personal problems. Inhaling smoke it very stupid for anyone. THC itself is a wonderful drug.

    in some of the other comments OP, you say you used to smoke.

    one of the potential effects of cannabis is paranoia. This sounds like that. Talk to a professional, and get some help. Like honestly, this is concerning.

    Why does everyone always assume that a poster isn't already involved with "professionals" ? Is it really that rare for people to see a psychiatrist?

    Drugs, gambling, liquor stores, prostitution, and any other vice type should be limited to businesses for the express purpose or individuals on their private property, But not in public places or businesses that are not specifically for the vice. In addition advertisement for these type of adult vices should be limited to other adult vice businesses. In other words you can hang up bar adverts at the casino and dispensiaries and such. No regular business can have the activities on its premises, it is limited to private residences and associate private property (if allowed by owner) outside of businesses. So rentals could allow it in units but could not in any of the common areas.

    Just look at the result of the alcohol ban in the US.

    I don't like tobacco but I understand that people can smoke when nobody around has a problem with that.

    I'd say "ban cannabis" is not exactly an unpopular opinion, the majority of the world governments have it banned, but smoking specifically does make it weird

    Why? Cannabis doesn't hurt anyone who takes it voluntarily, so anyone should be able to consume it, just not at the "cost" of others.

    Then the opinion should be ban smoking cannabis in public, not just a general ban.. and with that reasoning I don't see why it should be cannabis specific. I hate choking on cancer fumes of others, so ban smoking/vaping in public seems like a much better ban in that regard, if the concern is not harming others with 2nd hand smoke

  • How do you feel about people smoking tobacco in public spaces? What are your thoughts on designated smoking areas?

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 1 year ago

    Smoking next to kids at public spaces should be banned, the same should for Cannabis imho.

  • [–] 3 points 1 year ago

    Let's take it one step further: smoking should be forbidden everywhere. What do you think?
