But that leads to stupid laws around public consumption and possession, which make sense for alcohol but not for marijuana. It should be treated exactly like tobacco.
- BenjiWiebe 8y agoMaybe we should ban public use of tobacco.
- i_am_nomad 8y agoDefinitely we should ban all tobacco. There are just too many negatives to its production and consumption. Tobacco farmers should receive tail-out subsidies to convert to a different crop, or just retire, but the cultivation and sale of it must eventually be outlawed.
- edoceo 8y agoConvert to Tobacco farms to Cannabis farms?
- i_am_nomad 8y agoAbsolutely, as long as that cannabis is distributed in non-smokable form (vaping oil, edible supplements, whatever), and then only to those 21 and over.
- edoceo 8y agoVaping ain't that great either. All mind altering substance is not for kids. Heck, even tobacco should be 21+
- Mediterraneo10 8y agoTobacco is commonly subject to many laws (or standard leases) around public and even private consumption. Look at how few places in e.g. Finland or Hong Kong you can smoke a cigarette in compared to just two-three decades ago. In some countries, you may not be able to smoke in your own home or car if children are present or could be present (since toxins linger); if you rent, there are virtually no landlords left who will let you smoke inside; if you live in a block of flats with other people, you cannot light up on your balcony; parks may ban smoking, etc.

- babypuncher 8y agoPersonally I'm a big fan of laws that restrict where you're allowed to smoke. Tobacco smoke smells like death, so please keep it out of my public spaces.
