It's really a lot more normal than I expected it would be so soon. It's very common to see people standing in public smoking weed, while it's almost always illegal to drink alcohol in public.
Friends in Toronto don't even buy a bottle of wine for a Friday night dinner with friends anymore, they buy weed.
Just the other day I was with a group of people who went out of their way to hide the beer cans they were walking with as a Police car drove past. They were openly smoking a joint the entire time.
> Like are senior members of society such as judges, doctors, military officers, teachers, politicians, etc completely comfortable smoking cannabis in public or would that still cause some surprise if they were that casual about it?
I don't think it's common to see people like that drinking alcohol in public, and weed feels kind of the same now.
From a legal standpoint, anywhere you can smoke a cigarette, you can smoke weed.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> illegal to drink alcohol in public Huh? Canada has bars, pubs, restaurants, with people drinking in them in public all the time. > I don't think it's common to see people like that drinking alcohol in public, Here's Trudeau publicly drinking alcohol at an official function. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2017/11/08/the-wednesday-news-briefing-an-at-a-glance-survey-of-some-top-stories-68/ https://toronto.citynews.ca/2017/11/08/the-wednesday-news-br... I doubt there's a recent photo of him smoking a joint? Let alone smoking a joint while working and representing the country? What about finishing off a meal with an edible? I imagine your Parliament has an official bar on premises for members? Does it serve cannabis or just alcohol? Nonsense.
- Scoundreller 6y ago> Canada has bars, pubs, restaurants, with people drinking in them in public all the time. Bars, pubs and restaurants are private places. Parks and sidewalks are public.
- chrisseaton 6y agoWell that seems like cannabis is less accepted - not more. Cannabis has to be pushed outside, alcohol can be inside institutions.
- grecy 6y agoIt's like smoking in that second-hand smoke is a consideration. I can walk down the public sidewalk in the middle of town openly hitting a 6 ft bong. I can't drink even one can of beer like that.

- chrisseaton 6y agoIf the smoke is the only issue then presumably you can also get an edible with your meal in family restaurants alongside your beer? No? Not normalised then is it?
