You can't smoke anywhere. What's the point of it being legal if almost every place has no-smoking policies, and now (in CA) they're adding explicit rules for cannabis. Unlike tobacco, you can't go to some corner or park and smoke. It's not allowed anywhere,
I had to stop because the best way to smoke, is to do it often in small amounts, but this inevitably creates a lingering smell. This is understandable but there are no alternatives to go outside either. On top of this, the stigma is still there, and non-smokers despise smokers and can't stand even smelling a particle in the air without making strange faces and throwing dirty looks.
I still have hopes it becomes like coffee, because if done properly, it stimulates productivity, it's just that most overdose (and have extreme low tolerance from non-frequent use), so they end up thinking weed makes you lazy and puts you to sleep, which is not the case if you know what you are doing.
- herbst 5y agoThis sounds weird to me. It's illegal here in Switzerland but smoking in public is the most normal thing ever, nobody bothers. Should they catch you it's $100 flat or nothing, no entries in your criminal history either. Since CBD is legal and common we also smoke THC strains in caffees, clubs, restaurants and wherever else smoking is allowed. Otherwise agreed, the lazy stigma is living on (and not completely wrong)
- proc0 5y agoIt sounds like you need to be discrete / careful in public, which makes sense if it's illegal. In California, it's legal, but in city areas it's usually not allowed outside or inside, and when you rent, most places will say no smoking of any kind inside. The only way I can think of where I could smoke "in peace" would be to buy a house and smoke inside or a patio, if far enough from the dense cities.
- herbst 5y agoWell many are discrete, many are not. If you go to any park near some water in the summer you smell it everywhere and police doesn't bother. Last time I had to pay was smoking in a train station, which is stupid. It never before occured to me that legal does not mean it's easy
- tinus_hn 5y agoI didn’t realize there still were countries where smoking in clubs and restaurants was still legal!
- ksaj 5y agowhen I worked in Zurich, I purposely hung out in the "bad" neighbourhood. Always more fun than the "business district." Didn't even smell pot anywhere. I was quite surprised. Where I live, if there is a bar around, you'll smell pot outside. Wherever people congregate with smoke, there you will also find joints. This has been the case even well before we federally legalized it.
- herbst 5y agoI don't really know about Zurich, you may realized it is somewhat different to the rest of the country :) in Bern, Thun, Interlaken,.. it's way more common
- atom-morgan 5y ago> What's the point of it being legal if almost every place has no-smoking policies I want it to be legal so I can buy it whenever I want even if I smoke in my own home 99% of the time.
- opportune 5y agoIt’s one of those things where you can probably just use your better judgment and nobody will care. I mean people smoke crack on public transit here. Who cares if you find some secluded corner of a park and light up? I see people breaking the “15 ft from entrance” smoking rule with cigarettes all the time. Anyway if the smoke is really a concern look into making your own edibles (way cheaper than buying them) or vaping. If you only want to smoke small amounts then a flower vape is the way to go. If that’s too slow for you then vape oil.
