I’ve never seen someone high on cannabis be a danger to others, and cannabis smoke airs out pretty easily, as opposed to cigarette smoke that sticks to everything and doesn’t go away. Not that cannabis smoke isn’t annoying, but it’s far less annoying than cigarette smoke ever was.

> I’ve never seen someone high on cannabis be a danger to others I think driving while high is dangerous and inexplicably very accepted in society. But my comment wasn't "they're hurting someone by choosing to smoke weed". It's more I feel bad that they're inebriated for much of their day and for me that's kind of sad. I've known pot-heads before and they're not exactly living their best lives and are often dependent on a substance to make it through the day.

  Driving while high on anything is already illegal. Just like driving while distracted, but using mobile phones while driving is far more accepted than any other dangerous activity.

  Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, weed, Wellbutrin, Xanax... with all things, people metabolize and tolerate all types of substances differently to help us make it through the day.

I’m pretty sure anyone high cannabis is a danger to others while driving? The smell of weed does not air out — every taxi I get into stinks of it constantly. Not only that, it has a much greater range - I usually saw a cigarette smoker but I can smell weed on the street and not see them at all. And my car air filter kept out cigarette odor when on recirculate, but some how weed gets through and I have to close and turn the whole system off to have any hope of not stinking up my car. The number of people smoking weed while driving is honestly scary I hope Osaka’s approach spreads

  It goes without saying that being high on anything while driving is dangerous to others. Although, in my experience, people high on cannabis just drive dangerously slow. This differs from drugs like alcohol, which inherently increase people’s propensity to be a danger to others. I guess we have had different experiences with the smell of cannabis, but back from when I worked in a hotel, the protocol for when a person smoked cannabis in a room was to just leave the window and door open for 15 minutes, and no one would be the wiser after that. Whereas, if someone smoked cigarettes in the room, the cleaning process was far more costly.
