This morning I was trapped walking on the sidewalk behind someone stinking up the world with his skanky, skunky weed. Cigarettes were bad enough. Blech.
In Colorado, it is illegal to smoke in public. This is likely to be the future path, and the end-game for Tobacco.
I see you haven’t been to Berkeley much in the past thirty years or so.
I find that second hand joint smoke does not make me mellow OR give me the munchies. I just want to throat punch someone.
Whoa there! Maybe some first hand joint smoke is in order…
Well, I don’t know about second hand smoke, but after driving down Broadway yesterday past all the dispensaries (and yeah you can DEFINITELY smell it big time), we did make a big McDonald’s run before getting home.
Plus side: tax that.
(Certainly in the UK, if a toker chances upon another toking stranger, the phrase ‘tax that’ will get you a free lungful).
As for those who find they’re no longer allowed to hate the usual targets but have lucked into hating smokers instead, go do something useful.
I can live with it. My friend has lupus and fibromyalgia and her pain is chronic. Prescription meds don’t touch it. Pot does.
So yes, I can put up with a little stink. (I live in WA).
I used to be a pot-head before the day. Not anymore, but if it relieves medical pain, I am all for it.
That aside… “medical” use for some people is just an excuse to get high.
I need an ‘excuse’??
Also true for plenty of people with prescription pills.
I honestly don’t know how to address this, Cigarette smoking is a battle I am fighting myself and I try to avoid people who would be offended.
Was this person openly smoking a joint? Why were you “trapped”?
Just curious.
Yes.
You gonna bogart that whole thing?

True. However it doesn’t smell as bad.
Plus, it cuts into Uncle Joe’s operation.
Validated and noted. Please don’t throat punch me. I wasn’t there. 
People are free to plant ginkgo trees, douse themselves in “White Diamonds” or Axe, and spread sour mulch, manure, and compost all over their property. I’d much rather smell a little smoke than put up with the dozens of other offensively smelly things people do in the course of their every day lives that no one gets their panties in a bunch about. Get over yourself.
Dude, relax, you’re harshing my buzz. I was all mellow, jamming out to some wicked Trey Anastasio tunes… and then all this negative aura comes intruding on my personal liberties, man. Now I don’t even want these Doritos. Tres uncool, bro.
I want admire jsgoddess for their restraint.
It seemed bad enough to follow a trail of pot smoke down the sidewalk.
Now the OP has to put up with silly jokes.
And nobody even offered the OP a Snicker bar dang it. 
I’m with jsgoddess. I loathe the smell of the nasty stuff. Way stinkier than back in the day it is.
