I live in DC on Capitol Hill and my partner and I take long walks every day. DC is a big place, but what you describe is not our experience, even in Colombia Heights or Georgetown. Maybe once in a while someone's using a vaporizer or smoking on their step, but that's a far cry from everything reeking of weed.

For what it's worth, the sewers here do stink. I'm glad we're a ways back from the street.

M Street definitely smells like pot, cars are crop-dusting it pretty much everywhere in the city, and even the GWU hospital waiting rooms reek. You're not literally smelling it every minute but it's impossible to live life without you or your children smelling it.

I used to live L and 4th street NE and it was really bad by the Safeway. Obviously Capitol Hill and Georgetown are going to be an older crowd with more decorum.

OK update: we walked by Freedom Plaza and all those skaters were definitely smoking weed. We should make an app. Like Waze for weed. Oooh "Haze"!

I guess we should go back to throwing those guys in prison, for the decorum.

[rayiner]

We should have corporal punishment for using drugs in public like in Singapore. Nobody should rot in prison merely for being a public nuisance. But a good thwack and some public humiliation would be a proportionate response.

Ah, I understand now, I didn't realize I'd been going back and forth with an out-and-out fascist. Don't think there's much more point to this!

Please don't troll. That's clearly not what was being suggested.

[browserman]

You're right, it turns out what the parent meant to suggest was only that they should be tortured.
