So you're in support of it as long as it's only done by people who aren't poor, since they almost certainly don't have a private space where they can use it without running afoul of building rules. And things that are a nuisance to you are a crime. I'm not sure this is the support the legalization movement was looking for.

Interesting how quickly we moved from "Pot should be legalized" to "smoking in other people's face is a universal right".

Smoking anything should be illegal in public. We already have cigar bars, and I know places like Amsterdam have "coffee shops" where you can smoke your weed. I don't see why we can't follow that model.

The acceptance of smoking in general (tobacco, not pot) has changed dramatically in the last 20 or 30 years.

It used to be everywhere, sometimes with a token no smoking section. Hell, ash trays used to be a thing in non-smokers homes.
