Smoking Pot in Public Areas

pikeslayer22 · #1 10-17-2018, 05:39 PM

So if people can smoke pot outside of a licensed premises why can’t I walk down the street and drink a beer?

RIGHT? i think we should petition for that . Weed smokers say its no different than alcohol.

Can I smoke it while I play on a golf course? Only asking cause they allow you to drink and drive!!! Not that it would ever stop me if I wanted to. I would try to respect other people and not smell up their space. Don't do it at the T Box. Would also save the roach for trying and desperate times.

Not toss it on the ground like a cigarette but

You mean you can’t drink beer in public?

does it ALL outdoors · #5 10-17-2018, 06:12 PM

Our draconian liquor laws desperately need to be updated.

Ya try going to Bowness park in Calgary and have a BBQ with beer. Or walk the river and have F&W stop ya with a beer in your hand. Or even a pond somewhere. Mclean Creek comes to mind. BULL K---RAP I tell ya. That's why I use to let my dog carry them in his saddle bags

I believe there is a movement afoot to get alcohol legal in some public places like parks and maybe outside stadiums. Would be nice if they loosened up.

To equate weed and alcohol is a bit silly though in this context. Get a bunch of people high in a park and the worst thing that's likely to happen is concession stands run out of munchies and a few people are put off by smoke. Allow widespread alcohol and watch the fun. Fights galore, vomiting, unruly crowd behavior. If you want to get informed ask police what causes them the most grief. What percentage of police time do you think is attributed to alcohol?...hint ITS A LOT. Most domestic disputes involve alcohol and most weekend callouts are alcohol related. Sprinkle in some higher test drugs but alcohol is still king of trouble.

No smoking in public places in Calgary.

You have never experienced this? Lifetime smoker or something? Nasal infection that left you without any sense of smell?

Canada, USA, pick a province, state, city town park arena theatre mall....

All it means to me is I will stop spending money where I smell skunk.

If people feel they must smell that way in public places we just will get our money back and leave. No big deal.
Hopefully the big fad passes and people at some point realize the stench annoys non users, but I sure don't hold out much hope for that. Most I have seen or blissfully ignorant of the stink or just do not give a fornication if they offend anyone else.

bat119 · #20 10-17-2018, 08:31 PM

I have rarely smelled it except at concerts or walking by a bar places I don't go often if I went to a Rastafarian festival I wouldn't be shocked or complain. Its a come and go scent you get a whiff if the winds blowing the right direction. Its not possible to get a cloud that lingers for any length of time in the outdoors.

I haven't smoked for over 30 years and don't intend to in the future but I'm nobody's nanny either smoke em if got em. I find 3 diesel trucks chugging black stinky smoke more offensive than pot BTW it doesn't always smell like skunk.

Yep.

Wonder if when prohibition ended there were fears everyone would become a zoned out raging alcoholic.

Trump says a lot of things.

I find people sitting near me barfing on their shoes a lot more irritating.

Football games. Hockey games. Bars. You name it. I'll take the pothead anyday over the "loud mouth soup" consumer.

Yeah, that's your choice. If you like the smell, all the better for you.

or golf clubs

or a television

or an atv

or heroin

or gopher poison

was there some point or are we just throwing in random things to draw attention away from weed?

Reddin · #29 10-17-2018, 09:15 PM

It's legal now. People have a choice. If you don't like it, too bad.

Complaining about the smell outside is ridiculous, the smoke drifts away in a few seconds, but some people just love whining about smoke of any kind. I agree diesels are the worst, I would like to see them ticketed when they sit and idle stinking up a whole parking lot.
You see thousands of people every day in Edmonton and other cities standing beside the curb inhaling that stinking diesel from the buses, every day all day long.............and you don't here a peep from them.
