Most kids who smoke weed, start with it but then try other drugs. I remember how at bus stops some of the kids smelled the bus when they got on after smoking a joint. I guess if it was in the brownies and not smoked we would’ve only knew because of their yeah man speech. But they were 13 yr olds. If you sit out on the lanai and the smoke drifts to you, what do you think? Remember pot smokers enjoy company who indulge with them. Hey, the dancing will change at the squares, it could be entertaining!

I was sitting on my lanai the other day and smelled it. I looked over my shoulder and saw the 8-man team pouring concrete passing a cigarette. About half of the men took a puff and the other half declined.
I didn't get high and the smell dissipated in a minute.
Both the high and clear-minded workers kept working and the slab looked fine afterwards.
I am pro marijuana, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to smell it constantly.
I just moved from a legal state and while I fully support the personal responsible use of marijuana, I hated when I had to smell it. Just like I love a good $10 cigar on occasion, I hate when I have to endure it from someone else.
The big thing in marijuana use now is to take the plant material and heat it in a chamber to where the materials start to vaporize and are inhaled. You don't get the burnt smell. Sort of like bruising a mint leaf by rubbing between your fingers compared to lighting a fall-time leaf on fire -- two entirely different smells.
The marijuana argument is tiresome. I've had discussions with people who 100% believe it is immoral and a gateway drug. I've had discussions with people who shout "my body, my right." People tend to paint their feeling on "Vices" with the color of their politics and religion. I fall into the middle,... be reasonable, be responsible, do all things in moderation with the consideration of the risks and impact on others.
I also understand that strange things follow a path of Rejection, Tolerance, and Acceptance. I am at each of these phases on different things I see. On Marijuana, I just happen to have arrived at Acceptance.
