dope stinks

So many people smoke dope outside now in crowded areas. Don't they realize how strong and unpleasant the smell is? It's far worse than cigarette or even cigar smoke. Tobacco smokers seem to (mostly) accept that nobody else wants to inhale their second hand smoke. But dope smokers act as if they're engaged in some cute, daring act of adolescent rebellion, or declaring their personal liberation in some important way, when they stink up the air for others. Yuck. I wish they'd grow up.

... I have grown up. Like my WWII vet grandfather, who saw smoking as a sign of "personal liberation" (nazis were against smoking, you see...), I see it as something I do because I want to, and the rest of the world can go suck eggs.

In spite of all of my dope smoking, I still pretty much gag when crossing Georgia street at mid-day, thanks to the exhaust. Or for extra fun, head out to the parts of the Trans-Canada where you can walk/ride right alongside the wall separating the freeway from the City. It's fucking disgusting.

If you want to improve air quality, do something about motorcar exhaust, not dope smokers.

Seniors are the fastest growing age group that are turning to cannabis for relief from age-related ailments.

Just try telling them they need to grow up.

There are many other worse smells in this city. I don’t smoke weed but the smell doesn’t bother me.

I wonder how old the OP was when he/she stopped being young at heart.

Sixteen?

I sympathize with the OP in principle, but I find the two smells vastly different.

Maybe it's because of all the added chemicals, but tobacco smoke bugs the crap out of me. I can even pick up a cigarette smoker two cars in front of me when I'm following them in slow moving traffic. Pot smoke doesn't bug me at all.

Sadly, for you, it's going to get a lot worse come this summer.
