Stoner Thoughts “The smell” might be the dumbest possible anti-legalization argument
I hate when people (often boomers) complain that they don’t want their cities to “reek” of weed. While I agree that it is inappropriate to smoke around children, pets, etc., I find it astonishingly stupid that people choose to harp on maraijuana for this particular reason.
If we’re gonna call out a drug for causing airborne odor, make cigarettes illegal too. But noooo me need precious cigarettes!!!
If we’re talking public disturbances, alcohol is FAR from innocent. But alcohol okay because me like booze!!!
It’s just another pathetic dog whistle for the “everything is about me and I can’t mind my own business” mentality that boomers are plagued with.
