Do you want a bunch of marijuana smokers on public transit with you? Exposing others to the dangerous smoke and causing such a noxious odor? Even if you ban cars they still are too impaired for things like bikes which cannot be easily done away with.

"Mass shooters at Rep. Gabby Giffords’s constituent meeting in Tucson, Ariz. (2011), a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. (2012), the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla. (2016), the First Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas (2017), and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. (2018), were reported to be marijuana users." (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9462911/). They are apt to commit violent crimes beyond just what they do on the roads.

Sib please get on a fucking bus once in your life. You are not allowed to smoke on them, marijuana or no.

When I am on trains or subways there are often other passengers with smoke on their clothes, this is still terrible.

as someone who suffers pretty frequent migraines i can agree that it's no fun when people are stinky in public. you don't hear me calling for a ban on perfumes, colognes, axe body spray (showing my age here probably) etc, etc, etc.

I’m calling for a ban on axe, even if you won’t. That shit is for awkward middle school dances, and nothing else

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

in my experience it was mostly used by assholes to tear gas a whole locker room by puncturing the can and then blockading the door so no one can escape

[–] Chump@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Okay, so it’s for two things

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lmao now I'm imagining Axe body spray cans being used as improvised tear gas devices in a riot.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

god i'd rather get hit with a grenade

you could try it against the cops but it'll just remind them of when they peaked in middle school

[–] Dengalicious@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If the smell was the only issue I would agree with you but marijuana causes violence and death in a way that those don't

I hate to break it to you but Reefer Madness is not a documentary.
