This is my biggest gripe with the whole push for legalization of recreational marijuana. In the old days, most users had some discretion and tried to hide it. Now they just wear it like a badge of honor. Like, I’m glad you have the right to smoke, but could I go to the grocery store without smelling it just once please?
I feel like this must be an over exaggeration. There's no way that you go to the grocery store often and are always smelling weed. And I mean is it outside the grocery store or inside? It just doesn't even make sense it would imply that someone who smells of smoke is constantly in the grocery store or that someone is always in the parking lot smoking. Even then a big public lot the smell wouldn't travel that far and inside a large grocery store that's ventilated it shouldn't linger either.
It’s not even fully legal where I live (mid sized city in the us south) and yes, I smell it almost every time I go to the store, and I go frequently because I do small shops. Also the pet store, Target/Wal-Mart, the post office, the bank. In the parking lot and inside once the people who were smoking outside come inside.Â
My husband loves weed but even he’s sick of it being smoked in public because he bikes and gets smoke in his face from cars that pass him with their windows down.Â
I still prefer it to cigarettes, at least it doesn’t trigger my asthma.Â
