As so many are pushing for the legalization of recreational and
medical marijuana, has anyone thought about the issue of secondhand
smoke?

Central Florida has many condos, apartments, time shares, and
zero-lot-line homes. What will happen when people decide to smoke on
their patios, in their front yards, their back yards?

Will we non-smokers all be forced to stay indoors with our windows
closed to avoid getting high? What about our beaches and parks and our
theme parks? Will we have to have smoking and non-smoking sections?
What about children being exposed to pot smoke?

I'm not opposed to medical marijuana, but if they can make a version
so that children don't get high, then why wouldn't that be standard
issue for all medical marijuana users? Why do the adults need to be
high? Or is the whole medical marijuana usage argument one big
smoke-screen?
