LEGALIZE MARIJUANA, BUT PLEASE DON'T SMOKE IT IN PUBLIC

I don't use pot, but agree it should be legalized, taxed and available
just like my wine. But, like cigarette smokers, inconsiderate pot
smokers may be their own worst enemies in their quest for mainstream
support.

I don't care if people want to get high on pot, but I do care that I'm
forced to breathe and wear their stink - like I had to at a recent
concert. It may take longer to get high by eating pot, but it doesn't
intrude on the comfort of others.

Or have we turned into such an instant-gratification society that
other people's comfort isn't worth a bit of a wait?
