Being triggered isn't just for SJWs.
Often things stick because I need to learn something from the event. More people should try it sometime.

I don't follow your logic.Legalization will eliminate any connection that I see.
ETA This was in response to Cam's gateway drug comment. Poor internet connection lost the quote.
I think you are reaching a little bit (ok, a lot).While the initial question, “Does this violate any of my rights?” Is a good question to start with, I follow that with the thought of “What unintended consequences could occur and will those violate my rights”. And that’s where I get hung up on this particular question.
The reality is that ingesting marijuana, medically or recreationally, is a personal choice. But, the ability to do so in public starts to infringe on my right to NOT ingest it.
If my neighbor has a pot farm in his backyard and that lowers the value of property, I’m impacted though I did nothing to support it. And because he’s now growing a cash crop that’s in high demand, my exposure to property crime is increased, further reducing my property value.
Since pot doesn’t replace alcohol, the incidences of DUI increase, resulting in a need for more law enforcement personnel, and increasing my tax burden.
It’s those unintended consequences that have yet to be documented anywhere I can find.
And that’s why I don’t buy the argument that legalizing marijuana is solely a personal choice issue.
Yep.Well,
Damn.

I see legal pot about the same as alcohol as far as consumption. You won't have people hanging around everywhere smoking it like people aren't just hanging around drinking.
Everything else you mention is quite a stretch.
The gateway is the fact that a user is finding a dealer to buy from that probably has heavier stuff. Also because it is illegal users don't necessarily shun being around the heavier drug users, with ease of trying something else.I don't follow your logic.
I had to read twice.The gateway is the fact that a user is finding a dealer to buy from that probably has heavier stuff. Also because it is illegal users don't necessarily shun being around the heavier drug users, with ease of trying something else.
If it were legal and sold at the store then both of these situations would be greatly reduced.
Does smoking pot make you want to get into harder drugs? Not necessarily but reducing the exposure to them would be a good thing for those under the influence.
Clearly you’ve never had a suckling babe at risk of drinking your tainted milk that you’d prefer not be so and shouldn’t have to compromise on.Fussing about pot smoke at a rock concert is like fussing about noise at a gun range.
What band headlined that concert?Clearly you’ve never had a suckling babe drinking your tainted milk that you’d prefer not be so and shouldn’t have to compromise on.
