What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists?

They still don't like smoking weed here in Atlanta, GA...Or the rest of the state.

It's legal here in Oregon. Only, most places will tell you that you can't smoke on the property. And you're not supposed to smoke it outside in public either.

So it's legal to smoke in private outside only. And everyone just smokes inside anyways cause it's fucking dumb how specific that is.

Tbf I like all those restrictions for cigs. It shouldn't be different for weed. At the end of the day, people shouldn't have to breathe in someone else's polluted air if they don't want to.

Yeah, certain strains of the stuff smell absolutely awful and seem to permeate every crevice in a half km radius. I would find it very obnoxious if that was all over public areas.

Same for exhaust fumes and fastfood smells then?

Anyway I think it's bullshit to not let them smoke in their own home.

But it doesn't make sense for it to be legal if there is almost no where to actually smoke it.

And what happens instead is people just smoke indoors anyway.

It's a fine (as in they fine you, I'm not Mario), which is better than before, but ive seen the MARTA police go after plenty of people
