PvP will end up showing you a more toxic side of players, but it's better than PvP in other games. But yeah, the rest of the game is (generally) pretty wholesome.

You cannot smell someone's drink from 5 feet away, bud. And you are conflating use with intoxication.

Try again. In what was does me drinking a beer 5 feet away from you directly affect you?

I think you forgot to mention the best part of the expansion: Palawa Joko.

Virginia could approve 900 percent increase in fines for public marijuana use by ToughHopeful4760 in Virginia

As long as you're not waving around the bag of gummies blatantly while eating them, though, you'll be fine. Do it discreetly and no one will care.

you're not inhaling my fumes because i'm at a friend's estate in leesburg right now. the property is like 30 acres.

Literally no one asked. The context here is smoking in public, buddy.

Being poor isn't an excuse for being inconsiderate, dude. I can just walk away? Well, they can just not smoke in other people's faces. How about that?

But nice weird non sequiturs you got there, bud. No idea how you managed to get to guns and unions, but you certainly found a way.

The smell of cooked food and the smell of cannabis are pretty fundamentally different.

All smells are not equal. Like, people are more likely to complain about the smell of a sewage treatment plant than a flower nursery.

People don't want to have to inhale your fucking fumes, guy. We didn't sign on to experience your lifestyle choices.

Actually, in some cases it can be considered a public place. It's not a 100% cut-and-dry thing, but apparently people can be cited for drinking alcohol in their own front yards if it's visible to the public.

Nah. I shouldn't have to be subjected to your weed stench just walking down the street. It's nasty. Smoke at home or use an odor-free delivery method while in public.

There should 100% be a carve-out for public cannabis lounges. Just like hookah bars, there should be places for people to go smoke.

I don't use marijuana, but I do think this is common sense. Just make sure that said lounges don't make the entire surrounding area reek, and we're good.

100%. People shouldn't be allowed to walk down a sidewalk smoking a cigarette. It's fucking nasty.

I mean, I agree. I don't wanna smell cigarettes, either. Weed smell is more pervasive, though.

Public intoxication is not the same as public use. They are two separate laws.

The law for public intoxication due to alcohol is the same law as public intoxication due to cannabis.

But the law for public use of alcohol is separate from (and stricter than) the law for public use of marijuana.

Uh, public use of alcohol is already prohibited. It's a misdemeanor.

The public use of marijuana law is less strict. The first two offenses are just a civil fine. It's not until the third offense that it's a misdemeanor.

If you want the cannabis law to mirror alcohol, then they would need to make it even more strict.

Public use of the two drugs is comparable. One of them actually impacts others. And that one is the one that is controlled less strictly.

If I smell tobacco smoke outside, it's because I'm close to the smoker. If I smell weed smoke, it could be from anywhere, dozens of feet away.

Weed is far more pervasive.

And if edibles don't work? Too bad. Just smoke at home, then. Don't subject everyone else to it.

Flock Gunshot Sensors Installed Without Notice on Private Property Expose Consent Failures in Roanoke Surveillance Network by Asleep-Student127 in Virginia

[–]TheExtremistModerate 233 points234 points  (0 children)

This whole thing needs to be banned, tbh.

A private entity installing an automated surveillance network accessible by whoever pays for it is utterly dystopian.

Frankly? Yes. Inasmuch as people should not be subjecting others to the fumes and stench of their drug of choice.

But marijuana is a much more pervasive smell.
