on a positive side, we've got examples in reality of different legalisation models

most of the doommongers predictions simply didn't come to pass

Personally I think that if they can make big juicy tomatos, then they can engineer a cannabis that doesn't stank.... when that happens it will be a huge step towards legalisation

Ban alcohol and smoking.

there already exist strains that don't smell as bad, spode

and it's usually a sign of inadequate curing

doesn't the smell come into the argument for why they banned smoking?

Why do people not smoke them more? Do weed smokers enjoy the smell?

Not only the smell, but passive smoking

people should be allowed to partake in destructive behaviours if the ychoose

no, spode, it's because it's illegal, so the strains that are sold are the strongest/highest yield, which also tends to be the smelliest

not when it impacts my own peaceful enjoyment they shouldn't

and because they want to get the product to market fast, they don't cure it well

So it's skunk that is the pungent one?

aye

yes

hence the name

Right, that makes sense

they also don't have many variaties in the market place because the demand is such that any weed will do

so people grow the fastest and strongest they can

smell, and passive smoking are covered by existing measure for cigarettes

so these really aren't legalisation issues

so the smell entering my property or ruining my enjoyment of my backyard will not be a problem?

and public places will be policed?

then i'm in

it won't be any bigger problem than any other smell

and yes

it already is tho

I can only speak for myself here, but undoubtedly there will be others in the same boat. I work in job that doesn't allow for drugs and I get tested regularly, but my only real opposition to legalisation is the stench. What I experienced in Toronto wasn't pleasant. If they can sort that out, then you're a lot closer to wider public support

your problem is one of population density

i told you minutes ago that I live in a villiage my dude

yes, you need to live in isolation

about 3 miles from the nearest person should do it

this is why you have a problem with the roads

you can make noise complaints so you should be able to make smell complaints

fair

i'm happy so long as it doesn't impact me

otherwise i'm not

and a noise complaint ain't going to fly if it's reasonable

The defacto position is on my side though, you have to persuade the majority that legalisation of weed won't impact them... if you don't do that, you've got no chance.
