So a large group of people openly break the law and the police shouldnt react?

If a large group of people decided that they disagreed with the motorway speed limit so they would protest it by having a mass time attack lap attempt of the m25, would you find this ok?
No, that'd be dangerous.

it is hardly harmless, having witnessed the mental damage and dependency caused by "its only weed", it is anything but a bit of harmless fun.
Not a substance I've ever used (I'm not one of the cool kids on PH wink ) but it should be an open minded debate about whether or not the social benefits outweigh the other effects. Much like the cultural deal we have done with ourselves regarding alcohol.

Do you guys think its accepable to stink a public park for families out with canabis or cigarette smoke?

Now its moving off topic but its the same with those vape pens. All of a sudden we have people thinking its ok again to "smoke" outside schools picking kids up, some of them make more steam than a classic car with a blown head gasket

No it's not acceptable but that's not what you were commenting on, you were saying that cannabis is bad because of all the damage it causes it's users yet you seem to ignore the damage caused by alcohol to it's users. Yes more people drink alcohol however as a percentage of users I bet more people are adversely affected by alcohol than cannabis.

The smell thing - I shouldn't have to smell fat people's armpits but I put up with it.

The vape thing - its completely harmless to anyone around them. If people dont like the way it looks, then dont look at people doing it.

What an idiot. The vape thing is completely harmless, is it? OK. Smoking (and I am a smoker) is the most antisocial thing anyone can do. It imposes the smokers choice on anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity. Vaping is not harmless, I also do not want to be visually breathing in someones exhale (even if I do with normal air anyway), it also enforces that smoking is ok in an impressionable mindset.

Where did I ignore the damage caused by alcohol? Also alcohol tends to impact the user only in terms of health impact, smoking impacts the smoker and anyone close enough to inhale. Roy Castle springs to mind.

We are talking about a PARK which is obviously OUTSIDE. I got some of the smell because I chose to walk by close to them to enjoy the odour.

It also leads to other serious mental health issues, is a major gateway drug, actually isn't very cool - the ones that think it is are just fking idiot losers who are wasting their lives anyway.

Vaping isn't smoking.

No, I don't like people smoking all over my kids but when you're outside unless they're stood next to you it isn't really an issue. Smoking weed is very much like driking alcohol, I don't take my kids to the pub so they can watch people get pissed and I don't wish for them to see people getting stoned either.

I've never heard of anybody getting such a reaction from cannabis and I know a few users.

How odd that you know 3.

I used to smoke it and I'm ok, and everybody I know/knew who smoke/smoked it ok is too so my direct and true experience of trumps your anecdotal maybe true, maybe not 'evidence'.

Can I ask, Do they smoke cigarettes or tobacco with their weed?


On topic - I don't mind people smoking whatever they like, It seems stupid to congregate in public to do so, but it's not really causing any harm. The police did their job from what it looks like.

Or (more likely) are they also using other stuff?
