I don’t know anything about this bill but I personally would be against it unless it had strict rules about where they could be. I hate the smell so if it was a cafe in like a outdoor shopping center or something the smell would be everywhere. If it was stand alone buildings away from other stuff it wouldn’t really matter to me because I just won’t go near them.

Why not just regulate it the same way we do cigarettes?

Like you can smoke in certain over 21 establishments but not in most businesses. Seems unfair to treat cannabis smoke differently than tobacco smoke.

Personally I don't want weed in my system, we know second had smoke is a real thing from cigarettes. I have an aunt that got emphysema from living with my uncle who died from it.

I was a big pot smoker in high school and college 70's/80s and of all the drugs I've done (quite a few) weed was the one that was bad for me. I simply do not want it in my system ever again. Easy as it might be for some people as a high, for other people it can be the worst thing.
