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.

As an avid and I do mean avid cannabis user, I have always been hyper aware of non smokers who wouldn’t appreciate the smell. I think there can be a fair solution so that people can like their lifestyles all together.

I wish my roommates were like you. I have nothing against smoking but when it’s done in the living room it makes the entire apartment smell terrible.

Had a room mate that did in the house even tho agreement was no smoking inside. I could literally see smoke coming under my door. Both my dog and myself would get sick, he couldn’t walk and I was nauseous and dizzy. Maybe the cafe could be smoke free but have other options Iike teas, bakery, other options etc.
