| Comment | This is a big part of why I wish it was legal.
Have you ever smelled homemade moonshine? If you read news reports from the prohibition era they talk about the disgusting, overpowering stench of alcohol.
The gross burnt tire smell you get all around Glasgow right now is shitty skunk, the result of people not having any choice and buying whatever their dealer has. Good, casual daily smoking weed tends to smell fresh and floral. There's a lot of rich funky smelling strains, but they're more party strains that you wouldn't be smoking in public (the equivalent of a red bull vs a bottle of tequila).
Legalisation wouldn't immediately mean people started smoking more sensibly but it would definitely be the first step to letting social convention dictate behaviour, and I firmly believe that once the excitement died down you'd have far fewer kids smoking skunk at the bus stop. |
