Man fuck stoners

[Carl-Richard]

So I was at the gym today, suddenly the entire gym starts smelling like the inside of a weed bag. And everybody were like "wut" looking confused, and the guys next to me were like "must be the ventilation system", and then they started talking about how they have been high at the gym before. It became so bad I decided to leave and take my workout outside elsewhere. And then I sent a tip to the local police cuz fuck that shit. It wasn't that I got extremely baked off my mind, but it's annoying getting that tiny buzz when you just want to get on with your day.

Then after finishing the workout and I was about to walk home, the same intense smell appeared right outside the gym. I couldn't locate the source other than some weirdo on an electric scooter looking like he was drunk and staring at me. I swear that upped my tiny buzz by a little, granted placebo of course (you can refrain from commenting anything about placebo; I'm an ex-mega-stoner with a psychology background, ait?)

Then I decided to jog home, and as I reached closer to home, I decided to take a bit longer route because I wanted a bit longer cardio workout, and I thought "man, if I run into anymore stoners, I'm gonna actually lose it" (this is a route I've ran into stoners several times before). And wouldn't you believe it, as I reached the most tunnel-like part of the route where there is just a long road with very steep hills on the side, there is this guy doing the classic stoner-lighting-a-joint move, and I'm like "you gotta be fucking kidding me", so I run past holding my breath, and a few meters past him, I of course had to breathe, and I inhale this what feels like a concentrated cloud of weed × tobacco smoke, and if I wasn't high already, now I was.

And I'm like going to vote the Green Party in our election the next week which wants to legalize the sale of this shit? I'm like halfway between wanting to vote the most right-wing party we have and becoming a member of the Green Party just to influence policy about having stoners stay the heck away from public spaces. I mean cmon, gyms? Tiny ass roads where people are walking? Where the smoke is confined to a tiny area? That's poisoning of public spaces.

I think you're being a bit neurotic and overestimating the impact that second hand smoke by walking past a dude is gonna have on you. Being hot boxed at the gym is different but on the street/park is a whole other issue. Also if you meditate often and are fully present small amounts of inhaled weed will affect your consciousness very little.

*Mentions placebo* 😆 Had it been any road, maybe, but this was not a normal road. It was effectively a tunnel.

That you even should have to think about whether you're getting high due to secondhand smoke in any scenario is a right you should have as a citizen to not be subjected to unwillingly. There are laws against smoking (tobacco) in public spaces already. I think those laws should be tightened when legalization comes. Weed is a psychedelic hallucinogen, it's not a joke like tobacco which just sharpens your focus a bit.

I mean I don't see people smoking weed more than cigarettes in public places where I live so I guess its region dependent. Second hand smoke from cigarettes is proven to cause cancer so I'd say it's much more serious than second hand weed smoke.

I didn't say they smoke more, as if that matters anyway.

Smoke is smoke. Burnt vegetable is burnt vegetable. Feel free to dig up the cancer rates from weed smoke.

There are 7300 deaths in the US anually specifically to cigarette second hand smoke. No such statistic exists for weed because the numbers are insignificant and under-researched to be fair as it involves a more complicated methodology.

I hear you man, I smoke weed myself, but I don't like smelling like it or making others uncomfortable around me, especially the gym. As a stoner myself I absolutely despise other stoners, especially the hippie ones that are inconsiderate of other people's air. You know what makes me pissy? Other stoners, especially the free love ones and go with the flow motherfuckers. 

You got to just deal with that shit man, I know it sucks, but try to reframe it. Sending you some good workout energy 💪

The two smokes are chemically similar: roughly one-third to two-fifths of each one’s identified smoke compounds overlap, and ~40–60% of their harm-linked compounds overlap, depending on which denominator you use. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32345986/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

It's not unexpected that burning one plant will be similarly as bad for you as burning another plant.

But even if it was "good" for you (anticarcinogenic), hallucinogens in public spaces is the issue.

I think you're right. When I asked it to Grok like this it agreed with you.

That's nothing. I'm surrounded by more than one neighbor that burns misc shit in barrels a few times a week. "Fuck these hillbilly retards" 

The stoners probably have their own forum where they're saying "fuck squares who get all in a tizzy about some weed smell". lol

I'll blow 5-MeO-DMT up inside your anus when you take a shit in a public toilet, how about that?

A public toilet while you're scoring a date, or the toilet at work while you're holding a meeting.
