    That I can’t get on board with personally. Everyone has a vice.

    Imagine doing that with cannabis or drinking. Probably wouldn’t get near the support even though those are also vices.

      Second hand drinking isn’t really a thing and I don’t see people smoking weed publicly all the time to the point it’s disgusting to eat at cafe, at least never noticed it, so most don’t really care.

        It’s irrelevant. You’re telling people what they can and cannot do based on when they were born.

        It’d be one thing if no one could smoke. But youre not saying that. You’re strictly saying because you were born after x date that you can never smoke.

        That’s entirely messed up and my point being it’s terribly against personal freedom.

        And you basically proved my point- people will make allowances for other vices but not this.

          Note that I was telling what the government does, not what is my opinion on this.

          If I was steering the wheel, I’d just ban all drug consumption in public spaces, but allow non-destructive ones in personal spaces (your property), which includes tobacco and weed. I’d probably also limit the alcohol limit in drinks to something like 11%, so no absolut vodkas or smirnoffs as those tends to cause serious brain damage, which in return affects everyone around who have to deal with your vegetable state even when sober

          Disclaimer: I’m from east europe and alcohol consumption is kinda out of control for most people (yes, most people according to my experience)
