Marijuana Discrimination!
    #22508104 - 11/11/15 06:39 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

I'm mostly venting for the sake of venting, but I've never come across a situation like this before in the PNW, and it got under my skin.....

I live in Seattle, which is obviously a pretty open-minded place when it comes to marijuana. In fact, in the years that I've been here, I have had nothing but incredibly open-minded encounters with just about everyone I've come in contact with, even if they weren't smokers themselves. I even make it a point to smoke in certain public places just so people become more comfortable with it and stop treating it like poison. I have had incredibly pleasant interactions with very obviously conservative older folks while at the dog park while I was tearing through a joint. These people, in my opinion, need to see that you can be a "stoner" and be a totally "normal", productive, friendly person. I love walking away from a conversation knowing that I shattered a stereotype, even if it was just one person whose mind was changed.

My thoughts are: if you can drink alcohol or smoke a cigarette in public, how is marijuana any different? Why are some people so willing to inhale 2nd hand cigarette smoke, but not marijuana?  I could rant all day about the scientific facts that prove it is MUCH less harmful than tobacco and alcohol, and I'm sure most of you agree with that.

Anyways, the whole point of this rant is that I was in a bar tonight, being served one of the deadliest drugs known to man, and I was harshly chastised for merely bringing up the topic of marijuana. I didn't pull out a sack at the bar, I didn't light anything up, I literally did nothing disrespectful. All I did was start talking about cannabis, and the old lady behind the bar became incredibly upset and ended up rudely telling me to leave after she realized that she had no argument to validate her beliefs. All she knew is that she didn't like marijuana, but she didn't have a reason why. It was pretty frustrating and ironic to see a bartender chastising someone so harshly for using a mind-altering substance.

Like many of you, I have fought my whole life for my beliefs in these medicines and freedoms, and, like many of you, I have lost significant chunks of my life/freedom for the fight against cannabis prohibition. So, excuse the rant. I'm incredibly biased on the matter. I guess I'm just surprised at my first experience with blatant "cannabis discrimination" in Seattle. Fortunately, it's getting better by the day, and one day we will be able to relax a bit :smile: Until then, be safe, my friends!!!!

Totally agree. It's  her place OP. I wouldn't  be offended though. As you said she was older and more than likely stuck in the 80s view point on Marijuana. Funny they use to think marijuana drove black people crazy and tribal. Then they're  top scientists Saif it made us to passive in Vietnam. I use to talk about it all the time but after awhile it's just a part of my life.

Why are you drinking it then?
And quit blowing smoke on people in public. If you did that to my kid I would punch you in the face. People like you cause way more harm than good. What is wrong with being discreet? Why does it have to be in people's faces?

If I was sitting on a bench having a smoke and some douche walked by and complained about it, I would shove his ugly water-headed tard baby right up his uptight asshole and tell him to have a nice day.

Surprised no one has called op out on being :underage:.

Do you really think YOU are changing people's views on marijuana op? Who ever said second hand fags are ok to inhale? Why is it safe to inhale weed 2nd hand and not cigarettes? Why do you feel the need to smoke in public places? People like you kinda make me hop weed stays illegal, just so people like you(the people who think simply smoking weed will change others opinions) might have a chance at being arrested. You should honestly just gtfo.

But no go ahead keep smoking weed, one day the world will learn and it'll all be thanks to the fact that you secretly smoked a joint outside a national monument.:rolleyes:

If you're as open minded as you suggest you are, you will have no problem at all respecting the views of a bar tender who doesn't want to have a pot preacher hanging around babbling about drugs.
