It's about time. The last time I went to the mall, several kids were out by the loading dock area smoking weed in broad daylight. IDK what the laws are now, but I'm pretty sure they haven't suddenly become this lax regarding smoking out in the open. Especially as a teenager.

I refuse to believe teens didn't spoke pot in semi-open areas of your suburb as a kid

Recreational Marijuana was legalized in the 2022 election. Although it’s not official until July 2023, they won’t be cracking down on a law that’s soon to be gone in 5 months

Is it legal to smoke it in public? Illegal and not enforced?

> Smoking cannabis in a public place is a civil offense and may be penalized by up to a $250 fine for a first offense. Subsequent offenses can incur fines up to $500. The law also prohibits a driver from smoking cannabis in motor vehicles. This law takes effect July 1, 2023.

Yep. So pretty much treated like alcohol, where usually when cops see people subtly drinking in public they’re really not gonna do much about it unless they’re making a scene

Yeah but people don’t like the smell. They call it skunk for a reason. Plus the underage aspect of it.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume it wasn’t 12 year olds smoking weed like that in public. And If it was then we have a WAY worse problem than just smoking in public places on our hands

I’m seeing really young kids openly smoking, it’s almost like they’re daring you to say something. Especially becoming more noticeable in DC, like at the entrances of metro stations. I’m all about legalizing marijuana for adults. But it’s troubling to see really young kids do this, and the brazenness of it is also concerning.

I walked past several high school aged kids openly smoking it the Lenfant Metro entrance in broad daylight. The kids in DC are on an entirely different level these days.

Sorry, not all of us are addicted to that shit or want it blown in our general direction when walking around in public.
