Reply to comment by bungocheese in Providence City Council looks to ban cannabis use in parks by GhostOpera406

I’m on the fence. On one hand, I completely agree with you…. On the other hand, this past summer ii was in NYC, and the law there is weed is allowed anywhere cigarettes are allowed… it felt amazing to smoke a joint in Central Park.

Personally I'm more or less fine with if cigarettes are allowed so is weed. Not that it matters what my opinion is

If you’re a registered voter, than your opinion matters.

But yeah, smoking bans should apply to smoking of anything: cigars, cigarettes, weed, crack, meth, brisket. If it’s no smoking, then it’s no smoking, plain and simple.

Didn’t know that tbh. We weren’t the only ones smoking, so I just assumed it was fine.

If people start leaving roaches everywhere like people do with cigarette butts, that would be annoying AF. That said, I’m pretty confident that’s not going to be an issue.

Roaches and weed are both typically natural and biodegrade as such. They're nothing like cigarette filters.

Just takes one rainfall for a roach to disappear. The cigarette butts take thousands of years to degrade.

Still in favor of less littering in general, but this isn’t really much of an issue.
