How should such a person set up their smoke detectors?
I'm thinking: False alarms triggered by the marijuana smoke might disrupt their calm, and removing batteries and being in a perpetual cloudy-headed state could lead to batteries not getting back in. And if they're smoking from bed, they'll probably need more protection than most people, for detecting smoldering bed sheets.
Oh, I said, like cancer, heart disease or hypertension?
No, she was in her 20's. None of that mattered. However a friend of her's set fire to the bed she was sleeping in. That made a very big impression on my Mom. She apparently liked a cigarette before bed and had no faith in her ability to just stop smoking then - so she quite entirely.
For some reason it makes me laugh.
It takes a lot, and I assume that's intentional. Smoldering sheets and drywall are going to produce a lot more smoke than a joint.
EDIT: I have apologised for the tone of this post below, and come to a very amicable conclusion with OP.

These are all very condescending points. They assume that a Cannabis smoker requires a certain level of calm and cant handle anything more, that they are unable to do something as simple as changing batteries, and that they are likely to burn themselves alive in bed. I am assuming you are insinuating that cannabis makes people 'stupid', and if I am wrong this is what your point comes across as.
Perhaps next time you might not immediately make such negative statements against a large group of people, even in a sarcastic or jokey way. This is also assuming your last post was serious and you are genuinely interested in how you are putting people down unnecessarily.
The article talked about willingly being calm, and caring less, and I honestly don't know whether that would extend to being more prone to the (not-uncommon) practice of removing batteries from an alarm, and then neglecting to put them back in. I've also frequently heard of falling asleep while smoking as being a cause of house fires.
FWIW, some of my work has involved safety. And some of my other work has involved human factors engineering, and more generally looking at how people behave in reality, and designing from there. No disrespect intended to people. If you read my comment in that light, does it seem less offensive than before?
I'll be more sensitive. Including being aware that I'm not familiar with marijuana, and bound to make incorrect guesses/assumptions, which I now realize could be frustrating to people. And also now being aware that some people might be accustomed to snarky comments around the topic of marijuana, and be on guard against that.
Wow, what a careful and considered response. Thankyou so much! I retract any snark or sarcasm from myself, apologise for my bluntness, and bow down to your very humble self. If only all interactions online could end this way. Thanks for making my day.
For the record many people have died because they fell asleep with a lit cigarette (probably because they’re likely drunk or just very tired) in their hand which then causes a fire. Stupid ass comment!
No he didnt, he made fun of people who smoke cannabis for being stupid and more likely to kill themselves in an idiotic way. I would have happily engaged in an intelligent comment talking about the dangers of smoking in bed, or even statistics about how smokers are moere likely to die aslepp in fires, but his comment was definitely not these things.
>All he did is speculate and he’s not that far off from reality!
This comment just shows you have the same condesceding viewpoint, which explains why you are agreeing with him. He is in fact very very far from reality, and if you had an open mind and explored this with other people with different viewpoints from yourself you would realise that pretty quickly.
Have a great day!
