THC is perfectly legal here (Quebec, Canada) and believe me, there is no smell on the streets!

What is actually disgusting and happens often in the streets is the smell of ordinary cigarette smoke.

It's not legal where I am at all and I get hotboxed on my morning drive to work every day...

The fact that so many people think it's fine to get high and drive is baffling to me.

It’s ok if you do it where you arrive at taps forehead

It’s illegal in London but you wouldn’t know it from the smell. That city stinks of weed.

It's legal in many states here. In SF it's absolutely everywhere and disgusting. Austin smells like tobacco and it's much better to my nose.

Your nose is literally a special flower. What smells good to it may not to another and vice versa. I far prefer the smell of pot smoke on the sidewalk to the smell of tobacco smoke. You youngsters missed the years of indoor workplace smoking and smoke breaks with 20 smokers surrounding the office entry door. It's just another smell to you. But for those of us who lived through the bad days of smoking, it's a toxic soup, a smoke inferno hell pit we're not thrilled about revisiting right outside of our favorite restaurant. A little bit of grass burning, no big deal. A cigarette and my meal's ruined.

This might be controversial, but smelling either in public makes me happy! Now the stale smell of tobacco-infused clothing, that is awful.
