Can you get 2nd hand donut?
That is also another issue. If I walk outside to the new smokers/pot area and happen to walk past a couple of stoners, how much can I inhale which will affect my reaction time even for a split second? Can I sue the pot smoker for unknowningly walking into an area he was in, which caused a drop in my short term reaction time which might have injured someone in an accident?
This is a real question, which would be brought up within years of legalization. Then what does it become? Maybe they'll say I should wait 10 minutes before driving if I walk near someone with pot.
My point is pot is one of those things which comes dangerously close and does create many socitial problems which significantly infringe on the rights of others. Being fat, standing in the sun too long doesn't.

Neither does 1 wrong. If liquor is wrong, we should make it illegal. I don't think liquor or marijuana are 'wrong', in a free society people are allowed to do what they want with their time/money, regardless of the moral/value judgements of others. The Canadian people reaping zero tax dollars from the enterprise is 'wrong'.

Nope, but it would be too hard to enforce. Remember? It was tried and failed. Personally? If another drop of liquor was never consumed it would be one of the best things to happen.
At least now, the pot smokers are confined and somewhat regulated in their behavior, both in terms of access and availablity and social acceptance. If it is legalized, more people will be succuming to the ill effects of the drug, which can lead to more socital problems.
