I play outside with my 4 year old all the time and now I really can't because I don't want my son exposed to that. I've tried to say something to them and they just flat out don't care. I know most people who smoke aren't like this but this is a big issue for me, it's bad enough that non smokers are forced to walk through areas where people smoke all the time but now it's going to be pot smoke and for someone who doesn't do drugs at all, it affects me and I don't like the feeling and don't want my 4 year old son to feel that way.
I don't know any of the rules that are going to be going with this but I really hope there's some kind of rule or law that forces people to smoke inside.

Nothing personal, but I don't think your position is a reasonable one. Once recreational use of marijuana is legal in this country people will have the right to use it in their own homes, back yards, etc. (renters being the possible exception) in the exact same way they can enjoy an alcoholic beverage.
You can of course educate your child about the dangers of excessive use particularly by younger people but you can't expect your views to dictate how others enjoy a completely legal 'vice'.
