I do believe it was Kiss.

What do you mean why did I go? I have a right to go.

You have the right to put yourself in many dangerous situations.

That doesn't make it smart.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

I’m “smart” enough to know that I’m not going to put up with someone breathing pot smoke right in my face, because since it’s illegal I can back up my right to not have to inhale it from someone right next to me with intervention from security.

Which is what I did.

 

[Lunyfringe]

I think you are reaching a little bit (ok, a lot).

I see legal pot about the same as alcohol as far as consumption. You won't have people hanging around everywhere smoking it like people aren't just hanging around drinking.

Everything else you mention is quite a stretch.

You know how I know you have no idea what you're talking about?
Where is your research?
How about just a quick search... and we find data to the contrary.

Not to mention all the times I have been in public places in Colorado and smelled the unmistakable odor (but that's just some asshole on the internet, not a "news" source.), and NOT at concerts or other typical places.
I've seen people toke up on a pipe at a stoplight, smelled it in public parks, movie theaters, restaurant bathrooms, and a train station... and that's just what I remember off the top of my head.

All they get for toking up in public is a citation... unless they're behind the wheel... if they're caught before they crash into someone/something.

never seem anyone stoned crash. I'm sure it happens, but I've been around a jillion mega stoners and have yet to see it.

I did, of course, go to college in the Bay Area

And I have never seen 2 men have intercourse in person... but I'm not naive enough to believe it doesn't happen.

That's one big gay red herring.

I am in Portland, Oregon now where it is legal and have spent close to three months here. I have not smelled it or seen it being used once.

I was in Colorado for a month a few years back and never saw it being used there either.

I am not saying it doesn't happen at inappropriate times and places but it isn't an issue around me apparently.

Perhaps you live a sheltered life...
I sure as hell don't want to live in Oregon, either.

Keep the Rastafarians underground, or in other states if they want to be out in the open... invite them here with legalization, and I'll annoy the hell out of y'all with "I-told-you-so's"

 

[Wildcat Diva]

No further questions.

But yet you didn’t do me the honor of answering the question I asked right above your post.

 

[Vaquero]

I do believe it was Kiss.

What do you mean why did I go? I have a right to go.

Ok.
I mean , why did you go?
Did you honestly depart your abode in full belief that you and your party would not experience external combustion/consumption of a particular controlled substance? Herereafter referred to as "weed".

Was this you first and last KISS concert?
If not, was weed present at prior KISS concerts attended by yourself?
Was this your only exposure to such weed?
Disregard last question. You professed of prior, undesirable, experiences. My bad.

Have other "rock and roll" concerts delivered the same undesirable results?
If so, why do you and yours continue to attend such events?

Other than, it's your right, I mean.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

Why did I go? Because I wanted to see the show and enjoy the music.

Did I honestly believe etc etc etc.? I did not think about it, nor did I care or worry... I know what I am putting up with. I do not have to put up with someone smoking weed right in my face.

This was my first and but not my last KISS concert.

Prior KISS concerts question... n/a (but I’ve been to lots of concerts. I have never put up with that shit right in my face. I’ve always used such a manner to respond and have been overall generally satisfied with the results of my doing so).

Other Rock and Roll concerts? Yeah, I have gone and I’m quite comfortable in my role of going to enjoy the concert without being intensely subjected to such an experience of having some random inconsiderate person smoke pot right by me for any length of time. I shouldn’t have to. And I never end up having to, because I will make a scene or get security. I will stand up for what I want, which is to enjoy such a concert without an intense experience of pot smoke in my face.

Undesirable results? No, I’m quite happy with the results of my behavior. With that being said, I’m rarely going to shows anymore because of the general rudeness of people (in other ways) which does make going to shows not that much fun. I think that’s fucked up.

Guess some think I should give up enjoying live music that I should be able to enjoy because people love their pot so much and don’t care whether or not I do.

However, if there is a live show I really want to go to, I’ll go and deal with it my way.

Why would I attend such an event? Because I enjoy music and I don’t think I should have to put up with an intense experience of pot smoke in my face to experience said enjoyable live music, and if someone thinks I shouldn’t mind, I don’t mind showing them that I do.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

And you really didn’t answer my question.


You just asked me a ton more questions.

 

[Vaquero]

I guess I don't know how to ask "why did you go?" in a different way.
You asked "what do you mean , "why did you go"?"
That's exactly what I meant.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

Yeah, I guess I get it. Well hopefully you understand now. ‘Why’ is often a question asked that yields a defensive response. I took the “why” as an “why on earth?!”

Hopefully I answered in such a way so that it makes perfect sense, assuming you really wanted to know and not just provide a critique.


It just seemed like a weird question. Well I like the music and I bought a ticket. That’s why. Simple.

Leads to dancing?

Lmao

 

[toddnjoyce]

No one has brought up tobacco.
Nicotine. Strongest addiction I've ever had.
Bad for me and those around me.
Real bad.
Completely legal.
Federal and State.

The funny part is that governments everywhere, at every level are doing there best to punish and put out of business tobacco companies.

Yet, some have no problem with legalizing marijuana. Then, you have California. Where a cup of coffee, a joint, and a cigarette all get a cancer warning.

 

[TheDan]

If my neighbor has a pot farm in his backyard and that lowers the value of property, I’m impacted though I did nothing to support it. And because he’s now growing a cash crop that’s in high demand, my exposure to property crime is increased, further reducing my property value.

Well, I guess that's why HOA's exist. Your neighbors can do any number of things you don't like. I've had neighbors over the years complain about my junkyard, or shooting, the state of my lawn, or the ducks quacking. I try to be accommodating, but ultimately it's just too bad for them. Move somewhere that there is a mutual agreement against such things.

Interestingly the one neighbor that complained about the ducks and my lawn is a chain smoker, alcoholic, and occasionally smokes weed as well. His nasty smoke often wafts into my yard. Don't really blame him for it since he can't control the direction the wind blows, but I find it funny that the least considerate people tend to make the most noise about others.

They really don't want the tabacco companies out of business.. they just want a large share of the profits (taxes).

Canada did a study a while back after they started single-payer healthcare to determine if they should ban tobacco, and quantify just how much it cost the healthcare system. The conclusion (and I'm not sure if there was any bias there) was that it would cost more money if they banned tobacco. People who habitually use tobacco tended to get aggressive forms of cancer and die at a faster rate, with less (expensive) treatment options. Without tobacco, a significant portion of the population would live longer and be a burden to the healthcare system as they advanced in age.
