This is a very good day I believe. I don't smoke, and I do not believe I ever will. However, this is a step forward towards true liberty.

Could you explain why you think that cannabis smoke is more dangerous than other drugs that are already free for sale, like ethanol?

Why not just legalize every substance considered a drug right now? Even the really hard stuff. After all, as they say, 'it's not hurting anyone else.'

The true irony is that even with this, all the smoking bans in effect will still make it almost impossible to actually use it anywhere.

I'm pleased by this. I did not expect it would happen. I would prefer people purchase marijuana legally for recreational purposes instead of alcohol.

Bullshit!
I don't want people running around naked getting high on designer drugs becoming cannibals. Hard Drugs do danger to non-drug users too.
For so long, Mankind has been plagued by division. Division by culture, creed, skin color, religion and nationality. These very divisions have been the cause of most human conflicts. But in the age of globalism, we can finally have that chance to implement a world government where all human beings are seen as equals. Isn't that what everyone wants? World peace? I do. You should support that too. It may not end all conflicts, but the reductions of Man on Man violence will be at an all time low when the entire planet gets administered by one governing body.

Good. Now for the other drugs.

........Do you really want a source or are you joking.

I know. I was expressing sarcasm. Believe me, I am a firm believer in severe punishments for drug use. Just using their logic is all.

Firstly, marjiuana is regulated and is harmless compared to something like cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. Secondly, you can ingest pot through eating and drinking, smoking isn't necessary.

Nice logic.
