The Editor,
What pot advocates are not talking about is the effect on the majority of non-users.
The stink from this product is everywhere now and sometimes makes me sick to the stomach. Even at McDonald’s I can’t get away from it.
I predict that pubs and other establishments over time will have fewer customers.
Why the general public is being subjected to this is unacceptable. Businesses are supposed to be smoke-free from when the no smoking laws went into place about 20 years ago in B.C. All the hype from pub owners that they would lose business was the furthest from the truth. In a short time, they had more customers because they had not realized how many people just weren’t going to pubs.
Marijuana is different.
It adheres to their clothes and stinks terribly for so many of us. And that stink then adheres to our clothes and we can smell it and taste it for hours.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government have created a monster for non-users and the concern about affecting children from establishments being nearby is the least of the problem because children are now exposed to it everywhere.
