The Editor,
Re. "Should Canada (pass the Cheetos) legalize marijuana?" (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Dec. 16).
It's sad to read this debate. We already have challenged people believing they must smoke even though they throw their butts everywhere and they and the area they occupy smell like a dirty ashtray, and now you wish to legalize pot?
Come on, people, as a building manager I daily smell some tenant smoking pot and it smells like skunk, the stench lingering for hours. It physically makes me sick, so what is it doing to their bodies?
I manage a non-smoking rental building and we have two tenants who go out for a smoke every hour on the hour - nice of them but the lobby and elevator stink of dirty smoke for at least half an hour after they've used it.
If the government wanted to license some coffee shops or fast food restaurants to allow pot smokers to indulge, fine, but not just anywhere.
