Pot rules?

[Gisley]

Do you think Kelowna should ban the open use of pot in public places like many cities have?

I'd like to see the same rules applied as we already do with tobacco. I surely don't want to walk through a purple haze as I go about my business.

they already say the rules will be the same as tobacco lol

Staff is also recommending plants being grown in homes not be visible from public spaces outside the property.

I think that part of the proposed local laws is going to receive the most pushback, be the hardest to enforce, and in general is going to be a bit weird. That kind of thing is fairly expected however.

The rest of whats proposed seems to be pretty reasonable. Banning dispensaries on pandosy and bernard shouldn't be an issue, similar to the liquor rules. I'll be more curious to see how that goes when pot cafes / bars / edible places/ whatever eventually work their way into the legislature.

rules simple no enforcement do what ever you want government is a joke canada voted no 1 by criminals worldwide.

Yes ... Yes they should ..

You " hippie chew" smokers just . plain . STINK .....

[George Orwell 1984]

How will insurance companies deal with growing indoors? Will each and every home sale have to be assessed to determine if a grow operation was happening? What about smoking indoors and outdoors affecting neighbours and children. So many problems arise with legalizing and as it appears the issues are just downloaded to provinces and municipalities without input from the federal government.Where will increased enforcement dollars come from. It’s endless.

Not a fan of cigarette or weed smoke! and, the fact that they smoke outside does not make much of a difference because it lingers on their clothes and breath!
Some try covering up the stench with the stench of different perfumes!
...migraine!

[the truth]

stink on top of stink

[Bpeep]

Pot rules, man.

I agree with two of above posters about the stink that lingers on people that either are working with it all day or smoking it.
YOU STINK ! Plain and simple.

I swear every 2nd person in Lake Country reeks of that crap. Fer chrisakes - they can send people to the moon and soon equipment to the sun. Can't they just somehow mask the smell of it somehow? Oh wait - mmmm, better yet - how about just send those people along !?

I think all of us that hate the smell of it should just fart at these people - I don't like YOUR smell so how about you deal with MINE and see how you like it? *bleep* for tat right!

the smell of weed doesnt bother me cigarettes do tho and the most repugnant horrible one of all, perfume i can actually taste it in the back of my throat for hours after being exposed to a foul smelling woman who has bathed in that crap

[the truth]

same here , how most of these perfumes make the market blows me away, they pretty much all stink

[GordonH]

I expect nothing short of the very same rules/laws around smoking tobacco in public, to be the same with the stinky skunky smelling MJ.

Kelowna City Parks for one:

Does this mean the hospital entrances will now reek of that crap along with the other crap? I shake my head when entering that place through a cloud of smoke , people in hospital gowns with intravenous stands puffing away while leaning on the NO SMOKING signs . If there was one place to enforce the distances you would think it might be there.

Stink, stank, stunk.

Dispenseries sell vapourisers, chocolate, candies, tinctures and pills all infused with thc and/or canaboids. Many people smoke pot because of the lack of alternatives. So if your complaint about pot is the smell, don't worry, the dispenseries have your back.
