> I find it crazy to decriminalise a drug that is supposed to be smoked. It is through second-hand smoke that people get addicted to a smoked drug

I can testify that as a child with a habitual smoker in the house, of ordinary cigarettes, it was kinda terrible. All our clothes would smell of tabacco, and teachers at school were convinced me and my brother are smokers.

after being tortured by cigarette smoke for a decate, we find them repulsive and have never touched them.

so it runs contrary to my experience, and i never heard of anyone aquiring addiction through 2nd hand smoking, but it can be damaging to the wholw familt.

> It is through second-hand smoke that people get addicted to a smoked drug before they start using it themselves

Eh? No, that's not generally the major concern about passive smoking; not sure where you got that from.

Not being what more people are concerned about does not mean that it does not happen. Although, I'll concede that cannabis is much less addictive compared to tobacco, for which this is how most smokers are made.

Second hand smoke is not how most smokers are made for _any_ drug. Generally that's peer pressure, but I see how those could be mixed up (being around smokers).

Yep, don't blame the second hand smoke, blame your own "first hand" desire to conform to the social norms and behavior of your peer group. This is why you should choose your friends very carefully.

Cannabis is not "supposed to be" consumed in any specific way. Smoking it is one way to consume it, but so are vaporizing and eating it, both very popular and with almost no harm (if any).

Agreed. Poor wording on my part. I edited my post. Personally, I don't care if people eat or vaporise it.

1. You are not going to get high from second hand cannabis smoke unless you're doing mouth to mouth or locked up with 3 other guys smoking in a closet. 2. 30% of daily cannabis smokers have trouble stopping vs 85% of daily tobacco smokers. 3. Smoking indoors uninvited is generally strongly frowned upon in most social settings and prohibited by law in areas open to the public. 4. You don't have to smoke, cannabis is also frequently prepared into "special" cookies or brownies and eaten. The downside is that you then can't have more than one cookie due to the...implications...
