While we are at it, let us for a moment supplement the word "freedom" with the word "peace". A word that cannabis users in particular have held in high regard down through the ages.

On occasion, does my idea of peace cause an intrusion on others... sure. I would be foolish to say it didn’t. Is the same not sometimes true of others actions concerning me? Of course it is. But there are very few things we cannot obtain through a reasonable conversation and a peaceful resolution.

It is up to the people themselves to carry themselves in a respectable manner. Be kind and courteous to those around you at all times. If someone intrudes upon your personal space, make them aware of it. You could also do much worse then simply laughing something off. If there was one thing above all else to be learned from the “dirty hippies” it was this... Peace, love, and understanding.

At the crux of the issue, the government should not be put in the position of power to police and dictate the simple instances of everyday life. If someone is smoking a cigarette and you don’t approve you can simply move along your own way. You could also politely ask the person to put it out. All this concern over simple idiocies, that is felt should be outlawed by new legislation is entirely asinine. Perhaps you’d see it fit to ticket someone for coughing too loud during a movie. Where does the nonsense law end? Well once you start, there is simply no limit.

Peace, much like freedom, is an extremely valuable thing. Both are fully possible for all with a little cooperation.
