i actually kind of miss the discreteness of people going out to a field, or in a back alleyway to smoke. the stigma around it was kind of a good thing, as it meant that people made sure they were smoking somewhere that didn't bother the people around them.

overt drug abuse isn't a good thing, and we'd do ourselves a favour to resurrect a concept of discretion around use.

it shouldn't be socially acceptable to just light up a blunt wherever you want - you should be expected to get away from the world a little, if you want to do it.
