More states legalize Pot 8) when for Oz?

Recently (some time in the last few years), I had reason to wonder about the effects of passive pot smoking. From memory, I did not find as much information as I would have liked, but it seemed that passive smoking could have a significant effect if it occurred in a rather small enclosed space.

Does anyone have any relevant experiences? Have you passively smoked and felt anything? Would you feel comfortable smoking near, say, children?

Never.

I smoked ciggys until 11 years ago. None of my daughters (27, 21 & 18 ) ever even saw me smoke a cigarette or anything else, let alone one near them.
Wouldn't dream of smoking anything if there were kids around.

New York has improved out of sight overall in terms of safety and declining crime rates.

I'd argue it's safer than Melbourne, which is hard to believe compared to 20 or 30 years ago.

I think it strongly depends on where you are. There are good areas and there are bad areas. The bad areas are probably very bad.
But I don't think there's any correlation between that and smoking laws or pot laws.

tru dat! we did tend to stick to the tourist or crowded areas! we took the bus through Harlem etc! but even so, its not as dark and dreary as i expected it to be. And it was way better than the area we stayed in a couple of miles from the white house! and just outside Boston! THAT was like the movies!!

Daytime bus tours are on thing.

I took the Frisco tour that went through the tenderloin. Very different prospect walking through there at night by yourself.

true, not many places id do that here either though! in New york me and junior went shopping up to midnight on our own, but we were right in the shopping part, next door to victoria secret, and H&M etc. I also walked around Miami at night looking for flu drugs for Nikki at about 11pm, no worries, but im very careful! where we stayed in Washington, it was a university (for deaf people, thats a funny story right there, hubbys face was hysterical, i didnt tell him and even the gate guy was deaf!!) i would not have walked out the front gate even in daylight, and trip advisor tells you not to, and it was literally less than 2 miles to the white house!

It's strange how there can be sharp boundaries between good and bad areas. One street may be perfectly fine, and the parallel street a 30s walk away is seedy.

Even the side of the street! In Boston we were next to a massive upmarket hospital, nice hotel, nice restaurants next door, there was a maccas diagonally across the street, we walked over there, and saw a cop car scream to a halt next to some teens? In bandanas, I didnt watch what happened, I was like okay we are catching a taxi back across the road! They were on the opposite corner late at night, with a few homeless in tents, and yet the side we were on was like Prahran!

The good bit of Prahran - or the bad bit on the other side of Chapel Street?
