That's odd and you would think it would be the opposite.  I guess they think 2nd hand marijuana smoke isn't as unhealthy as second hand tobacco smoke.

That's because it isn't.


True. That isn't necessarily a statement of "go out and huff second-hand marijuana fumes," it's that that cigarette smoke is really vile stuff.

Kinda fucked up, though. Cannabis smoke is healthier than tobacco smoke but why wouldnt they make exceptions for coffeehouses?

How can it be healthier? Smoking cannabis over a long period of time leads to mental health problems like schizophrenia.



Tobacco-Known to cause cancer and kill you, and linked to many diseases
Cannabis-Only known to bring dormant mental illnesses to the surface. It never causes any mental illness. Also known for its non-toxicity, which means its physically impossible to OD, and never linked to cancer.

Smoking anything in public places is illegal there with the new law, or so I thought, so whether it is tobacco or weed it makes no difference.

weed is still allowed.. they joint shouldn't be mixed with tobacco.. that's the law
