Cannabis smoke is healthier than tobacco smoke but why wouldnt they make exceptions for coffeehouses? -- Posted by campina at 1:14 pm on July 1, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 1:13 pm on July 1, 2008 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 -- Posted by Ad libitum at 1:15 pm on July 1, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 9:14 pm on July 1, 2008 Kinda fucked up, though. Cannabis smoke is healthier than tobacco smoke but why wouldnt they make exceptions for coffeehouses? How can it be healthier?

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.
