Reply to comment by DiegoForAllNeighbors in Providence City Council looks to ban cannabis use in parks by GhostOpera406

I think you’re missing the plot a bit. Usually ordinances like this and limiting cigarette smoking are very selectively enforced based on race and class. More often than not, this is just a vehicle to harass the homeless.

The argument for this on a health risk basis is a weak one. Secondhand smoke from cigarettes or pot in an open space is an annoyance to people, but it’s hardly a serious health risk.

If you think u/diegoforallneighbors is missing the plot, imagine what the people who are writing this are missing.

Indeed this is precisely what I was trying to get at in a diplomatic and charitable way because I believe that to be a generally constructive way of doing business. I think you’ll get a kick out of our website.
