   I'm the same way, I just can't stand it that something that was never really a   
   "problem" before, is now a problem, in that it must be taxed, it has stupid    
   shops all over Toronto with no regulation as to how many per block or keeping    
   them away from schools, parks, libraries etc.   
      
   Thats always been my biggest complaint with the pro-pot crowd; they never    
   think ahead, they never have considerations about how pot may impact    
   others or those that would not quite appreciate it... in short they are   
   incredibly selfish.   
      
   We used to live in a small apartment building where a lovely neighbor living   
   downstairs constantly smoked pot. The smell was everywhere in the common   
   hallway and stairwell. Very inconsiderate. My daughter at the time was    
   young and totally put off by it, disgusted and embarrassed to bring home   
   friends from school. Now she's 16 and thankfully still has no interest in it.
