Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Then the opinion should be ban smoking cannabis in public, not just a general ban.. and with that reasoning I don't see why it should be cannabis specific. I hate choking on cancer fumes of others, so ban smoking/vaping in public seems like a much better ban in that regard, if the concern is not harming others with 2nd hand smoke
But OP asked only for smoking weed, instead of banning weed altogether!? 😲
I'd absolutely agree on that. Please let us ban any drugs that produce 2nd hand harm! (I'd even put alcohol into that ban too then, for the violence drunkenness produces in the drinkers, that then harms all around them.)
Don't see why that's relevant. I never implied they said it any other way.
But a general ban on smoking weed rather than smoking in public specifically does mean you can't smoke at home too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Im down to ban it too, but then it would be an issue of enforcement :3
My mistake then (non native speaker here), sorry! Really thought you did. 😬 My apologises then, if I may. ^^
It's fine x3.. I may have phrased it oddly too as another non-native speaker tbh
