I feel that most public places would ban the smoking of marijuana because of the health risk (especially to children.)

I am just worried that I get splashed by the nasty bong water...
Really, it will wreck havoc on our public health system because we are on the brink... You think that peanut issue was bad... Let a bunch of pot growers grow their crops and not manage it public health wise properly... It won't just be a some bug issue, but a fungal or insecticide issue...
That doesn't mean that we cannot do it, because weed tends to grow anywhere in a greenhouse with UVB lighting and monitored by hydroponics. There is some new plastic recycled netting product that helps these plants grow.
People who smoke the weed still have to be monitored because THC narcotic is just a different beast. The pleasure centers in the brain are initially heightened, then wane over increase "smokage". People with chronic diseases, have a differing effect that is not understood other than it alleviates pain. That still does not mean you can be like "Uncle Joe" smoking it while on oxygen!
