#1 Yeah but just wait, just like in California, after the ban's come exemptions for 'medical marijuana". Funny how all the people pushing for that don't actually have any medical problems. Other than Terminal Stupidity.

#2 So will they need to use the medical marijuana as a food spice instead of smoking it?

#3 Unbelievable, this is worse than the no smoking in open areas nonsense from Northern California. I hope they clean out the city council at the next voting opportunity. Talk about an infringement on civil liberties.

#4 And an exemption for hookah-smoking Muslims, too.

#5 A ridiculous proposal of course, and just another example of government intrusion into our private lives.

However, it just makes sense to step outside to have a smoke, especially if you live with non-smokers in the apartment. And any building owner, including Apartment and Condo owners, currently have a legal right to not allow smoking in their buildings. They ALREADY have that right as owners of private property.

Here in San Antonio there are DOZENS of Apartment complexes where smoking has been banned indoors. Don't like it, don't live there, but a City ordinance is not only unnecessary, it smacks Orwellian.

#6 I'd start burning some seriously annoying incense. What, only ONE type of smoke is banned? Do tell...

#7 They will be coming for booze after they get this smoking thing nailed down to their satisfaction. That's when the shit will really hit the fan. Most folks in the hills still have their family tommy guns from prohibition I think.
