1. It stinks to anyone else even remotely close to them trying to eat 2. Servers and bartenders are legally liable if a DUI driver gets in an accident and they were the last person to serve them alcohol. Good call
I will fight for your right to use it but please keep it at home as someone who has an allergic reaction to it I have had to leave places where people come in smelling too strongly of it. It's not fun when you start having trouble breathing because they couldn't be bothered to think of anyone but themselves. I know the good it can do for some people and like drinking keep it in an appropriate setting. That also goes for those who swim in their favorite fragrance.
I TOTALLY agree with this and would go there, I think they should have this sign EVERYWHERE as I get sick when I smell it, so when I am in a store and the pothead is in front of me, I have to leave, how do you know know you smell so bad?
Unfortunatly , you may also be offending and grossing out the rest of the place who has to smell that skunk weed smell. Habitual smokers often can no longer smell it because their smell receptors are fried.
Am I the only one who noticed this place has a "D" rating by whatever inspection authority/association it is that rates restaurants using the A-F scale?
Bunch of burnouts hating on this image but it fucking stinks. I smoked everyday for 25 years and my state recently legalized. My entire city now smells like pot in every urban area. If I'm sitting down in a restaurant the last thing I want is the entire place smelling like pot too. It's no better than tobacco.
There is a house down the road from me that stinks like weed 24/7. Night, day, weekday, or weekend, it always smells like weed. I enjoy smoking it, but in part due to the smell, I usually either vape it or take an edible. I can never smell what I'm smoking, but others have said the smell when I'm vaping it is nowhere near as strong as when I smoke it.
It's not but it IS noticeable. Now you got these young guys out there smoking blunts in parking lots and driving around hotboxing. Get a damn sploof, you guys.
I live pretty rural, so I am not used to the smell at all. I went to Amsterdam and the smell hits like a truck, its so horrible. Tabacco is bad, but to my experience I can just walk away from the smoking person upwind and don't smell it, but weed smell just seems to keep hanging for a long time in the area.
Dollars to donuts they aren't turning away heavy perfume/cologne wearers or people who smoke cigarettes that stink just as much, if not more. Just hypocritical bullshit to hate on weed smokers.
Signs like this one I appreciate, because I want to enjoy my time at a restaurant. People who've smoked a whole bowl smell like a walking skunk.
Enjoy the legal weed! Just satisfy your munchies responsibly because a restaurant doesn't need you stinking up the place. Just like order take out or something. We stopped letting people smoke cigarettes in restaurants because of the stench, I don't see this as any different.
Not every person who smokes though smells like garbage. Plus, smelling like weed is subjective. I may think you smell like weed, where the next person doesn’t smell enough to care (who could be a waiter that is having a slow day and wants business)
We stopped letting people smoke inside because second hand smoke is health disadvantages to everyone else. sure the smell can be irritating, but nobody is getting kicked out of a restaurant because they smell like an ashtray.
I've served enough people who absolutely reek of it in my line of work to understand. It's not just about the one weed smelling customer you're turning away, but the ones who might be turned away for having to sit close to them. You lose more allowing the foul, powerful odor. It's absolutely repulsive
Probably gonna get downvoted to shit for this, but I'd frequent a place like this. I *hate* the smell of weed - it makes me want to vomit. I've got nothing against those that want to partake - but good God, the stank. Might as well go cuddle with a skunk for a while.
I have no issue with those who choose to smoke as long as it’s not in public, especially when behind the wheel. Based on what I see on the roads, though, a lot of smokers don’t care.
That's true. Reminded me how for some reason the car manufacturers (and third-party solutions) just stop caring about making lights that don't blind the person driving the other way around, it happens when they change to LEDs but I'm pretty sure there are solutions that can do it right and yet nobody cares
I get that and sympathize. On the same token, I'm a little nervous that suddenly every person of color who visits that establishment suddenly "smells like weed" just like when they get pulled over by the police, and basically for the same reason: racism.
I don't mind the smell of weed (ex toker), but I feel the same about cigarette smoke. Especially stale smoke. It's common courtesy not to reek when going somewhere public.
I’m with you. I’m all for personal freedom but I hate that smell. You want to enjoy some edibles and come eat next to me at the restaurant, I’m all for it! But please don’t ruin my meal coming in reeking like skunk farts.
It's not about personal freedom, it's about being considerate to other people. If people think it's personal freedom then it's also a violation of my personal freedom of enjoying my meal that I paid for in the restaurant.
Dollars to donuts they aren't turning away heavy perfume/cologne wearers or people who smoke cigarettes that stink just as much, if not more. Just hypocritical bullshit to hate on weed smokers.
Weed and cigarettes do not smell the same in people. Cigarettes stink, but the distance you can smell them is not nearly as far as weed. Weed stinks from so far away. Also, fewer and fewer people smoke cigarettes anyway.
Hey, I'd be down for banning all strong ordors. That been said, in my experience at least, people strongly smelling of weed is much more common than any other source of smell combined.
Because drunk drivingis illegal and leads to deaths in traffic collisions, smoking weed is a crime because elected officials were racially prejudiced and used it's status as a controlled substance to incarcerate people of color and remove their ability to choose who represents them in most elections... Still confused why you serving someone who's drunk driving and serving someone who has smoked is different???
Went to a going away party for a co-worker couple Fridays ago. One of the older ladies came in, and I couldn't breathe. Her perfume was just so dang strong. Worked with another guy, manager, years ago that was like this. You could smell his aftershave/cologne before you saw him.
It's really interesting how censoring is coming full circle. In the 90's we were finally starting to realize a less censored world, especially with the advent of the internet. Now, since social media has the market share of social interaction, huge swaths of words connected to any kind if sensitive social matter are being deprioritized, so people self-censor to get around it.
Its not unreasonable to expect people to not have a skunk-like stench that you can detect from 6 tables away. It's nauseating and can ruin other people's meals.
Agreed, the campaign in the 20s? 30s? To call it marijuana in America has racist origins because it "sounded Mexican" so easier to smear people who use it that way. I'm not a stickler for saying cannabis instead but it's good to be clear about the history of it
It's 1900000% reasonable to deny service to reefers. What's pathetic is people who can't either wear clean clothes or go long enough without smoking pot to stop smelling like pot long enough to be in public. I've smoked my share of pot. I can't go out my front door without smelling pot literally everywhere. Trust me, it gets annoying as fuck, instantly.
Yeah I've smoked pot, don't mind people who do, but that stuff stinks. My friends who regularly smoke it, their cars stink. I've taken a friend to the shop to pick up and just the short car ride was enough for it to stink up my car for a few days. At least cigarettes don't stink unless it's on fire.
Hot take. I don't even like cigarettes smoke smell if people come in smelling like they just went 3 rounds with snoop dog it's gonna have much the same impact. Your rights end where mine begin, second hand smoke and all that should be enforced regardless of what you're smoking, vapes included. Now on the other hand, smoke whatever you want...just keep it away from me.
Agreed and as someone who's apparently allergic to marijuana, I really appreciate pot-free zones. Ever since they legalized it, I can't get away from the stuff and have off and on allergic reactions all day.
As someone who has had meals ruined by the stench of marijuana on fellow patrons I appreciate this policy and hope it is extended to cigar smoke, cigarettes, and worst of all Patchouli. 🤢
The fuck? You know smell is tied to taste, right? So especially in a restaurant, a smell can ruin the meal you're paying for. I've got a strong sense of smell and the smell of people affects me more than anything else. Literally makes me nauseous. So you think that's okay to consciously to do other people? Selfish people who don't give a shit about the people around them are also fun to be around. Must be awesome being that self centered. Have fun smelling awful I guess. Good for you.
It's not a sense you can turn off, and it's part of the same system which causes humans to vomit or become nauseated, let alone enjoy food. I'm all for letting adults toke up at their leisure, but if you drown yourself in perfumes or any other oderants then the onus is on you to show some common courtesy for your fellow beings. It's bad enough when people use body spray in gym lockers, I couldn't even imagine trying to eat in those conditions. This is what take-away is ideal for.
You do realize that people who are suffering from severe nausea due to cancer treatments, use Marijuana so they CAN eat, right? It isn't all about getting token up. It can be very very medical.
Acting like the exceptions define the rule is pretty myopic. And that's speaking from the experience of brutal, years long cancer treatment. Don't use us to try to defend your dumbass rhetoric
They aren't treating symptoms with weed-scented candles, pal, the aroma itself is hardly appetizing. Otherwise, Febreeze would have already capitalized on it, rather than vainly being used to mask it. If you're going to put on a fur coat and hotbox your friends Civic in the parking lot, just order pickup.
Gives me a near-immediate migraine and makes me want to vomit. I'm fine with legalization but now people have no reason to hide it and they reek all the time
Same. Don't know what it is about it but the smell alone makes my head seriously hurt. The smell of a skunk is better than that. I don't get the nausea luckily.
In the UK, smoking (tobacco) was banned quite some time ago now. It's so much nicer for those of us who don't smoke. While I'm not keen on the state saying what people smoke, I'm not looking forward to the stench of weed everywhere - had enough of that at college, it's rotten for those who don't partake.
Either way you reek. You just don't smell it because you're used to it and it's dulled your sense of smell and taste. Non-smokers can smell you like half a block away even with a vape..
It's a difference in range. I don't think I've ever been at a restaurant (all non-smoking in my state for like the last 10 years) where I could smell a tobacco smoker "residual stench" from the table next to me (you usually have to be pretty close), but a weed smoker you can often smell from the other side of the room.
People who reek of anything unpleasant should be turned away from decent restaurants. I would expect a restaurant to turn someone away who has terrible body odor too
I can't smell people's car driving down the street from cigarette smoke. I definitely can with weed smoke. Cigarettes are gross, but it's not nearly as strong a smell most of the time.
Recreational weed is legal in my state, which is awesome, but it's become license for some people to just fucking STANK like ditch weed in public after hotboxing in their cars. Like you can smell them 10 seconds before you see them, it's way too much and I would think a restaurant is in their right to kick them out for smelling that awful.
I have experienced people in restaurants that smell incredibly worse than if they just smoked marijuana, people that smoke cigarettes in their home 🤢, people who don’t wash as often as they should, people in dirty clothes, I don’t expect them to be kicked out, so no, not for smelling like weed either, get over it.
omg the people with no sense of smell who douse themselves with perfume are so gross. Had a lady at a movie theatre 4 rows up from me like that and I had to leave.
What's so stupid about people nowadays is you saying that somehow means you despise anyone that smokes.. it's not that. I could care less what you do with your body but I shouldn't be subjected to you reeking like a skunk.. especially while I'm eating.. we have smoking and non-smoking sections for this reason.. we need like a weed *room* for these people that want to stink up the place..
“Couldn’t care less” and people in general smell bad for various reasons, much worse than smoking pot, so I guess I’d prefer that smell over no deodorant, stale cigarette, old beer, sweated liquor from the night before, etc.
Yeah. Where I'm at (PA, US) it's been banned since 2008. The point however still stands. Places could ban marijuana smokers or simply shadow section them.. as in it's not mentioned but because they stink they get sat someplace in particular.
I get the joke of marijuana giving people "munchies" but as a non-smoking customer I don't care. Clean yourself up. Eat an edible instead or something. You don't have to stink the place up.
I had that thought as well, but they'd be better served by saying you can't come in if you stink, without specifically marijuana. Covers all other circumstances where someone might stink too.
I feel like that opens the opportunity to refuse to serve homeless people though. Granted, most private businesses already have the right to refuse service (as long as it's not for reasons that are of protected status like age/gender/race/etc) so they probably could do so it they wanted.
Rarely and I mean rarely, have I smelled people who smell as strongly as weed. Like someone said, you can smell them coming. The same people driving in traffic and its so strong that I have to roll up my windows following them down the street. I walked by a guy with his car door open on my way into Walmart some time ago. I was like 40 feet away and I thought I was going to get a contact high. I completely understand this restaurant.
saw that from a cop once. Idk, I’ve met some people who smell like what they do, which is alright if what you do is crunch numbers, less alright if you’re a dairy farmer.
Was a nice cool day so I didn't even have my blower on in my car; Windows were up and a truck pulled in next to me, their windows up. As soon as they pulled in my whole care was filled with the smell of cigarettes. Like how much are you smoking that in that situation it smells like I'm the one smoking in my car?
I'm 41. I grew up in the 90s. You're right, everything stunk, even restaurants. I miss the 90s, but I dont miss that part. It's nicer now without my kids breathing second hand smoke because people can't wait until they get outside. I'm a former smoker. I had coworkers comment that they didn't know I smoked because I never smelled like it. I smoked away from people.
sickjessi
It's called decorum. Most places don't care if you're high, but they do care if you're obnoxious, and smell is one of those factors.

Now on the other hand, smoke whatever you want...just keep it away from me.
EmperorWiggles
Agreed and as someone who's apparently allergic to marijuana, I really appreciate pot-free zones. Ever since they legalized it, I can't get away from the stuff and have off and on allergic reactions all day.

I give the benefit of the doubt and assume it's to avoid bots that ban any post that mentions drugs of any kind.

I think it is great how easy it is to bypass the algorithm.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
I'm sure PrincePiggo understands that much and is rather questioning why this is something we've (in the royal sense) just kind of accepted.
SkidMarc25
We will all just bend to the Almighty Algorithm. There will be no fight, it will just happen.

Personally, if I had to censor innocuous words to post memes on a given platform I just wouldn't post to that platform.

Easier when you're a nobody harder when you have big following and youtube pushing your videos out means you make enough money to pay rent

Believe it or not, not everyone wants to smell weed while they eat.
MCTMCT
You could say the same thing about alcohol, cigarette or perfume.
PotOfJam
While I 100% agree, only one of those has a health impact to those around them.
MCTMCT
Allegedly..
PotOfJam
Second hand smoke does have health impacts, no allegedly about it.

As someone who has had meals ruined by the stench of marijuana on fellow patrons I appreciate this policy and hope it is extended to cigar smoke, cigarettes, and worst of all Patchouli. 🤢
thepunchline710
I can't smell marijuana, but a lot of people say it smells awful. It gives me a massive headache so I appreciate not having to be around it.
Enoan
I have never heard of Patchouli except that it is a Minecraft mod
bestleftalonetwice
people who have opinions on the smells of other people are really fun to be around. Good for you
TheRealJoeHasenguy
You stank
daftbeowulf
Imagine calling what is for some people an uncontrollable reaction in the form of nausea or worse an "opinion", good lord
Leaps
People have opinions on things that affect them, who knew?!
ChaosInherent
The fuck? You know smell is tied to taste, right? So especially in a restaurant, a smell can ruin the meal you're paying for. I've got a strong sense of smell and the smell of people affects me more than anything else. Literally makes me nauseous. So you think that's okay to consciously to do other people? Selfish people who don't give a shit about the people around them are also fun to be around. Must be awesome being that self centered. Have fun smelling awful I guess. Good for you.

Everyone survived the 70s - 90s. We used to smoke ciggys inside.
RAJrios
It's not a sense you can turn off, and it's part of the same system which causes humans to vomit or become nauseated, let alone enjoy food. I'm all for letting adults toke up at their leisure, but if you drown yourself in perfumes or any other oderants then the onus is on you to show some common courtesy for your fellow beings. It's bad enough when people use body spray in gym lockers, I couldn't even imagine trying to eat in those conditions. This is what take-away is ideal for.
MechanicalRomance
Somehow everyone survived the world smelling like cigarettes.
Theres a little voice in your head that goes "ohmigod i hate this" when youre exposed to a new sensation, be it sound, sight, smell, whatever.
You control that little voice. If you stop saying you hate it, you will.
If you continue to make a big deal out of it always, youre reinforcing your own behaviour.
Same reason transphobes get so hung up on they/them. Cause everytime they say it they go "ohmigod i hate this" internally.
RAJrios
How much dog shit bedside your dinner plate is too much dog shit for you to ignore? Just control that little voice, and eat your meal.
Cigarettes are banned in many restaurants, worldwide, BTW.
Let's not conflate trans rights and banning cigarettes.
Momzy120178
You do realize that people who are suffering from severe nausea due to cancer treatments, use Marijuana so they CAN eat, right?
It isn't all about getting token up. It can be very very medical.
ChaosInherent
Acting like the exceptions define the rule is pretty myopic. And that's speaking from the experience of brutal, years long cancer treatment. Don't use us to try to defend your dumbass rhetoric
AreYouABadPerson
They can go reek of weed in the privacy of their own home, then.
RAJrios
They aren't treating symptoms with weed-scented candles, pal, the aroma itself is hardly appetizing. Otherwise, Febreeze would have already capitalized on it, rather than vainly being used to mask it. If you're going to put on a fur coat and hotbox your friends Civic in the parking lot, just order pickup.
Momzy120178

i mean ok but also dont sit next to me reeking of skunkweed and bongwater
youareandshallalwaysbemyfuzzy
As long as we are paying the same room to tobacco smokers, who smell just as bad if not worse.
ButteryBiscuitBass
Yeah, it's a rank smell.
EmeraldLight
Gives me a near-immediate migraine and makes me want to vomit. I'm fine with legalization but now people have no reason to hide it and they reek all the time
eventide215
Same. Don't know what it is about it but the smell alone makes my head seriously hurt. The smell of a skunk is better than that. I don't get the nausea luckily.
ucandcantunc
How dare you expect someone to be considerate of others.....
dashers
In the UK, smoking (tobacco) was banned quite some time ago now. It's so much nicer for those of us who don't smoke. While I'm not keen on the state saying what people smoke, I'm not looking forward to the stench of weed everywhere - had enough of that at college, it's rotten for those who don't partake.

Sounds like either the best or worst law firm ever.

We get it, you vape.
Assholethecat
I have a nose and don't smoke. You're wrong. I have smelled that shit countless times
ZLKdrummer
As a non smoker this isnt true. Your sense of smell is dulled of you're a regular smoker. Not trying to be a dick, but you just dont notice it.
thedarkcanuck
Compared to a joint or a bong though
eventide215
Either way you reek. You just don't smell it because you're used to it and it's dulled your sense of smell and taste. Non-smokers can smell you like half a block away even with a vape..
ZLKdrummer
Sure but it still smells.
bloomPlanet
How do you feel about people who reek of cigarettes?
Assholethecat
They stink and should stay outside
cbale2000
It's a difference in range. I don't think I've ever been at a restaurant (all non-smoking in my state for like the last 10 years) where I could smell a tobacco smoker "residual stench" from the table next to me (you usually have to be pretty close), but a weed smoker you can often smell from the other side of the room.
shitheadtookmyname
People who reek of anything unpleasant should be turned away from decent restaurants. I would expect a restaurant to turn someone away who has terrible body odor too
eventide215
Or even too strong of perfume/cologne.. that can sometimes be worse. That stuff lingers.
itdoesntmatternoneofthismatters
Or cigarette smoke for that matter.
7thor8thcaw
I can't smell people's car driving down the street from cigarette smoke. I definitely can with weed smoke. Cigarettes are gross, but it's not nearly as strong a smell most of the time.
SubTrout
Recreational weed is legal in my state, which is awesome, but it's become license for some people to just fucking STANK like ditch weed in public after hotboxing in their cars. Like you can smell them 10 seconds before you see them, it's way too much and I would think a restaurant is in their right to kick them out for smelling that awful.
iktome99
God ya the random stoner you can smell before you spot them and somehow manage to take the same path as you around the store
PunchyFromCleveland
I have experienced people in restaurants that smell incredibly worse than if they just smoked marijuana, people that smoke cigarettes in their home 🤢, people who don’t wash as often as they should, people in dirty clothes, I don’t expect them to be kicked out, so no, not for smelling like weed either, get over it.
zebulorg
Can smell them when pass them on the highway
Jekkies
fr, and while they're at it they should kick out people who smell like cigarette smoke. imo the cigarette smokers smell so much worse, too 🤢
drivergrrl
Cigarettes and powdery perfume reek just as bad.
saucenes5
omg the people with no sense of smell who douse themselves with perfume are so gross. Had a lady at a movie theatre 4 rows up from me like that and I had to leave.
wadatahmydamie
Yup. Be classy and have a 100mg edible before you go out to eat.
Give it 30+ minutes and order all the appetizers as a little treat
eventide215
What's so stupid about people nowadays is you saying that somehow means you despise anyone that smokes.. it's not that. I could care less what you do with your body but I shouldn't be subjected to you reeking like a skunk.. especially while I'm eating.. we have smoking and non-smoking sections for this reason.. we need like a weed *room* for these people that want to stink up the place..
PunchyFromCleveland
“Couldn’t care less” and people in general smell bad for various reasons, much worse than smoking pot, so I guess I’d prefer that smell over no deodorant, stale cigarette, old beer, sweated liquor from the night before, etc.
cbale2000
A lot of states don't even have non-smoking sections anymore and just ban smoking in restaurants outright.
eventide215
Yeah. Where I'm at (PA, US) it's been banned since 2008. The point however still stands. Places could ban marijuana smokers or simply shadow section them.. as in it's not mentioned but because they stink they get sat someplace in particular.
I get the joke of marijuana giving people "munchies" but as a non-smoking customer I don't care. Clean yourself up. Eat an edible instead or something. You don't have to stink the place up.
trondason1
I had that thought as well, but they'd be better served by saying you can't come in if you stink, without specifically marijuana. Covers all other circumstances where someone might stink too.
SubTrout
I feel like that opens the opportunity to refuse to serve homeless people though. Granted, most private businesses already have the right to refuse service (as long as it's not for reasons that are of protected status like age/gender/race/etc) so they probably could do so it they wanted.
SubTrout
Also if you could kick people out for BO, every Games Workshop store I've ever been to would be empty.
7thor8thcaw
Rarely and I mean rarely, have I smelled people who smell as strongly as weed. Like someone said, you can smell them coming. The same people driving in traffic and its so strong that I have to roll up my windows following them down the street. I walked by a guy with his car door open on my way into Walmart some time ago. I was like 40 feet away and I thought I was going to get a contact high. I completely understand this restaurant.
casualgenderquestion2718
saw that from a cop once. Idk, I’ve met some people who smell like what they do, which is alright if what you do is crunch numbers, less alright if you’re a dairy farmer.
Ryebread91
Was a nice cool day so I didn't even have my blower on in my car; Windows were up and a truck pulled in next to me, their windows up. As soon as they pulled in my whole care was filled with the smell of cigarettes. Like how much are you smoking that in that situation it smells like I'm the one smoking in my car?
MechanicalRomance
You would have died in the 90s. We used to smoke ciggys inside. Everywhere. The whole world reeked of ciggys. And it was fine enough.
7thor8thcaw
I'm 41. I grew up in the 90s. You're right, everything stunk, even restaurants. I miss the 90s, but I dont miss that part. It's nicer now without my kids breathing second hand smoke because people can't wait until they get outside. I'm a former smoker. I had coworkers comment that they didn't know I smoked because I never smelled like it. I smoked away from people.
