What is Los Angeles Doing About Public Pot Smoking? | NBCLA

Smoking or vaping marijuana is not allowed in public, but walking around Southern California these days, it can be hard to tell. People are lighting up in public everywhere, in many cases, probably unaware it’s illegal. I-Team’s Lolita Lopez decided to look into what is and what isn’t being done to clear the air.

  3. @futurepharm1776 on December 21, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    I’m still going to smoke anyway



  4. @NATOSucks-lv4zj on December 21, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    A Quiznos banning weed is the epitome of irony…



  5. @shanechavarria9532 on December 21, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    Ima still do it



  6. @teamhunter730 on December 21, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    Also, like how you can still smoke cigarettes in your car and do a cancer-spreading speed run.



  7. @timbeckman1134 on December 21, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    I smoke my stogies anywhere I want



  8. @oldschoolboxing6048 on December 21, 2023 at 7:43 pm

    Deal with it.



  9. @stressfree.worldwide on December 21, 2023 at 7:43 pm

    Anywhere people can smoke cigarettes you can smoke weed… Period



  10. @ronaldraygun2639 on December 21, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    4 years later and still no rights for smokers



  11. @driftsdragsdrives4938 on December 21, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    This man smokes his stogey anywhere he wants, he doesn’t need a hiding place, like you

  12. @teamhunter730 on December 21, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    But producing breathable cancer is A-OK as well as selling it at any store.



  13. @Gearsturfs on December 21, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    Easy solution

    Create weed bars and allow a couple dispensaries in every city. Too many annoying counties ban them so everyone there either smells up the place or does it outside. Your choice



  14. @denisryan8757 on December 21, 2023 at 7:46 pm

    Glad NY made it legal to smoke weed wherever cigarettes are allowed.



  15. @TheSamuzas on December 21, 2023 at 7:47 pm

    I think people should have places to smoke weed. I hate how everyone thinks it’s okay to light up anywhere. Just be discreet and quit being a punk. I smoke cigs but if I see a kid around I make sure I move out of the way because I dont want to be a bad influence. Having smoking areas in town should fix that. Make them like cannabis bars and people come in can chill bring their own pot or buy from the clerk



  16. @bernardmiller5347 on December 21, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    People marijuana is still recreationally illegal in California and all the other legalized States under federal law.



  17. @audiolego on December 21, 2023 at 7:51 pm

    Las Vegas



  18. @joejones87 on December 21, 2023 at 7:51 pm

    Bruh from a business standpoint I would WANT people to come to my cafe or restaurant and smoke weed…you would make so much money… weed=munchies+food=revenue
    Like come on



  19. @teamhunter730 on December 21, 2023 at 7:51 pm

    Sure nonsmokers may not like weed or cigarette smell, but which one gives you cancer again?



  20. @Jets1 on December 21, 2023 at 7:55 pm

    Who cares



  21. @spongebob6956 on December 21, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    if marijuana smoking is legal than they should start legalizing crackheads… both are shitheads



  22. @nicksonadams6345 on December 21, 2023 at 7:58 pm

    I’m a license seller of top cali buds for medical and recreational use.+1(704)-981-1505 add me on snap https://www.snapchat.com/add/tyga_adams2020



  23. @j_sand118 on December 21, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    Can we get a weed cafe to smoke and lounge ??



  24. @rocknroll7065 on December 21, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    In Colorado ppl light up in public all the time and I have no problem with it as long as they aren’t driving, causing trouble or smoking near other people who may have respiratory problems. I was at a bus stop recently and a couple was smoking meth right there in plain view. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE !!!



  25. @TheOMAR617 on December 21, 2023 at 8:04 pm

    I don’t hide ,I smoke everywhere! Like ppl alway compare weed with alcohol 🤣😂 2 different things !!!!



  26. @SuperLeonardogames on December 21, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    So its legal but you can’t somoke anywhere



  27. @berihya on December 21, 2023 at 8:13 pm

    Theres a difference between marijuana and cigarette(s)/cigar(s). Marijuana can make you intoxicated like drinking alcohol.



  28. @silvrx-pz3ce on December 21, 2023 at 8:13 pm

    Why not set up smoking lounges where people can go in smoke.



  29. @Scorch1028 on December 21, 2023 at 8:14 pm

    If you’re going to smoke weed or cigarettes, why bother bathing, brushing your teeth, or wearing deodorant? You obviously don’t care how bad you smell. Many “hoarders” smoke weed because they can’t smell foul odors.



  30. @matthewweaverworks on December 21, 2023 at 8:14 pm

    Guess no one who likes cannabis is going to that shop anymore. What a poor business strategy.



  31. @fluffycampos5306 on December 21, 2023 at 8:15 pm

    On the other hand it’s okai to DIP and spit it on the floor step 🚶‍♂️on accident and when you change your shoes 👞 then try judging cigarettes 🚬or alcohol… but thc on the other other hand relaxes you ooh woow



  32. @cmendoza1094 on December 21, 2023 at 8:17 pm

    This the type of guy who won’t let someone use his bathroom and get mad when I relieve myself on the sidewalk.



  33. @mariogarcia8693 on December 21, 2023 at 8:18 pm

    Weed is safer than a peanut stop the hate on GOD’s Blessed Plant 0 deaths ever FREEDOM IS BEST STOP THE HATE be for it’s to late



  34. @ChipDip-wq8mi on December 21, 2023 at 8:20 pm

    But cigarettes are allowed?



  35. @user-cb6jw5ky1i on December 21, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    Well if it’s hard to tell if someone is vaping/smoking why does anybody give a rat’s!!!



  36. @armandorios6793 on December 21, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    Lit it don’t hide jt



  37. @stevenhicks1011 on December 21, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    Hear in America the land of the free you can go to a bar get drunk then get behind the wheel! But you can’t smoke pot outside?



  38. @youngceez7144 on December 21, 2023 at 8:26 pm

    But you can smoke a cig? And that smells worse



  39. @livelifewithkaykay5050 on December 21, 2023 at 8:27 pm

  42. @matthewweaverworks on December 21, 2023 at 8:28 pm

    There is no problem with smoking cannabis in public. Medical cannabis laws give you more freedom.



  43. @spongebob6956 on December 21, 2023 at 8:29 pm

    put these people in jail… allow prisoners to smoke their marijuana in jail

    Please pass legislation for a apace that legal cannabis card holders can go to use the cannabis with out the racist Nixon rule over ALL black people. The don’t hate other minorities this law was for blacks only… it a hate law in place by Nixon to convict as many blacks only as possible… look up the info it’s all over now.
