I have a buddy who went to a convention in Seattle right around the time they legalized it. Said you could smell it as soon as you walked outside; the entire city smelled like pot.
That’s weird. By the time weed was recreationally legalized in Seattle weed being acceptable was old news, and people had been smoking without worry for a decade.
My guess is a lot of people smoking a bowl over it being actually on the books as legal now, rather than they're only just now comfortable smoking.
I think that plus tons of people from out of state being there for the convention. My friend flew in from the east coast, for example. So I bet there were tons of people there who were taking advantage of the new legislation.
