Banning Public Marijuana Smoking - more dangerous than that cake walk second hand cigarette?

Yes it is Organic, and it could be Deadly!

Ever since various States started legalizing marijuana for recreation purpose, coupled with the scientific fact that marijuana is more natural with less chemicals than cigarettes, there is a serious misconception that public smoking of marijuana is actually safe.  This gives rise to many smokers crowding around public places (building hallways. elevators) and public  roads/highways(while driving?!) - especially public parks,  doing their daily smoke, totally oblivious to the kids and elderly around them inhaling the second hand smoke.

So is that natural green mash safe for public inhale?

According to the article

Study: Negative Effects of Marijuana Smoke Linger Longer Than Tobacco Smoke

https://www.usnews.com/news/health-care-news/articles/2018-03-20/study-marijuana-smoke-3-times-worse-for-you-than-tobacco-smoke

Extract of article-
<  inhale of second hand marijuana smoke is three times more harmful than exposure to tobacco smoke, Matthew Springer, a professor at University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, studied the effects of smoke on rats and found exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke makes it harder for arteries to expand and allow a healthy flow of blood.


People think cannabis is fine because it's 'natural,'" Springer told NPR. "I hear this a lot. I don't know what it means."
“We found that both kinds of smoke had the same effect on blood vessels and that marijuana smoke's effects lasted at least three times as long as tobacco smoke's effects,” Springer explained to U.S. News in an email.
He said tightly controlled marijuana, which has been tested, has less chemicals than cigarettes. However, any smoke is bad for the lungs, heart and blood vessels.
Plenty of research has been done on the effects of secondhand tobacco smoke, but little is known about long-term effects of secondhand marijuana smoke, making Springer worry the lack of research makes people think secondhand marijuana smoke is OK.
"We in the public health community have been telling them for decades to avoid inhaling secondhand smoke from tobacco," Springer told NPR. "We have not been telling them to avoid inhaling secondhand smoke from marijuana, and that's not because it's not bad for you – it's because we just haven't known. The experiments haven't been done."   >
End of Extract.

Second hand marijuana smoke inhale could  cause fainting, vomiting, heart attack/strokes, especially  for for those with weak health, also the elderly/children, and could cause  car accidents due to hallucination, fainting.

Other well know problems of smoking marijuana include the below.
One should not rule out the same dangerous effects of second hand marijuana smoke  until we know for sure scientifically.
  • Severe anxiety, including fear that one is being watched or followed (paranoia)
  • Very strange behavior, seeing, hearing or smelling things that aren’t there, not being able to tell imagination from reality (psychosis)
  • Panic
  • Hallucinations
  • Loss of sense of personal identity
  • Lowered reaction time - bad for driving.
  • Increased heart rate (risk of heart attack)
  • Increased risk of stroke
  • Problems with coordination (impairing safe driving)
So yes, to protect the safety of the innocent,  we demand banning public smoking of marijuana- including all automobile roads, with severe penalties on the offenders.

Second hand marijuana is NO cake walk cigarette.
