ShouldBFishinVegas changed my mind re: legal weed

City's clean as a whistle. Even the large square, where just a couple hours before it'd been full of flea market vendors.
I don't think it's the weed any more than our "gun crime" is the fault of the guns.
That's funny. My daughter visited Amsterdam while studying abroad and said near the city center all she smelled was weed. Even took a picture of a street side that meant Booze == Bad, Smoking Weed == OK.
She did say that once she got away from the city center that it wasn't quite so bad.
ETA: The pictures I saw looked like the streets were pretty clean though.

It's an acquired smell
And one I will not willingly tolerate. I won't stay where people are smoking tobacco, either--I hate the smell. I guess that means I won't be going to Las Vegas any more.

The bums passed out and trash, it's been steadily growing since 2000.
I think the panhandling issue has taken off with the federal judges ruling the solicitation is protected free speech. All of the solicitation codes have been tossed out and now the homeless are free to do their worst. That is the problem we now have here in Salt Lake anyway. Not sure it has anything to do with legal stink weed.
Not up here. Just happened in the last 3-4 years.
