It's true, no cannabis. For one, even though it's legal in state, it's an evictable offense in my apartment. But that doesn't bother me, because I don't partake, anyway. It's just a negative association thing for me: my dad is one of the 1% of people who, when I was a teenager, would get violent on pot. He didn't do that when I was really young, so it might be that it just interacted weird with the ten prescription meds he was on at the time, but otherwise it indicates underlying psychosis, which can kick in later in life (and runs in the family). So, smelling others smoking it, that's where the smell takes my mind, to those memories. Edibles might be an option, but I've kind of always been afraid I would react like he did, so I just never tried it. I don't drink either, for the same reason.
