Completely for The Ban
I like this new ban. It clearly is going to be cutting down on the marijuana consumption in Philadelphia. Honestly, who is buying $.69 cigars at 7-Eleven to smoke for the taste or the joy of smoking a cigar? Plus, these people who are buying these cigars can still buy them, but now just in six packs. The tobacco and marijuana consumers in the area really have no right to be complaining. The marijuana users are doing something illegal and I just don’t believe people actually buy these cigars to smoke. As far as the business owners are concerned the wording of the ban should be revised. It is extremely vague and so the businesses are at risk, but the businesses should not be concerned with the basic idea of the ban. If they are making a large or even substantial amount of money off of illegal drug users than they are just as bad as a drug dealer. The ban is a great step for the reduction of marijuana use in the area, but the ban needs to be reviewed further. Anyone who stands against the ban in full opposition clearly is a marijuana user.
