As it is on the books, the current law allows people to consume methamphetamine in public. I felt like we needed to create a classification for which drugs could be used in public/on public transit, so I introduced this.

I see no reason to allow public marijuana smoking where tobacco smoking is generally banned.  Smoke, regardless of the substance, is an irritant to some people, like asthmatics.

Good catch. I'll declare the amendment friendly, (EDIT: and I would highly recommend changing the wording to "using" or "consuming" instead of smoking for obvious reasons.)

I'm a bit hesitant about Section 2-3 as well, as psylocibin mushrooms and lysergic acid diethylamide alter the mind in significant enough of a capacity to potentially lead to serious public safety risks.

@Griffin: Do you have an amendment regarding that? I'm all ears to any amendments.

@cinyc: Actually, I'd probably change the wording in your amendment to "using" or "consuming" instead of smoking because legal issues. Can't smoke LSD or mushrooms.

By a vote of 3-0-2, the bill has passed, and will be sent to the governor for his signature or veto.
