But we (1) already have bars that have this problem far worse and (2) why would we require being completely car free to have such a place? The vast majority of people already don’t drink and drive. Why should they all be held back because of small number of assholes?
I’d rather see impaired driving harshly punished and watched for. Every single person who drives impaired once should go to jail and never, ever drive again. And crack down on it hard. It’s a far better use of police time than ticketing people going 10 over. Maybe even make bars have a security guard whose sole job is to prevent impaired driving.
But can you really have a designated driver in a weed bar if you get unintentionally high from the smoke in the air? It’s not like people are smoking alcohol. If the person next to you is drinking you won’t get drunk from them, but if the person next to you is vaping thick clouds, won’t you unintentionally get some of the effects?
I think it is completely unacceptable to have public places where people go to get intoxicated in a society that practically requires cars.
It should be required that your uber/lyft, or bus/train ticket is prepaid in order to receive any product in these establishments.
This sounds like a great idea in a city center where cars are banned.

I forget who this was, but some comedian pointed out the utter absurdity of bars with parking lots.
Designated drivers literally exist, though?

Serious question.
No, you can’t.
But we were discussing parking lots for bars, not parking lots for cannabis lounges.
