and I agree with PR, there really needs to be place where people can partake together. I've heard that really helps med patients to be able to medicate with others. The only place I've been able to do that was at the New Amsterdam Cafe in Vancouver and in the coffee shops in Amsterdam, and it was an awesome experience. sad i had to leave the US to experience that. but, I think Cali allows you smoke in the coops but I'm not sure, I haven't lived there in years.
