Whatever the case, this I, Anonymous submitter is pissed, and fair enough:
Dear concert-going pothead,
Your secondhand weed smoke is not a divine gift that you bring forth from your lungs to bestow upon the lucky wretched sober souls within a 10 foot radius at a show. No, in fact, much like tobacco smoke, it’s a putrid, allergen-riddled contagion vector. Particularly one that smells like a mixture of skunk ass and Doritos when being purged from your lungs. (Have a mint.)
No one who isn’t already as high as you appreciates your complete disregard for the rights of others to breathe and not be in a position to pass a drug test in the coming weeks. As my eyes swell and water to the point that I am unable to see the band I’m there for, despite being a whopping 20 feet away from them, all I can wonder is why, if I have the decency to take two Benadryl before a show, despite the inconvenience to my mood and energy levels, you can’t have the same decency and hotbox your car before coming into the show, or perhaps smuggle in baked goods.
Because of you, pothead concertgoer, I will fight even harder now for the legalization of marijuana, not only because I don’t want to waste taxes arresting and prosecuting imbeciles like you, but because if it’s legal, they can ban weed smoke indoors as well, and perhaps then I wont have to risk full anaphylaxis to see some live music just because pot smokers like you are inconsiderate shitheads.
Now tobacco smoke, on the other hand….mmmm, delicious!
sweet, another convert for legalization!
sorry bro smoking up at concerts is too enjoyable
This person is a pussy.
NARC
Yer not from the 70’s or 80’s, are ya?
While I’m not a smoker (weed or otherwise); and I’m a big fan smoking bans in bars…there’s just something about the smell of weed, tobacco, and beer at concerts that I kind of dig.
I…really? And they leave out the people who smoke cigs at concerts (this is banned at every concert ever, and not enforced even a little bit)? Cig smoke is about 10x as noxious as pot smoke.
Pretty sure it is already “banned” (i.e. illegal) to smoke weed at shows, and since it’s not stopping people now, it’s not likely to stop them/us in the future. But I’m glad you’re into legalizing it!
On a related note, the ventilation quality at lot of music venues is not good.
I can handle the pot smoke, it’s the B.O. that really gets to me.
Buzzkill.
A failed pee test must meet a threshold that is allegedly above what second hand smoke can cause. Unless you are a chronic attender of concerts it shouldn’t be a problem. Even then, existing employees can normally re-test.
Dude, you live in Seattle. Pot is in the air, everywhere. One of the only things I like about this city. Sorry about your allergies and I hope you pass your test!
“My eyes were watering so bad I could hardly see Snoop, let alone Tha Dogg Pound. For shame!”
If you’re sick enough that you need to “pop two Benadryl” you’re sick enough that you can just stay home. That’s probably why your eyes were watering. You’re trying to pass off your own inconsiderate actions on the pothead.
Doritos go into your lungs? Yikes.
Wow, getting pissy because people are smoking pot at a concert? And, because you CHOSE to go to a concert (your first? how could you not know you would be putting youself smackdab into the flightpath of some weedsmoke??), it’s somehow the pot-smoker’s fault that you’ll now fail your pre-job pee-test??
That is some WORLD CLASS Passive-Aggression right there.
sorry but this guy’s right, pot smokers at concerts are mostly self-indulgent manchildren
I really, REALLY don’t think second-hand smoke, even that at a concert in Seattle, is enough to make you fail a drug test. I lived with someone who smoked a LOOOOOTTTTTT of pot (for “medicinal” reasons) and I don’t use it myself (just don’t like the feeling), but hung out in the same room while she smoked many times, and passed more than one drug test in the time I lived with her.
Dude needs to take a bong rip and chill the fuck out.

Take some zyrtech, princess.
While I agree with I Anonymous, this does come across as a tad passive-aggressive 🙂
Fuck this guy/gal.
“No one who isn’t already as high as you appreciates your complete disregard for the rights of others to breathe and not be in a position to pass a drug test in the coming weeks”
HOW ABOUT THIS DRUG TEST BS VIOLATING YOUR 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS?! You’re less upset with that than the best smelling smoke you can possibly find?
Second hand pot smoke can’t get you high unless you’re in a seriously hot-boxed room or car
Its true, I am a mostly self-indulgent manchild. so?
