I was merely pointing out the difference between them and bars, and the effect on myself and my life.   Whether I 'like' or don't like them is irrelevant.  I make no judgements about anyone's choice of 'poison'; I myself like wine, a nice dry red.  Pot lounges have every right to exist, but they are different from bars.  If I want to socialize with friends at a bar, I don't have to drink just because they are drinking.  But at a 'pot lounge' it is impossible not to partake, so I must exclude myself, and that impacts the friendship.  That brings up another point: how does a group appoint a 'designated non-smoker' at a pot lounge?
