yesterday, at about 11 am I followed a woman in her 30's or 40's down main street by Westview-she was smoking pot like it was a cigarette. She was dressed as though she was returning from a nursing job. As she got to the entrance of Westview, she stopped between the pillars to casually finish smoking her joint. REALLY people? on the sidewalk, broad daylight? OBVIOUSLY she felt there was NO concern of being apprehended or arrested for smoking an illegal substance 100 yards from a PUBLIC SCHOOL!!! Pubic Safety needs to step it up.
The obvious question is, why didn't u notify PSD, so they could have arrested the woman? A zero tolerance approach is needed!!
Wake me up when we are actually talking about real drugs. All this fuss over pot?
AMEN!
Yes, because what we need is more arrests of individual pot smokers.
Because maybe some of us don't want pot or any other illegal activity where we live or near our kids.
For someone who runs a reputable business on the island I have to say your comment was quite disturbing. AMEN to people smoking pot. Maybe we should have all the pot smokers hang out at Riverwalk. I hope Alfonso doesn't share your view.

What the hell? Business people are not allowed to criticize the current drug laws? Business people have to conform to a certain way of thinking (conveniently to yours)?
Yes, some of you. It seems, though, that especially here in NYC, and now with the mayor's support (see link provided by bakgwilo below) pot is more tolerated than at some other places. Now, would you like to see alcohol and nicotine kept as far as possible from you and your kids as well? As a logical extension of your attitude towards weed, I'd say that's a big yes, right?
In my eyes, pot is just as annoying as cigarettes or drunkards (I don't smoke, I don't use pot, and drink rarely) and I don't need government to make my surroundings tolerable. What makes you so scared of pot users? They are the least harmless compared to say, drunken people.
Learn to read, he wasn't criticizing the drug laws, he was in essence praising the use of illegal drug use. I don't give a crap about the debate over drug laws but as it stands the comment Sal made was saying AMEN to someone who said it was ok to go ahead and use pot in front of a residential building. Let them use it in front of Riverwalk instead, & guess what if someone calls the police and the respond & he thinks that's good for his business, then so be it.
As I said in your earlier reply, I don't care about whether it should be illegal or legal. It's illegal now whether you like it or not & I don't want any activity that is subject to police responding, arrests being made, quality of life being affected where I live. If you are ok what that, then have all of the pot heads hang out in front of where you live.
NYCIslander, with all due respect, you need to learn to read. Please do no get my comment twisted. You are making a broad assumption off of 1 word. I agree no one should be smoking anywhere outside especially around schools or your childern. It is an illegal substance. I was saying amen to YETAnotherRIer's comment and the fact that pot smoking in general isn't as big an issue as many people make of it. Our Gov. Cuomo as well as NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly are pushing for the decriminalization of possession of Marijuana in amounts less than 25 grams. It is already decriminalized or legal "medicinally" in 19 states. It's 2012 people, open your eyes and your minds. TO REPEAT for all of you who want to get your panties in a bunch about my AMEN comment, I am not condoning people smoking in our neighborhood or around your children, I was simply agreeing with YetAnotherRIer's comment that there are much bigger drugs to be concerned about like bath salts and people eating other people's faces off while high on them. Pot smokers just eat Twinkies.
Alfonso only drinks Cosmopolitans.
AMEN!
Lucky for you the city is pushing for not arresting people when found to be in possession of small amount. That should calm your worries a bit, right?
NYC Islander, he clearly was not stating that at all. There is no reason for you to run off and make this what it is clearly not. He only meant that Public Safety should focus more on other problems than one or two people smoking small amounts of weed.
Yes, Public Saftety should focus on all the rapes & murders that take place on the Island.
Pot smoking may not be a big deal but that doesn't mean I have to want it where I live. I couldn't care less whether you respect that or not. Yeah, lets have Public Safety go after the face eaters of the Island b/c that is a real problem here.
No but maybe they should focus on the break ins of the cars in the parking garage, the gangs that apparently hang out there late at night, the broken alcohol bottles all over the riverside, and the crazy people from the hospital walking around cursing and yelling mumbo-jumbo.
In your sarcasm you are proving a point that Public Safety is doing a great job, keeping us safe from such terrible crimes as rape and murder. That is what you are implying right? That there are no rapes or murders here? Just checking.
Oh and don't forget I am a resident of the island as well as a business owner here. No one wants whats best for the Island more than me.
Good, so let them smoke all the pot that they want in front of where you live and we will all be happy
Oh yes, because Roosevelt Island leads the City in rapes & murders
I'd love to know how many of the so called "pot smokers" are also responsible for those crimes as well...look, if you don't have an issue with people smoking pot in front of where you live, good for you. Live & be free
Instead of following her, getting a contact high off the second hand smoke, maybe you should have called Public Safety...
EXACTLY!! There are no rapes or murders here! You are proving that Public Safety IS doing a great job. It's difficult to talk to you if you are not going to be able to follow the conversation.
Once again you are not paying attention to anything I have said in response to you, making this very frustrating so i'll repeat it AGAIN. I do not think ANYONE should be smoking ANYWHERE. Not in front of where you live, not in front of where I live or do business. Pay attention please. It would make these discussions way more efficient.
But if people do choose to smoke pot, people shouldn't complain or waste Public Safety's time because it's just pot right? Wasn't that what your AMEN was for? Sounds to me like I'm paying attention & you want to have it both ways.
Oh yeah, it has nothing to do with demographics & other social/economic issues of who live here. I get it, if Public Safety starts cracking down on pot smoking there will be a sudden spike of crime on the Island. Public Safety is paid to enforce ALL illegal activity. I'm trying not to laugh at your suggestion that no major crimes happen here b/c of PSD
I've always thought he was a contemplative Mint Julep sort of fellow.
Just because somebody doesn't want something to happen doesn't mean that we want the police or the PSD go after them and arrest them. It is possible to separate those two things.
Does it matter if you want it or not? This is about should the PSD go after pot smokers, i.e. waste money and their time on something that is just not preventable (or doesn't make sense at all to prevent). Is the result worth the money, time, and effort?
Please, don't feed the trolls.
This is what PSD is paid for. You can choose not to call them if peole are smoking pot in front of where you live but I can & will. If some guy high on pot gets behind the wheel of a car and mows somebody down, I hope you will call PSD for that.
