> But I just find it baffling how acceptable it is to see someone publicly smoking weed at 7am on a weekday.
This isn't even socially accepted among stoners who smoke every day once you're old enough to have a job. Not sure who you are hanging out with but people who are high all day every day are one of two things:
1 addicts, and considered so even by stoners, who have crazy tolerance and like alcoholics can function under the influence better than non addicts
or 2 they have a terrible painful disease like ankylosing spondylitis and the only effect of the cannabis is a slight reduction in pain because when your spine is pinched you don't get as much of the euphoria and whatnot from pot

Hope that clears it up
