cellar stories for used and twenty stories for new/contemporary!

Cellar Stories and Paper Nautilus

I know I'll never see it, but I wish it was illegal to smoke in your car in public. I hate being behind a car with a smoker at a stop light in the summer.

I think smoking anything should be banned in parks and such. You are making me participate because it's smoke, it goes everywhere. Edibles? Brownies? Fine, enjoy. Have a literal weed picnic. But get the smoke out of my face.

I am running for City Council and I would not support this ordinance without hearing about the following… does second hand smoke outside endanger others? How many nuisance come into city council from the smell of weed? I’m assuming it’s the smell that bothers people more than the smoke? What is the enforcement mechanism? I’m sort of over laws without enforcement that semi-moralize an activity but then accomplish little… For people who have traveled to other parts of the world where things like public container laws are not a thing, there is not rampant public drunkenness. Quite the opposite. Also— when it comes to issues of drug policy, government should consult people with lived experience: people in recovery from substance use and/or active consumers— somehow I doubt the City explored their opinion on this, but I would love to be wrong…

Not a bookstore, but the Providence Athenaeum is not just one of the best library spaces in Providence, it's one of the best spaces I've been to in the country.

I’m all for all of it being banned in public outdoor spaces like parks. I hate smelling either of them when I want “fresh air.” Go get high somewhere else.

I don’t trust 75% of Rhode Islanders axe throwing capabilities.

Do you like escape rooms Y/N?

I’ll just smoke outside of a restaurant then

I’m indifferent because people will do what they want Irregardless of an ordinance. I personally can’t stand the smell of cigarettes and most weed. I do not understand the appeal of skunk weed.

Would you accept roommates?

If cigarettes are allowed, so should weed. The stigma around weed won’t go away if it keeps being treated worse than cigarettes

Love them both. A friend is into vinyl, I am into books. We visited symposium and were both happy.

I’m 100% with you on that.

Personally I'm more or less fine with if cigarettes are allowed so is weed. Not that it matters what my opinion is

I’m on the fence. On one hand, I completely agree with you…. On the other hand, this past summer ii was in NYC, and the law there is weed is allowed anywhere cigarettes are allowed… it felt amazing to smoke a joint in Central Park.

Sounds like she’d love it!

I'm asthmatic and think there should be some kind of mechanism to protect everyone's use of a public space. In sufficiently large parks, having a designated area (e.g, maybe move a few picnic tables and designate them as a cannabis smoking area) would suffice to protect everyone's use of the space.

Eh, even though I'm 100% down with full legalization I'm ok with this, cigarettes and such are banned in places where it bothers others and especially around kids and this isn't different.

I second Twenty Stories, and KowKow is right across the street so that’s an inevitable stop. I love Symposium as well because it has a huge bookstore feel due to its unique selection of both new & used finds. It’s always pretty quiet and I’d say the comfiest I’ve been to in prov, if that’s what your wife is looking for

Downtown Providence:

Cellar Stories for used books, magazines, ephemera. Could spend hours in here.

Symposium for new and used.

East Side:

Books on the Square is good for new. I think they also have some used books.

Paper Nautilus for used books.

Twenty Stories for new contemporary books. Get a book then go next door to Aleppo Sweets.

There's one in foxwoods
