To put it into perspective: Cinemas in Japan are chill, it’s not like American or “Western” cinemas where people shout aloud at hyped scenes or laugh so loud where you can’t even hear what the dialog is or talk amongst themselves causing distractions (or yet, using their phone at max brightness that becomes distracting towards other viewers).
Instead: it’s more on immersing to a movie at your own desire, everyone for the most part is dead silent because they know that they are inside a cinema as courtesy is considered, while I’ve heard that is starting or has already started to decline in the US (& Western nations) since the experience of being in a theater isn’t the same as it used to be.
They used to go to the mall but those died. Just be glad those kids have a safe place to hang out; I was smoking weed in the park at that age.
Oh, I’m fine with it. I gave up on the big name theaters a while back. I just wanted to make sure my kids weren’t doing anything there than management was against. I’m actually glad they have a place to hangout with their friends.
I don’t see what’s wrong with smoking weed in the park, assuming the park is big enough that you can find a secluded area. As long as others don’t have to breathe in your smoke, I see no issue with that.
The bigger issue is that you were 14/15. The human brain doesn’t stop developing until 25. Smoking weed has been known to stunt growth if consumed before then. One of the biggest issue you can cause yourself is memory problems.
So I guess what I’m saying is, you should go check the stove/oven/fireplace/and any pets you have. Make sure none of those things are on fire. I know, you forgot to turn something off. Let’s double check before you burn yourself alive.
