Where are you seeing this?

I ride the green line daily and rarely see people smoking in the system, and the few times I have it’s been in stations and it’s cigarettes other than once (when it was weed) over the last two years.

I live and work on the green line and at this point only take the train occasionally, yet within a span of a few weeks I was on a car with a guy inhaling smoke from something that looked like a bong (but definitely not weed - no smell like that), and then I was on another car a separate time where I watched a drug deal of something in a little foil/paper packet (kind of like a gum wrapper folded up) and watched the guy snort it and also share a huge bottle of Bombay sapphire with a friend. Lived here 20 yrs and I don’t recall seeing behavior like that before. Oh yeah, I forgot — and in the latter incident, one of the guys involved pulled out a knife at one point!

I haven't seen anyone using a bong on the Metro, but I've seen plenty of drug transactions near Metro stations. Gallery Place especially.

Could be an electronic rig for smoking weed concentrates. Could be smoking meth from an oil burner

I don't know what's worse, the drugs or drinking straight fucking gin right from the bottle!

Yeah this is obviously not happening anywhere near as much as this person is saying

Just sharing my experience, legit have seen 10 incidents. Just moved back 2.5 weeks ago so not sure if this is the norm. Mostly on the green line and blue/orange. Once on the red.
