Now its the bold parts that are important.

Can you say the same of everyone else who smoked salvia or been drunk in public?

I highly doubt it. Therefore it be punishable if you do.

There is a difference between legalizing (or decriminalizing, which is just a de facto legalization. I'll simply use "legalization" to mean both terms) something and letting a crime go unpunished because no harm has been done. It does not have to be legal, but simply understood that if used responsibly, no punishment will happen.

Of course, if you are going to smoke pot outside, it would require the consent of everyone who walks by, or else a harm has occurred.
