If all the old-timers are to be believed, there was a time in Austin when the small population and laissez-faire attitude meant that public cannabis smoking was as common as Bird scooters are today. Unfortunately for us, we now live in an anti-cannabis, pro-two-wheeled-death-trap world. So we have to find quiet little pockets where we can enjoy our favorite hobby. So check out some of these discreet local places, but remember — smoke at your own risk.
Park at the gravel turnoff right before the bridge, and hike up the short but slightly steep trail to the overlook. Enjoy the views of the bridge and the boats cruising along the Colorado River. Like most places with a great view, this area will be busier around sunset, so plan accordingly. There are plenty of picnic tables here too, so you can get good and baked before you feast. This is a family-friendly park, so step among the trees and away from the playground and splash pad, you weirdo.
The top floor of the parking garage next to the South Lamar Alamo Drafthouse is uncovered.

The Tobacco-free Campus policy applies only to university owned, operated, leased, occupied, or controlled property. Events or activities scheduled elsewhere are bound by the policies or rules of the event coordinator or property manager. Organizers and attendees at public events, such as conferences, meetings, public lectures, social events, cultural events, and sporting events using university facilities are required to abide by the Tobacco-free Campus policy.

The university is committed to supporting all students and employees who wish to stop using tobacco products with cessation resources. Students, faculty, and staff choosing to continue using tobacco products may do so, but only on their own time and in areas not owned, operated, leased, occupied, or controlled by UT Austin.

And that is what happens with each of these new proposals. It was more about that. We were against it and I think my dad actually went down to City Council to voice his opinion against it.
