Does Colorado have a law allowing people to refuse to serve someone for hygiene reasons similar to the proposed Arizona law to allow people to refuse to server someone for religious reasons? If not, is this barber setting himself up for a lawsuit?
Usually scent-free workplace policies are ushered in under the pretense of workplace health and safety.
The same argument cannot be made for self-imposed religious reasons.
Youâre not allowed to discriminate against people based on a limited number of protected categories, like race, religion, sex, or sexual preference. Being stinky is not a protected category.

I think thereâs a huge gap between something that can be remedied with a shower and some toothpaste, versus something that is part of a personâs identity. Take that shower and try again, yo. Personally, Iâd rather not smell a person unless Iâm getting frisky with them.

You have my sympathy; I get near-instant headaches from certain strong perfumes. If Iâm trapped in an enclosed space with it, Iâll rapidly progress to crippling migraine. So I always smell elevators and taxis before getting in. Strangely enough, most colognes donât do this to me, itâs almost exclusively womenâs perfumes.

What would that have to do with children, though?
Katanga: Jones is dead. I killed him. He was of no use to us. This girl, however, has certain value where weâre headed. Sheâll bring a very fine price. Herr Colonel - that cargo youâve taken - if itâs your goal, go in peace with it, but leave us the girl. It will reduce our loss on the strip.

I donât care if someone wants to smoke up, but have the grace to admit that weed reeks.
Iâm pretty sure that statements like that are 100% subjective.

It has an incredibly powerful aroma then, which is immediately noticable and recognizable to most, having a similar effect to someone bathing in AXE bodyspray.
Feel free to strawman some more.

Its funny that the same people that I know it real life that constantly call it skunk, canât seem to understand that it smells as strong as it does or know when theyâve âdiscretelyâ smoked it at lunch at work.

As someone who smokes upâŚpretty much wherever the fuck I want, I can tell you this is not true. Some people can. âMostâ cannot. PS: I donât smoke in places you canât smoke cigarettes, with the only exception being at gigs where you arenât able to re-enter once youâre in. I also donât smoke like an asshole (i.e. I blow smoke up or away from people)
Edit: Iâd also like to point out that Iâve talked to cops, been to police stations to report things and been stopped and breath tested by cops within minutes of punching bongs and they had NFI. These are the people tasked with identifying and busting people for smoking, so youâll excuse me for ignoring all these anecdotes in favour of my own.
FTA According to a local attorney, Corral does have the right to refuse service to someone who has been smoking pot as long as itâs not a Constitutional issue involving a personâs race, religion or gender.
Solution: Claim youâre a Rasta.

Thanks for fixing that, but I used pot smokers in order to emphasize and highlight the barberâs extremely narrow specificity of the issue (the smell of marijuana vs. his obvious omission of things like standard cigarettes/pipes/cigars/other smoked substances - or even the staleness of a substance that has settled in oneâs clothing).
I currently donât know many stoners who donât bathe or change their clothes often either, but I have known a few in my time (and just to be clear, I donât believe marijuana had anything to do with their lax hygiene, but the stale smell of it didnât help matters much).
BTW, it seems to me you might have mistaken me for âthe enemyâ. I have been smoking for almost three decades, and donât think I have said anything that is patently anti-marijuana.

Heh⌠yeah, thereâs nothing I can stand less than perpetuation of stereotypes which is what I thought you were doing. I stand corrected 
Trust me, if I thought you were âthe enemyâ my comment would have been overflowing with trolly snark designed purely to annoy.

âNO coming into my shop smelling like a legal substance! There are kids here and we donât want them smelling legal substances!â
what? unless he is right next door to a dispensary how big of an issue could this really be? I can picture someone trimming all day smelling strongly but the average joe smoker, no way, they wouldnât smell noticeably. I wonder what percentage of Coloradan smoke up these days anyway?
Good eye! That makes this story even funnier.
To make a counter point, they do sit really still for long periods of time and the vending machine has never been emptier.
Shouldnât these types of article be tagged BongBong 
Bong is past tense of Boing right?
