Note: It only seems to apply to the “Act of taking the drugs” while “On or Using” public transit.
Not being on drugs and using said transit.

No. There are smoke shops all over now. They are only outnumbered by drive-up to-go coffee outlets. My favorite shop is called "Human Bean". Note: I cannot abide coffee, and I have never smoked anything.
They could solve a lot of problems by using the words, “in public.”
