I have always tried to be someone that was not "in your face" on anything. If its at all a family friendly area, I have tried to respect that. Same way with music. I hate when someone is playing something I dislike at crazy high levels and try to consider that if I am playing music.
I think for cannabis users who want mainstream acceptance, we still have to be sensitive to how others might still perceive it in a negative light and make an attempt and trying to use it responsibly and respectfully. We have neighbors with several young kids and they are outside in the summer alot. Even though its legal here...I don't want to be standing out back puffing away blatantly all the time in their kids presence. I understand that the family might have a different outlook on it, and I want to respect their views on it, much the way I want them to accept and respect my right to do it. I know they know I medicate, but I want them to be able to have that discussion with their kids about it at THEIR choosing, not when I thrust it in their faces over and over ("Daddy, whats that guy doing over there? It always smells funny") and force them to have the talk with them.
The world did a great job in the smear job against cannabis. The tides are turning finally and its gaining acceptance. I feel the best way to speed the turning is by being respectful and responsible in our use. Just not a fan of anything "in your face" cause I know I don't like shit I don't care for being shoved down my face....be it overly loud music, obnoxious alcohol use, obnoxious and or rude people, political shit, or any other number of things that people can be over the top and in your face.
