If everyone that smoked it admitted to it.. 
If you smoke cannabis  recreationally or medicinally and don't take action to help promote legalization or even better Decriminalization they you don't deserve to smoke Cannabis. 
If you are not helping then you  ARE hurting.  Your worried what others will think, worried about losing your job, worried about losing your kids.  
FEAR is a powerful tool. 
All these thing we are all afraid of. If you believe are doing nothing wrong then why lie?
WHY? 
Why are we afraid to stand up for a PLANT, that eases pain and brings comfort and relaxation and (HELL YES) some fun and laughter from time to time. 
IF Alcohol is legal then we should be demanding Cannabis be made legal for all to use. 
No deaths from it EVER.  * YES I have to keep saying that - as it amazes me HOW many people I meet who just don't know that! 
How many deaths from Alcohol- you tell me.
ARE we not HUMANS - children of God ? All deserving a happy life?
We get one shot and I for one will not live my life in shame when I have nothing to be ashamed of.  Not for smoking, eating, vaporizing Cannabis. 
There are so many more dangerous things that are all legal - owning a boa constrictor, bungee jumping, ordering puffer fish at a restaurant, bath salts are legal to buy (the kind that Mess you up and eat your dog bath salts) so WHY? IT's ludicrous! 
There are enough of us - all around the world.  Many who do NOT use Cannabis but still admit & understand it's value and importance to medicine and  LIFE in general. 
So just admit it and move on there are far worse crimes in this world.  
Perhaps you will educate someone in the process- 
I'm not saying go to your kids school and announce at show and tell - I am saying, enough !  Cannabis is a safer option than alcohol and if YOU do use it for medicine be  LOUD and Proud! This is how change will happen. 

* If you are a parent - YOUR children must always come first - If you burn and then burnout - you are not a good parent. Kids need positive examples. If you smoke and sit on the sofa all day - you ARE NOT a setting a GOOD example. EDUCATE your children and  teaching by example is one of the best ways to help your children make the best choices for them when they are old enough to decide to try cannabis themselves.
Time to WAKE up! Time to Stand UP!!! 
Before we are shut up...  then, we will no one to blame but ourselves.

AMEN.. very well said Georgia.
We must start teaching the truth to our children. To keep being afraid to talk about pot to our children isn't helping anything or one. The youngsters understand "for adult use " way better than illegal. The book "IT'S JUST A PLANT ... A Childrens story about marijuana." is wonderful. Excellant way to start the talk with kids or uninformed adults. I understand being afraid with jail looming over head.. but if one is a responsible adult isn't it only right to end the war on drugs and give generations a better, war free country to live in. Education is the key and you are doing a fabulous job of spreading the word. thank you Baby Boomers unite and stand up for your rights, your childrens rights....
