As a smoker, I do it as far away from kids as possible because they can inhale it, not because I'm ashamed or something.

So you say "hey kids, I'm off to the garage to smoke a joint, keep an eye on the burgers"? And if you were a guest at an acquintance's place for a BBQ with kids around, you'd just ask out loud where you could go to do a pipe hoot?
I hang out with a pretty liberal crowd, and everyone keeps their pot smoking secret from their kids. It may become as socially-acceptable as drinking beer or wine, but not anytime soon.

I'm talking about people who aren't at all bashful about drinking in front of their kids. But pot is treated completely differently. Same with my co-workers - all enthusiastic social drinkers, but never a peep about pot. Maybe that'll change for younger generations, but I don't see it turning on a dime for the entire population of Canada.
