However I love weed. It's a passion for me. I don't grow but I would love to. I love trying new strains just like a wine buff loves to taste wine. I don't partake during the week or if I have important stuff to do at the weekend. I am no more dangerous to myself or others than any other normal person.

So what is the problem? The problem is that I can't be honest about my life. I have to sneak about. I have to worry about what would happen if the company found out. This is in a work environment where drinking to excess is considered healthy and natural.

I would love to go out on the weekend to a cannabis club/cafe. I don't mind going to the pub but after 2 pints I've had enough and want a smoke. Do that in a pub and things can get serious. Most pubs have a "pubs against drugs" sign up - which is laughable.

There are millions of us. Normal people who want to engage normally with society.
Okay, that is a direct and clear answer to my question. While I had no great grief with Gelcube's five points, I had pretty much acknowledged them as "givens" without the need of restatement. Your response goes to the heart of my question. Thanks.
