Actually I live in B.C., and visit Vancouver often, and I've smoked countless joints in public there as well as my friends, we never make an effort to hide it. I've never gotten in trouble for it, we've even walked by cops and had no reaction. Once my sisters husband was sitting in Stanley park and started smoking a huge doob. By the time a large cloud had accumulated around him he realized a police cruiser was beside him about 40 feet away. The cop just smiled, gave him a little wave, and moved on. They have tonnes of heroin, meth, and crackheads to deal with as is, and know it's not the potheads causing the trouble. I've also seen some interviews with cops, and it's pretty much unanimous that potheads "aren't hurting anyone" and aren't the ones making their lives difficult.
