Yes, I agree. Just because someone has an uninformed opinion doesn't mean you have to bend over backwards to meet their, likely, stupid expectations. Who cares what people think? Most of them are morons anyways and the others would sooner stab you in the back to get ahead than look at you. I say, VALUE the OPINIONS of those you RESPECT. I respect my father but he doesn't dig weed and that's ok, it's still his opinion to have and while I value it, I don't agree with it so I toke on. Ya that shit does kind of bug me.. but it's your buddys life and if that's the way he wants to live it then that's his choice. He'd be less restricted in life if he stopped hanging off peoples opinions of him though.
