I agree with 99% of what you said, but in the case of weed, while I don't think it should be hidden per se, it has a known "secondhand" effect on those in close proximity. So perhaps it stands to reason it's just the usage that should be kept at a distance rather than the admission of use. Too bad so many are still terrified to admit their use where it's still illegal. May that change more rapidly in the future.

That’s true. For what it’s worth this happened at an outdoor beach party, and they were concerned with the impression it would make. Far away but visible would not have fit their concerns. But yes don’t discount the danger of second hand smoke!

That's not what I was colloquially aware of nor what [1] says.

The use of edibles, however, has no secondhand effect. In states where it's legal, candy, beverages, and so on are common.
