Do you know someone who smokes weed/how frowned upon is it?

In America weed has slowly become more and more popular and began to be decriminalized in many states with some states like California even completely legalizing it. Weed has been around for a long time in America and was extremely frowned upon in the 60s-80s even though their were still many people who smoked it at the time. My dad even admitted many of his friends smoked at the time. Is that the same way it is in Russia? Are there still many people you know who smoke secretly even though the government has strict laws against it. When I traveled to England I met a guy their who had a joint on him even though it is outlawed there and he showed it to me even though we just had met. So it seems like their is still plenty of smokers in Europe despite the stricter laws. Is that the same way it is in Russia? Did you know kids growing up who did it?
