Raphael says his fiancée doesn’t mind he uses cannabis, but that he would stop if they had children.



Have you ever thought about stopping using it (cannabis) or, or not really?
 
No, not really crossed my mind, I think whenever I, just like everything else whenever I get bored of it, or whenever I don’t want to do it I’ll stop it, but other than that I don’t see the reason. I mean if you were to have children and stuff like that obviously I would, we could stopping it then, definitely stop it. Yeah definitely but, not just now I don’t.
 
Does your fiancée smoke cannabis?
 
She smokes cigarettes, she doesn’t smoke Cannabis.
 
Oh she doesn’t smoke, what are her views on Cannabis?
I think she’s got the same as me I don’t think she, I don’t think she’s overly bothered about it really, I don’t think she, she’s not worried about it or anything like that she’s not worried about me smoking it or anything like that.
