Subject: Marijuana as a physcopharmalogical drug

    I also agree with the author of the story.  Yes, I believe that 
smoking pot is a great stress releaser.  I have also experienced a 
tramatic childhood.  Though, I must admit, my experiences were not 
of physical abuse, but emotional abuse.  Years later now, I have 
become an emotionalless person.  Smoking marijuana helps me to 
get into touch with those feelings that I would rather forget.  It may 
be my imagination, but the memories seem to hurt a little less.  I can 
then look at my problems rationally.  It is tough.  I look my at my 
problems honestly and I don't pull punches with myself.  If 
someone were to ask me if I thought marijuana should be legalized?  
I would have to answer, yes.  There are so many benefits to 
marijuana.  From using it aa a paper product to medicinal purposes 
to the average person using it for self-healing.      Thank you for 
listening.
