Just so you know, and since you have made some statements publically here, let me clarify. I do not advocate marijuana smoking to young people or to anyone for that matter, though I do understand there are medicinal purposes where it does seem to be useful and it can also be quite relaxing for as well. I do not encourage my children to smoke marijuana, and I don't believe they do though it wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't tried it once or twice. In spite of that, they know my position and agree with it. They also do not smoke, nor do they drink, though some of the older ones have the occasional wine or beer. Oh, I take that back, my oldest son smokes cigars, against my protest. But, hey, he's 28, what can I say? You see, Lydia, I'm actually closer to your belief system then you realize. I actually think you are saying these unkind things for personal reasons, but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I hope my position is clear now. I just like to see all sides of the prism, if you can understand that.
