Please Mom, can you just understand?

Hey Mom,

Sorry you haven't heard from me in awhile, I'm up to my ears in homework and never seem to get out of work early enough for you to be awake. I know you think that drugs are bad and addictive, and that you aren't very opened minded about things but I hoped that I could share some interesting observations with you. Yeah yeah yeah, you always say all my college professors are liberals and that they want marijuana legalized, but this is from a different perspective. A cultural perspective, not factual perspective. Smoking Marijuana is NOT addictive no matter how much you think it is, it has been scientifically proven, and I have learned how users become users and why non users remain non users. I know you have tried it before, Dad told me once when we were out by the bon fire when I was in High School, but it may just have been that you just didn't know how to use it effectively. In order to 'be high' you have to learn how to smoke Marijuana correctly by inhaling enough and holding it in long enough. You also may be surprised, but you mentally have to learn how to be high. Your body has to know that it is high and if you have never been high before, how should your body know the difference? This is what is so difficult for new users to understand because CLEARLY if a drug was going to get you high you wouldn't have to know when you're high. Our bodies have to learn this different state from others who are familiar with it, and what gives us satisfaction is when we can pick out those differences. I know when you think 'pot smoker' some of the signs are hippies, teenagers who don't shower, and rappers but I think you would be surprised by the following Marijuana has with the working middle class, such as yourself. So, PLEASE, if you could try and just understand for once?

Love you.
