You can tell this letter was written in anger because the statements she makes are total bullshit. For her to say that a person who smokes marijuana from time to time can't lead a productive lifestyle, is just the stereotypical kind of remark an ignorant person would make. To say that it's not okay for people to talk about smoking around her son... Yeah just shelter him a little longer why don't you. I think on her part it'd be better to educate him on the effects of recreational marijuana use, and let him make his own informed decision. But wait, she doesn't actually know shit about it, does she? Too much of anything is bad, but I know dozens of successful people who partake in smoking weed on occasion, who lead great lives. If you let a single thing consume you then it's no wonder you won't be successful. But damn, stupid fucking people man.
