US CA: PUB LTE: Responsible Pot Smokers Exist

Appeal-Democrat, 20 Oct 2010 – I am a marijuana smoker. I have several different back problems. I also suffer from insomnia. I use marijuana as a medicine. This medicine helps me move easier during the day. It lightens my mood if I am upset; it helps calm my nerves. Before I started smoking I used to have to take six Vicodin a day, with ibuprofen. Now there are days where I do not have to take anything thanks to medical marijuana. I believe if a person is a responsible smoker they will not be smoking during their work breaks or get stoned and go teach. That would be wrong. I believe if they are in the comfort of their own home they should be able to smoke. It would be just like having a nice glass of wine or a beer after work.
