    Pot smokers are scary

    I went to Berkeley and everybody smoked a little pot. But that was some time ago and I haven't really thought about pot much since. It seems, though from reading these letters, that people who kept with the pot smoking got really addicted and have come to see pot as the center piece of their lives, not as something to do on a lark. They also seem to have lost all proportionality equating the kid criticizing his mother with an attempt to take away their own pot, possibly confusing the concept of taking away mother's pot with mother taking away my pot. I'm sure it's too late for mom or most of these posters to stop using pot. I guess I just wasn't aware how strong the addiction was or that it lasted your entire lifetime.
