In response to the above article recently, I received thought-provoking emails from several readers.

It seems that many of the readers of my column are intelligent people, and the contents of the emails are pretty "readable" (they are "good!").

They have received a balanced evaluation of the merits and demerits of marijuana and methamphetamine and even suggested alternative (legal) methods.

However, if I could sum up the content of the emails I received as simply as I could, it would be 'don't do it.

They are quite right.

I have no access to marijuana or methamphetamine, so don't worry.

But when such a contact comes, I will be the first to let you know here on this blog.

I don't drink, smoke, or do marijuana, but I take a stabilizer (Selsyn) as my doctor prescribes.

Naturally, taking this stabilizer is legal and not addictive; however,

"Drug dependence"

I can't say that such feelings are 'absent.'

That's how I feel.
