SAYS MARIJUANA HAS HEALING PROPERTIES

This letter is in response to a recent letter denouncing legalization 
of marijuana. The letter showed what little research the author did 
on the earth's healing plant, Cannabis.

Marijuana is an autonomic nervous system equalizer and has the unique 
property of reducing pain/stress/disequilibrium while allowing the 
mind/body to be stimulated and allowing the self to explore 
unconscious thoughts. It is a fabulous way to, in the author's words 
"keep going day-to-day with a positive attitude." Its use has been 
dated to the beginning of humankind for its healing properties.

When marijuana is legalized people don't have to bow down to it. The 
author can go on day to day with his "positive attitude," scorning 
those who seek personal happiness organically regardless of a skewed 
legal system.
