MANAGE YOUR INTAKE

RE: DUANE Treacy's Oct. 14 letter on medicinal marijuana, listing his
observations on the effects of his smoking marijuana. It seems that Treacy
got a few benefits from smoking marijuana, but like any other drug such as
liquor, prescription drugs, smoking or even hard drugs, you have to be
aware of the dosage needed in order to attain the effect for which you are
looking.

Duane, if smoking marijuana causes you to become antisocial, depressed and
lethargic (just to list a few of the feelings that you seem to get from
smoking marijuana), I'd advise you to talk with someone who has smoked
marijuana for a number of years, in order for you to learn how to manage
your intake and maybe help you to discern the difference in potencies. I
hope this advice helps you to use this benign herb in a more responsible way.
