"I love the United States and wonder why they don't love me. I am very concerned with their obsession against their own citizens' marijuana use.
"People think that I am preppy because I am smart and love to go to school. Then when they find out I smoke pot, they treat me differently, like a criminal.
"As a non-drinker, I use cannabis to relax in social situations where I find it calms me, and I use it medically for pain. But my usage mainly is sporadic and usually at night when I know I won't be driving."
