This is a very well written letter. I am also a religious smoker. If my kid wrote a letter like this (don't have any yet but still) I would listen to them. That being said, I don't know your parents, so I can't say if they will listen to you. Many parents, especially religious ones, have been told from generation to generation that "marijuana and drugs are bad." This whole concept is from the prohibition of marijuana days in the 30s, but that is another topic. If your parents love and care about you and can see that marijuana isn't a harmful thing in your life, but actually a very positive thing, in time they may accept it. Expect them to be angry with you at first, it is a natural reaction, but if they have questions make sure to answer them truthfully so they can better understand you.

My only question to you is why not talk to your parents rather than write them a letter? I know it can be very nerve racking to talk to your parents about touchy issues like depression, drugs, etc. But it will make you a much closer family if you can sit down at a table and have a respectful discussion about your past feelings, and how you chose to deal with them.

Keep on toking and stay in school!
