Stupid or awesome? I have the niggling suspicion it may be both.

So damn stupid it's unreal. What if one of the family members loses their job over a random drug test?

Exactly. If I found out anyone had given me drugs without my consent I'd be seriously, seriously pissed. If someone else wants to take them then fine, who am I to judge. But there are many reasons why I've never touched pot in my life, including the fact that it can trigger serious depression if you have a family history of it (as I do). And like you said, what if someone takes a drug test for a job or for sport or something?

Frequent cannabis use can trigger depression, a study suggests.
The prevalence of depression and anxiety increased with higher extents of cannabis use, but this pattern was clearest in female participants

I'm not entirely sure what you think is stupid about that. It's possible to have the sort of mind that has a tendency towards depression but not to experience full-blown crippling bouts of it until something really triggers it. Could cannabis be a trigger? Evidence (including anecdotal evidence I've heard) points towards yes, but I realise it's not certain and no one knows for sure as there are many factors involved. After growing up with a manic depressive dad, who has a very similar personality to me, and suffering mild, short bouts of anxiety and depression myself, do I want to take the risk? No way. If someone else decided to take that risk without my knowledge I'd be absolutely furious.

First - both unhealthy and a waste of money. A part of me wants to believe it's a troll.

About the second one - the missing word (his/her) is left as to not hint the gender of "the friend", I think. However, it's completely redundant since recognizing who made that postcard is nearly impossible.

I'm still reading the third one in Dumbledore's voice. His "lady if choice" doesn't change a thing. :p

The second one probably wasn't glued well enough and the him/her fell off while it was being mailed. That's happened quite a lot with postards, words will be missing.
