THANK GOD FOR POT

Thank you for the story, "Canada embraces medical pot," published Aug. 7.

I try not to push my Christian walk with God, but I would like to add our
single common denominator and a very important connection to this issue.
God our Father gave us cannabis for food and medicine. The only biblical
restriction placed on cannabis, (also known as kaneh bosm before the King
James Version), is that we accept it with thanksgiving.

Accept cannabis for what it is as described on the very first page of the
Bible (Genesis 1:11-12; 29-30). If God gave us cannabis, who gives us
cannabis prohibition?

Thank God for cannabis. To do otherwise is to stumble on the first page of
the Bible. Christians take heed! We Christians do not have to smoke
cannabis but we would do well to disassociate ourselves from those who
would cage a human, including Christians, for using cannabis.
