BIBLE PROVES GOD GAVE DRUG PLANTS FOR MAN'S USE

Contrary to Cheryl Bicknase's puritanical views God did create opium,
cocaine, marijuana and many other drug plants for man's use. The Bible says
so (Genesis, 1: 29) -- "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its
fruit; you shall have them for food."

Ms. Bicknase cannot cite a single scripture supporting drug prohibition.
Indeed, condemning the drug plants God has made is considered to be
blasphemy by the Bible. (Leviticus 24: 16) Nowhere in the Old or New
Testament is a ban on drug use to be found because drugs are gifts from God.
