NO JUSTIFICATION FOR POT

In reference to Mr. White's letter of Feb. 2, wherein he is seeking to
prove that God approves the use of marijuana because he made seed of
all plants (Gen. 1:11-12); and it was good. His logic seems to
indicate that he has been puffing too much "weed," or "grass" as he
would put it.

In the first place I find no mention of marijuana in Gen. 1:11-12.
"Marijuana" is "prepared from cannabis, the hemp weed." This plant is
used to make rope and other products. God also made the seed of
belladonna, a plant with beautiful flowers, but if ingested is
poisonous and will result in death. He made the seed of the hemlock
plant, which is a poisonous plant of the carrot family. God made the
seed of the opium poppy, which produces opium from the juice of the
unripe seed capsules. Morphine is also produced from this plant. All
of these plants serve a purpose if used right, but if used wrongly are
harmful.

God also made seed corn, rye and barley. These are all good food
products when processed for food, but when used to produce whiskey,
beer, etc. can be harmful, but only because man has changed its
intended use.

No, Mr. White I don't think you can find justification for marijuana
(Maryjane) in Gen. 1:11-12.
