CANNABIS LAWS CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF GOD
"IF THE founding fathers were creationists then they believed their
God made all living things. Therefore, whether or not one believes in
God, the Narcotics Control Act, and the Food and Drug Act are in
conflict because they conflict with these substances (i.e. cannabis)
to exist, and are therefore, by their definition, in conflict with the
'will of God' " - Rev. Ian Hunter.
` Raging war against a plant seems futile considering that as long as
there is air and sunshine it will continue to grow. Over six million
people's lives have been affected by the criminalization of cannabis.
The laws have to change because most of these people are coming of age
and will be in important positions in law enforcement, corrections,
politics and business. Prohibition did not work with alcohol!

(Considering the problems alcohol causes in society, that's not a
great comparison to make.)
