PUT 'EM ALL IN THE POT

As a Colorado Christian, I enjoyed the biblical implications of Bob
Niewoehner's letter ["A Miracle Drug
(http://www.mountainx.com/opinion/2006/0719letters.php)," July 19].
In fact, Bible thumpers who support caging humans for using the plant
cannabis are stumbling, since God indicated He created all the
seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good on literally the very
first page of the Bible (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).

Further, cannabis is thought to be the tree of life, with the very
last page of the Bible pointing out the leaves of the tree of life
are for the healing of the nations. The entire Bible opposes cannabis
prohibition.

By the way, James P. Anderson's assertion ["Gone To Pot
(http://www.mountainx.com/opinion/2006/0719letters.php)," July 19]
that "marijuana kills brain cells" has been scientifically and
historically discredited.
