CANNABIS A GOD-GIVEN PLANT

As a Christian, I strongly disagree with the assertion, "not
arresting people for drug possession is sending the wrong message"
(Marijuana Possession Still Means Jail Time, Jan. 7, 2008). Cannabis
(kaneh bosm / marijuana) isn't a drug but rather a relatively safe
God-given plant.

One reason to stop caging responsible adults for using cannabis that
doesn't get mentioned is because it is Biblically correct since
Christ indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they
are all good, on literally the very first page. The only Biblical
restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with
thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5).

Truth is, it sends the wrong message when government cages humans for
using what God says is good.
