BOO IS DEVINE

Nearly every problem associated with the relatively safe plant
cannabis (kaneh bosm, marijuana) is actually a consequence of
cannabis prohibition, persecution and extermination ("This Bud's For
Who?" Nov. 24). Responsible citizens should be allowed to use
cannabis recreationally and medically with out being confronted by government.

Another reason to re-legalize cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is
because it is Biblically correct since God, The Ecologician,
indicates He created all the seed bearing plants saying they are all
good, on literally the very first page (see Genesis 1:11-12 and
29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is to accept
it with thankfulness (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

And medically, "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his
brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love
of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). Further, many people know
cannabis is the tree of life, and the very last page of the Bible
indicates the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the
nations (see Revelation 22).

Exactly what kind of government cages its citizens for using what God
says is good?
