BIBLE JUSTIFIES POT LEGALIZATION

When considering ending cannabis prohibition ("Should marijuana laws
go up in smoke?" March 31, 2005 ), it is also important to know where
the Bible stands on the cannabis issue because of the brainwashing
effects of people saying cannabis is evil. It is Biblically correct to
re-legalize cannabis ( Kaneh Bosm, before the King James Bible ).

It's no accident that the Bible indicates God created all the
seed-bearing plants and said they were all good, on literally the very
first page in Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30.

The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that we use it
with thanksgiving -- see Timothy 4:1-5, where it even describes who
will promote its prohibition as those who have fallen away from the
faith.

The Federal government would like citizens to think cannabis is a
chemical weapon of mass destruction; in reality, the table of the Lord
is not defiled -- see Malachi 1:6-14, subtitled ¨Sin of the Priests" (
New American Standard Bible ).

Biblically, it is time to stop caging humans for using what is good.
