IN THE BIBLE

In the Bible I'm having zero tolerance for cannabis (marijuana)
prohibitionists and their terrorizing ignorance, so I was pleased to read
Stephen Heath's powerful letter ("Join L.E.A.P," Sept. 27, 2003) and would
like to add a biblical perspective.

The U.S. government's attempt to exterminate kaneh bosm (cannabis), which
is part of the holy anointing oil for all the generations (see Exodus 30),
is, biblically, not something to consider exterminating.

Bush and his servants' staunch attempt to exterminate what God gave and
said was good, on the first page of the Bible, is not similar to loving
your brother, but rather is a sign of hatred. The government's war on
cannabis is worse than ludicrous, it's Luciferous.

Caging humans for using or growing a plant is anti-Christian and
uncivilized, not just to me but to God who sent me. Don't believe it, just
ask Him yourself.
