PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE MARIJUANA

Thank you for your contribution "Drug of Choice" (Mobtown Beat, June
25) to help bring needed credible drug-law reform. Any drug-law reform
must include cannabis and the need to put cannabis into the correct
drug schedule, since it is not a substance with no medical value.
Polls show 40 percent of Americans support cannabis (marijuana)
legalization and 70-plus percent support decriminalization, and that
number is growing because of education.

Biblically, medically, and recreationally, many citizens use cannabis
responsibly and are tired of various forms of government
discrimination and deceit directed toward them.

The most inspiring reasons to re-legalize cannabis are in the Bible,
where cannabis is thought of as a plant, not a drug. Prohibiting man
from access to cannabis is uncivilized, not just to me but to Christ
God Our Father, the Ecologician, who sent Me and told Us all the
seed-bearing plants were good, on literally the very first page of the
Bible.
