KUDOS TO EFFORT TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS

My regards to the new NORML chapter ("New club seeks marijuana law reform,"
Sept. 29 Press-Citizen). There is a glitch in the system when humans are
caged for using a plant. The original prohibition on a national scale was
worse than the booze prohibition, and the sequel, now on an international
scale, is worse.

For me, the root of this problem can biblically be traced back to the very
first page of the Bible, through the eye of the spirit. The Holy Spirit of
truth enables us to comprehend the conflict, which is between man's laws to
cage a brother for using a plant and God's words indicating that all the
green plants are good, in Genesis. 1:11-12 and 1:29-30.

In the year 2002, it is time to control the out-of-control prohibitionists
in America. At the very minimum, that means re-legalizing can-nabis. As the
new commandment is to love our brothers, re-legalizing cannabis would be a
move in that direction.
