BIBLE AGREES WITH POT USE

Editor, The News:

Re: Derrick Dick's letter of May 11 ('Serve God, drop the pot,' Viewpoint):

It is the blatant misconstruing of matters spiritual-based on ill-concocted
"moral" inventions perpetuated by the likes of the letter writer which
contribute to the deluded notion that there is justification for the
continuation of cannabis prohibition. There is not.

Numerous biblical references allude to "herb bearing seed" (which cannabis
most certainly is) "being for meat" and of "God saying that it was good."

These references can in fact be found in the authorized King James version
of the Holy Bible.

Genesis 1:11-13, Genesis 1:27-31 (to name but a few references) stand as
testimony to this fact.
