The only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that we accept it with Thanksgiving. Instead of caging humans for using cannabis, thank Our Father for cannabis. Accept cannabis (known as kaneh bosm, before the King James version) for what it is as described on the very first page of the Bible. The war on drugs is so ignorant that I must ask if cannabis prohibitionists even comprehend that they're admitting a desire to cage humans for using a plant? - -Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
