Prohibition Of Marijuana Is Destructive, Immoral

Letter to the Editor

As a fellow citizen and cannabis activist, I condemn the choice of police 
service and protection Loretta Nall received as described in Friday's 
column "Marijuana Activist: Police persecuting me for beliefs." Biblically, 
medically and recreationally, many citizens use cannabis responsibly and 
are tired of government discrimination and lies. At the very least, North 
America must re-legalize cannabis, especially when you consider the worst 
side effects of cannabis are police-inflicted.

Police should not be a part of that fraud, and whoever is in charge should 
be looking for another job. One where serving and protecting is not required.

Freedom lovers must stop this dangerous activity.

The original prohibition on a national scale was worse than the booze that 
was prohibited, and the sequel, now on an international scale, is worse.

The historically discredited war on some drugs is costing citizens at every 
facet, including infringing on human, civil and constitutional rights. The 
war on drugs and cannabis, a plant, further finances terrorism beyond the 
conceptions of Al Capone to that of al-Qaeda.

Jailing people for using cannabis is so mean-spirited, repulsive and sinful 
that it should be asked if cannabis prohibitionists really even comprehend 
that they're caging humans for using a plant?

Instead of caging humans for using cannabis, thank Christ God, our Father 
for cannabis. Accept cannabis (known as kaneh bosm, before the King James 
Version) for what it is as described on literally the very first page of 
the Bible (Genesis 1:11-12 and Genesis 1:29-30).
