Numerous biblical references abound alluding to "herb-bearing seed" (which cannabis most certainly is) and its references to it "being for meat" and that "God saying that it was good" 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 that stand as testimony to this fact. It is the blatant misconstruing of matters spiritual based on ill-concocted "moral" inventions perpetuated by the likes of the letter writer which in fact contribute to the deluded notion that there is justification for the continuation of cannabis prohibition. And then there are the medicinal considerations. It adds insult to injury to even consider the number of biblical trespasses abhorred by God (including blasphemy) that the letter writer herself has breached in her attempt to vilify cannabis, and the Reverend Brothers Tucker and Baldasaro.
