THE BIBLE SAYS MARIJUANA IS OK

Thank you for C J Patton's Nov. 11 column "Making Sense Of Weed,"
exposing the need for credible drug law reform and ending cannabis
prohibition.

One thing that isn't being mentioned is the spiritual and religious
use of cannabis by obedient Christians and others, which exists and
should be protected within our freedom of religion. People use
cannabis as a sacrament to enhance their relationship with the Spirit
of Truth, as described in John 14-16 and 1 John.

Re-legalizing cannabis (kaneh bosm before the King James Version) is
Biblically correct. The Bible tells us God created all the
seed-bearing plants and said they are all good on literally the very
first page. That's not an accident, and the entire Bible is against
punishing humans for using what God said is good.

Biblically, it is time to stop caging humans for using cannabis.
