CHECK WITH MASTER GARDENER BEFORE WEEDING OUT POT

I strongly disagree with Lovera McGill ("Legalization of marijuana would
make big stink," June 23).

Caging humans for using a plant is sick and uncivilized human behavior for
the year 2005. Further, as an obedient Christian, I'd like to point out that
all seed-bearing plants were created by Christ God Our Father, who said they
were all good on literally the first page of the Bible.

Government would like citizens to think cannabis is a chemical weapon of
mass destruction; in reality, it has been medically documented for more than
5,000 years, still without a single fatality. Can that be said about any
other substance on earth? That's safety, on a biblical scale.

Instead of allowing cannabis to be exterminated by a disobedient Christian
government, we should thank God, the original ecologist, for cannabis and
accept this blessing.
