CANNABIS USE DEFENDED

I strongly disagree with William M. Bennett's June 27 letter,
"Medicinal pot is a ruse." 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, all the
seed-bearing plants are created by Christ God Our Father, who said
they are all good on literally the very first page of the Bible.

Government would like citizens to think cannabis is a chemical weapon
of mass destruction; in reality, cannabis 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 Christ God Our
Father, The Ecologician, for cannabis and accept this blessing.
