Another reason to re-legalize cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is because it would be biblically correct. It is no accident God indicated He created all the seed-bearing plants and said they are all good on literally the very first page of the Bible. The only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it be used with thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:1-5). Thank Christ God Our Father, The Ecologist, for cannabis.
