CANNABIS: THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Re: Your spiritual series that ran Jan. 9-15.

Christ God, Our Father, and His spirit of truth are important in my life 
and cannabis helps me know and understand it more than most anything else.

What led me closer to the spirit of truth, to begin with, was praying for 
the truth about cannabis, while being persecuted by clergy for using it.

A reason people like to use cannabis (kaneh bosm before the King James 
Version) is because it makes people feel closer to God, but most people 
don't know it and just enjoy the buzz.

Until I was persecuted for using cannabis and found the truth, I would 
never have imagined it could help people's spiritual life; but it does.

Protect yourselves from clergy who mistakenly teach the table of the Lord 
is defiled. The table of the Lord is not defiled. See Malachi 1:6-14, 
subtitled, "Sin of the Priests," (New American Standard Bible) along with 
the very first page where God created all the seed-bearing plants, saying 
they are all good.

People should stop supporting cannabis prohibition since it harms 
themselves by separating them from the spirit of truth, which is promised 
to those who obey Jesus Christ and love one another (John 14-16.)

You can not love someone and cage them for using what is good.

The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that we accept it with 
thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:1-5). If you use cannabis, thank God for it.
