MARIJUANA USE IS BIBLICALLY ACCEPTABLE

It is important for cannabis users to know where they stand on the
cannabis issue in Biblical terms. It is Biblically correct to
re-legalize cannabis (Kaneh Bosm, before the King James Bible).

It is no accident that the Bible indicates God created all the
seed-bearing plants and said they were all good, on literally the very
first page in Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30. The only Biblical restriction
placed on cannabis is that we use it with thanksgiving - see 1 Timothy
4:1-5, where it even describes who will promote its prohibition as
those who have fallen away from the faith.

Many people would also like clergy to speak up on this issue since
Jesus Christ risked going to jail in order to heal the sick.
