ANOTHER REASON TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS

Dear Editor,

Another reason to legalize cannabis is that it is Biblically correct [in 
response to March 2's "Living in a culture of fear"). 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 (kaneh bosm, before 
the King James Bible) 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. It is time to stop caging humans for 
using what is good.
