POT IS A GIFT FROM GOD

Re "Pot Prohibition Madness" (RN&R, News, March 17):

With all the discredited, government-subsidized persecution of
cannabis and the public's subsequent brainwashing, it is important for
cannabis users to know where they stand on the issue in biblical
terms. It is biblically correct to re-legalize cannabis (kaneh bosm
before the King James Version). 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 of 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--those who have fallen away from the
faith.

It is time for government to stop caging humans for using what is
good.
