MARIJUANA SUPPORT FOUND IN BIBLE

As a Colorado Christian citizen, where cannabis is legally used by
sick citizens to help get through cancer, Martin Chilcutt's Viewpoint
on July 4 caught my attention.

As Chilcutt pleads with U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, to
reconsider the perpetuation of caging sick humans for using a green
plant, it may be of interest to realize where God indicated he created
all the green seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good. It's
literally the very first page of the Bible. Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30.

Isn't it hypocritical for politicians to say they support their
constituents, yet support caging them for using a plant to help get
relief from serious illness at the same time?
