BIBLICAL PASSAGES PROMOTE CANNABIS USE

Dear Editor,

The original prohibition was harmful to America and the sequel is
worse ("A War on Drugs Is a War on Ourselves," Oct. 12, 2006); at the
very minimum, it is time to re-legalize cannabis.

Another reason to end cannabis prohibition, persecution and
extermination is because it is biblically correct, since Christ God
Our Father indicates that He created all the seed-bearing plants,
saying that they are all good. (See Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30.) The
only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it be accepted
with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5).

It's time to stop caging humans for using what God says is
good.
