And, "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). Often, failed clergy and the "Christian right," influence opposition and persecution of cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) and its potential to heal gets denied. Ironically, many people believe cannabis is the tree of life and the very last page of the Bible (Revelation 22) indicates the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations; thus cannabis was and is created to heal and end war. Cannabis is a blessing to be accepted for our own good; not persecuted, prohibited and exterminated. STAN WHITE, Dillion, Colo - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
