AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY, GOD SAID, 'LET THERE BE LEGALIZED MARIJUANA.'

To the Daily:

As a Christian from Colorado, I voted to allow citizens to use the
God-given plant cannabis (Light one up for Michigan, 11/30/2006). I am
confident it was the right thing to do.

One reason to stop imprisoning citizens for using cannabis that isn't
often mentioned is the Bible's approval of the drug. Christ God Our
Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they
are all good, on literally the first page of the Bible (Genesis
1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis
is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

It is time to re-legalize what God says is good.
