PLANTS BELONG TO EVERYONE

Editor:

Re: What would God want? Feedback, the Observer, Dec. 6.

Michael Hunt-Hertz's argument for prohibition makes absolutely no sense.

Just because God insisted on circumcision, and allowed Post 
Generational Procreation to populate the Earth, doesn't mean that He 
wanted some of us to put others in jail for using a herb. They have 
nothing at all to do with each other.

Consider Genesis, Chapter 1, verse 11-12: And God said, "Let the 
earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees 
bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, 
upon the earth." And it was so. 12: The earth brought forth 
vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and 
trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its 
kind. And God saw that it was good."

By Hunt-Hertz's logic, we'd have to put God Himself in jail for 
"inventing marijuana with intent to distribute."

Also, decades of The Almighty giving away free sunlight and rain to 
marijuana growers, many of whom are affiliated with organized crime 
or biker gangs, constitutes trillions of charges of participating in 
various organized drug crimes - in Canada alone.

God also created the Earth, which, to many police officials, is the 
same as building a gigantic grow-op facility with the capacity to 
output billions of tons of pot every year.

Finally, consider Revelation 22: "2 down the middle of the great 
street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, 
bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And 
the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations."

God's Law - as written in The Book - says all plants belong to all 
men, everywhere, forever.

Canadian government law says some men go to jail for using some of 
God's plants. Since when do the laws of man supersede The Laws of The Creator?

If Hunt-Hertz would rather offer his fealty and obedience to the 
government, in open disrespect and defiance of God's Law, then he'd 
better start praying.
