BIBLE LED TO SUPPORT OF MEDICAL-MARIJUANA

As a Colorado Christian citizen who voted to allow sick citizens to 
use cannabis - marijuana - legally, Pete Guither's letter ("Wanted 
approval of medical-marijuana," YourViews, July 4) caught my attention.

One reason the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, 
Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, Union for Reform Judaism, 
Progressive National Baptist Convention and the Unitarian 
Universalist Association actively support the use of medical 
marijuana, along with 70 percent of Americans, is because God 
indicated he created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all 
good on literally the very 1st page of the Bible - see Genesis 
1:11-12 and 29-30.
