CANNABIS IS GIFT FROM GOD, SO MAKE IT LEGAL

As a Christian in Colorado with two school-aged children, I face the 
same drug-related problems Indiana faces and can answer your 
question: "What should be done about the drug problem in Porter and 
LaPorte counties?"

Consistently show credibility and never compromise credibility. I can 
do this by separating cannabis as a plant from all the serious 
dangerous and addictive drugs and point directly to the government 
and people like U.S. Rep. Mark Souder as being responsible for the 
drug problem because of obvious lack of credibility.

I can add credibility to the need to re-legalize cannabis biblically 
as well by pointing out that God indicated he created all the 
seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very 
first page of the Bible (Genesis 1:11-12 and 1:29-30).

Isn't it hypocritical and discrediting for government and politicians 
to say they support their constituents and support caging them for 
using a God-given plant at the same time?
