NO. 1 CROP FOR REASON

To the Editor:
The Union Democrat doesn't get it ("Pot farms thrive despite best 
CAMP efforts," editorial, Aug. 15). If cannabis (marijuana) were 
re-legalized and regulated it would be less of a pervasive problem 
than it is today.
With millions of citizens choosing to use the relatively safe 
God-given cannabis (kaneh-bosm: cannabis in the Old Testament) plant 
it's not surprising millions of plants are being grown across the 
nation. Americans have every right to choose using cannabis, even 
Biblically, and should demand a regulated cultivation and market 
system to make it available. Government shouldn't lasciviously 
prohibit, persecute and exterminate cannabis. Either way the great 
demand for cannabis will be met. That's why it's the No. 1 leading 
crop in many states. It's obviously time to re-legalize cannabis.
