BIBLICAL CONNECTION TO MEDICINAL POT

As a Christian, it's encouraging to see sick citizens allowed to use 
cannabis ("Medicinal pot on Yuba agenda," Dec. 1) without being 
persecuted. I'm reminded of "but whoever has the world's goods, and 
sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does 
the love of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). Jesus Christ risked 
jail to heal the sick.

Further, cannabis (marijuana) is believed to be the tree of life, and 
the very last page of the Bible tells us the leaves of the tree of 
life are for the healing of the nations.
