The Bible doesn't say the Montana Department of Corrections created all the plants on the first page. It says God created all the plants and said they're all good. No department of corrections or anyone else has the infinite authority to proclaim cannabis illegal for humans as though their decision matters. Cannabis is good, period. Not according to me or the department of corrections or anyone else; according to God. A better conversation would be how to stop persecuting humans for using what God says is good.
