Amen. Colorado law enforcement groups alleged what Howell Police Chief George Basar ("Police chief critical of marijuana measure," Oct. 20) claims; however, the claims have proven false. Another reason to permit sick humans to use the relatively safe God-given plant cannabis (marijuana) that doesn't mentioned is because it's biblically correct since Christ. The Ecologician indicates he created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page. Further, the only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1Timothy 4:1-5). And "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?" (see 1 John 3:17). Jesus Christ risked jail to heal the sick. Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
