GOD MADE CANNABIS

Bob Rinearson's rationalization ("War on drugs important to nation's
future, and worth every dime spent," May 7) to continue cannabis
(marijuana) prohibition is ignorant.

Perhaps it's time for Rinearson to stop thinking of cannabis as a drug
and start thinking of it as a plant. God created all seed-bearing
plants, saying they are all good on the first page of the Bible.

A sane and moral argument to continue caging humans for using the
plant cannabis doesn't exist. Caging humans for using cannabis can
only be rationalized based upon personality traits associated with
bigotry, racism or discrimination.
