DON'T HATE ON 'GOD-GIVEN PLANT'

Given that cannabis (marijuana) prohibition laws were made as legal
discrimination from the beginning, it's no surprise there are certain
people insistent on continuing the discrimination (GV's Policy Outlaws
Medical Marijuana, April 18, 2010) as long as possible.

If sick citizens are allowed to use the full array of pharmaceutical
drugs which are highly addictive and have side effects which include
death, then patients should be able to use the relatively safe,
God-given plant cannabis.

Another reason to quit discriminating against sick citizens who use
cannabis is because it is Biblically correct since Christ God Our
Father, The Ecologician, indicates He created all the seed-bearing
plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page
(Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on
cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy
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.
