BIBLICALLY APPROVED POT

Richard M. Evans got an arrow-splitting bull's-eye exposing cannabis 
(marijuana) prohibition, persecution and extermination ("The 
president's pot problem," April 22) for what it is.

Truth is, another reason to end cannabis prohibition that doesn't get 
mentioned is because it is biblically correct, since God Our Father, 
The Ecologician, indicates He created all 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).

The list of reasons to relegalize cannabis is growing faster than the 
plant itself.
