MARIJUANA IS BIBLICAL

To the editor,

The Daily Telegram editorial "Medical Marijuana Law In Need Of Cure"
(Sept. 26), hit the bull's-eye; Congress should ease the federal
prohibition of cannabis (marijuana).

Another reason to stop caging sick citizens for using cannabis that
doesn't get mentioned is because it is biblically correct since God
indicates He created all the seed bearing plants saying they are all
good, on literally the very first page (see Genesis 1:11-12 and
29-30). The only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it 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).

Further, many people know of cannabis as the tree of life and the very
last page of the Bible indicates the leaves of the tree of life are
for the healing of the nations.
