Ellen Story ("Western Mass. Legislators File Marijuana Reform Bill," Feb. 3, 2011) believes Massachusetts should lead the nation to finally ending reefer madness. It's starting to look like a healthy race between Washington, Colorado, California, Oregon. Massachusetts and others to see which state legalizes the superplant first. Another reason to stop caging, punishing and persecuting responsible adults for using cannabis (marijuana) that doesn't get mentioned is because it is Biblically correct since God, The Ecologician 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).
