Dispensary Regulations on Hold," Feb. 16, 2011), it's unacceptable moratoriums are rooted in efforts to stop them. Another reason to help sick citizens have access to cannabis 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). The only restriction placed on cannabis is to accept it with thankfulness (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?" (1 John 3:17).
