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. Christ Jesus risked jail in order to heal the sick. A sane or moral argument to continue caging sick humans for using cannabis simply doesn't exist. Stan White, Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
