SUPPORT FOR LEGAL POT FOUND IN BIBLE

Editor, Another reason to re-legalize cannabis (marijuana) for sick
citizens and their families that doesn't get mentioned (Editorial:
Science points to medicinal benefits of pot, Feb. 3) is because it is
biblically correct since God created all the seed-bearing plants
saying they're all good on literally the very first page of the Bible.

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.
