GOD'S GIFT TO MAN: MARIJUANA

With the countless problems California citizens face, struggling to 
use the God-given plant cannabis (marijuana) for medical reasons 
(Letters. "SLO County Cities Should Not Ban Patients," Dec. 29), it 
should be obvious that it's time to completely end cannabis 
prohibition. Ending cannabis prohibition in Colorado eliminated 
perhaps 90 percent of the controversy California citizens face. Now 
sick people in Colorado no longer are required to get a doctor's 
permission to use the plant or the state's permit to use or grow the 
plant. That is to say, sick citizens no longer pay the state 
extortion money for protection from the police in order to grow and 
use what God indicates He created and says is good on literally the 
first page of the Bible.

Legalizing cannabis would also force Pismo Beach police Chief Jake 
Miller to return to protecting citizens instead of gardening.
