MANY PEOPLE COMPARE CANNABIS TO 'TREE OF LIFE'

Editor:

Another reason to allow sick citizens to use cannabis (marijuana) 
that doesn't get mentioned (Pennsylvania lawmakers start debating 
bill to permit the use of medical marijuana, Mar. 15), is because it 
is Biblically correct since God indicates He created all the 
seed-bearing plants saying they're all good on literally the very 
first page of the Bible. The only Biblical restriction to using 
cannabis is to use it with thankfulness (1 Tim. 4:1-5). 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.

A sane or moral argument to cage sick people who use cannabis doesn't exist.
