Cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) couldn't be the "devil weed" because the devil never had powers of creation. In fact one reason Christians should support Amendment 44, legalizing small amounts of cannabis is because it is Biblically correct since Christ God Our Father, 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 Biblical restriction place on cannabis is that it be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). It's time to stop caging humans for using what God says it good.
