One reason to legalize cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) for sick citizens that doesn't get mentioned 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 placed on cannabis is that it be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). And, "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). It's time to stop persecuting and caging sick humans for using what God says is good. Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
