THE BIBLE APPROVES

As a Christian who helped pass Colorado's medical cannabis law,
allowing sick citizens to use cannabis legally, I can see it works.

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.
