The same way cannabis wins yet loses, the Santa Barbara City Council should lose their seats as well ["Stirring the Pot," Nov. 14]. Further, government's effort to perpetuate persecuting, prohibiting, and exterminating cannabis (a?k?a kaneh bosm/marijuana) is biblically fallible, since Christ God Our Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the first page (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
