WHAT WOULD JESUS SMOKE?

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).
