Cannabis (kaneh bosm / marijuana) isn't even a drug but rather a relatively safe God-given plant. Do students lose financial aid if caught with alcohol? Further discrimination exists because students convicted of murder or rape, are still eligible for financial aid in school. Government's attempts to persecute, prohibit and exterminate cannabis is luciferous to begin with since Christ God, Our Father, The Ecologician, indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page of the Bible (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).
