MARIJUANA OK, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE

Editor:

Why would it be "hard to legalize marijuana with a Mormon majority
population" (SSDP petitions to legalize marijuana, Sept. 30)?

Another reason to stop caging responsible adults for using cannabis
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 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. Caging or
punishing responsible adults for using what God says is good is
immoral and just plain wrong.
