REASONS FOR NOT PUNISHING MARIJUANA USERS CAN BE FOUND IN THE
SCRIPTURES

To the Editor:

Democrats are smart embracing cannabis (marijuana) since every poll
indicates the majority of voters want to end cannabis prohibition and
regulate the plant ("Some Maryland Democrats hope to legalize, tax
pot," Jan. 20 Times-News, Page 1A).

Another reason to re-legalize cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is
because it is Biblically correct since God created all the
seed-bearing plants saying they're all good on literally the very
first page of the Bible ("And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed
was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good," Genesis
1:12, KJV).

A sane or moral argument to continue punishing and caging humans for
using cannabis simply doesn't exist.
