Sally DeTurk's assertion, "find the root of this problem and eliminate it," in Tuesday's letters got my attention. The exposed root of the problem is Biblical. It requires truth; God and his medicine may help, too. Our father gave us cannabis and said it was for food and medicine, for those who know and accept the truth. Fact is, most people would choose cannabis over hard drugs any day. Studies show that even monkeys choose cannabis to escape cocaine addiction. Addiction to cannabis is less than coffee. If it helps your daughter off hard drugs, it's not only good medicine, it's God's medicine. Cannabis has an awesome safety record, too: in over 5,000 years of use, not one soul ever died from overdose. Lying and denying God on the very first page, biblically, is a bad seed and truly the root of the problem. The prohibition of cannabis may be the original living sin. Thank God for cannabis. Accept cannabis (known as kaneh bosm, before the King James Version), as described on the very first page of the Bible (Gen. 1:11-12 & 29-30). Christ-God gave us cannabis and put cannabinoid (THC) receptor sites in our brains since the beginning. Those who prohibit that connection may well be the true terrorists - to Christ-God and the holy spirit of truth. Not just God, Christ-God. Not just legalize, relegalize. Not just truth, but holy spirit of truth. STAN WHITE Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: S Heath(DPF of Florida)
