MARIJUANA CHOICE PRAISED, DEFENDED WITH BIBLE

Jim Miller's activism, as recounted in his letter headlines, 
"Marijuana festival example of peaceful march" on Oct. 16, is 
encouraging. Activism for freedom of choice to use cannabis without 
threat of jail has produced election ballot amendments in Colorado 
and Nevada, which will make them the first states to legalize 
cannabis for adults.

Colorado was the 1st state to repeal the original prohibition and 
Colorado may be the first to repeal the sequel.

One reason to legalize cannabis (marijuana) that doesn't get 
mentioned is because it is biblically correct, since Christ indicates 
he created all the seed-bearing plants saying they are all good, on 
literally the very first page - Genesis 1:11-12, 29-30.

The only biblical restriction place on cannabis is that it be 
accepted with thankfulness - 1. Timothy 4:1-5.

It's time to stop persecuting and caging humans for using what God 
says it good.
