Even Canada's 2002 Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs unanimously recommended to regulate cannabis the same way as alcohol. Further, historically for thousands of years, cannabis has been used for spiritual and religious uses that should not be denied to humans. Biblically, the leaves of cannabis, also known as the tree of life, are for the healing of the nations (see the very last page of the Bible). -Stan White
