ACCEPT WEED WITH A SMILE OF GRATITUDE

Re: Tories Propose Drug Crime Crackdown, Dec. 8, 2007

Canadians should keep mandatory minimum sentences (Tories Propose 
Drug Crime Crackdown, Dec. 8, 2007) out of their country. Citizens 
who grow or sell cannabis offer services that should not be illegal 
since millions of North Americans choose using the relatively safe 
God-given plant that should already be re-legalized.

Discredited and harmful mandatory minimum sentences will effect
cannabis growers and sellers at a time when laws should be moving in
the opposite direction.

Even Canada's 2002, Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs' unanimously
recommended to regulate cannabis the same way as alcohol.

Further, one reason to re-legalize cannabis instead of moving in the
other direction that doesn't get mentioned is because it's Biblically
correct.

Christ God Our Father, The Ecologician indicates He created all the
seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very
first page in the Bible.

The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be
accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5).
