MARIJUANA USE CONDONED IN BIBLE'S TEACHINGS

Dear Editor, Anastacia Cosner and Kirk Muse ( "High school drug policy needs another look," Sept.  27, and "Marijuana use different than cocaine or meth," Oct.  5 ) got arrow-splitting bull's-eyes, but there is more to the story.

Cannabis ( marijuana ) prohibition contributes to hard drug addiction because of inherent lies used to perpetuate the farce.  One example: cannabis is a relatively safe God-given plant, yet the federal government places it as a Schedule I substance along with heroin, and meth is only a Schedule II substance.

Although minors should not use cannabis, responsible adults should not be caged for using it, and one reason is because it is Biblically correct since Christ God Our Father ( The Ecologician ) indicates he created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they're all good, on literally the very first page.  The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness ( see 1 Timothy 4:1-5 ).
