GOD SAYS HEMP IS OK

To the editor: Another reason to re-legalize hemp (or cannabis or 
marijuana) that doesn't get mentioned ("Groovy National Product," 
Jan. 17, 2007) is that it is biblically correct. Christ God Our 
Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they 
are all good, on literally the very first page of the Bible (see 
Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only biblical restriction placed on 
hemp is that it be used with thankfulness. It's time the government 
stopped prohibiting and persecuting humans for using what God says is good.
