USE OF MARIJUANA IS BASED IN THE BIBLE

As a Christian, I must speak up about what Jonathan Troutman thinks is
"moral" (Legalizing marijuana a dangerous prospect, Dec. 16),
concerning the relatively safe God-given plant cannabis.

Caging responsible adult humans for cannabis is immoral, sinful and
just plain wrong. One reason to re-legalize cannabis that doesn't get
mentioned is because it is Biblically correct since God indicates he
created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are 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).

Does Jonathan Troutman even realize He supports caging people for
using what God says is good?
