Another reason to allow free American farmers to grow the God-given hemp plant (kaneh-bosm/marijuana) that doesn't get mentioned ("It's time for a victory for hemp," March 28), is because it's biblically correct since Christ God our father indicates he created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only biblical restriction placed on hemp is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). It's time to reintroduce hemp as a component of American agriculture.
