MARIJUANA IS A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT

Sean Quinn is mistaken when suggesting that Florida should
decriminalize marijuana. It's clearly time to completely re-legalize
cannabis for responsible adults.

Another reason to stop punishing and persecuting citizens for using
the relatively safe, God-given plant that doesn't get mentioned is
because it is biblically correct since God indicates He created all
the seed-bearing plants, saying they're all good on literally the
first page (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction
placed on cannabis is that it be accepted with thankfulness (see 1
Timothy 4:1-5). Ending cannabis prohibition is one of the most
important issues of our time.
