MEDICAL MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGAL

Prohibiting sick citizens from using cannabis (marijuana) is vile and
lacks compassion ("Blowing smoke: Legalizing pot in Ohio" (Jan. 15).

Another reason to allow sick citizens to use cannabis that doesn't get
mentioned is because it's biblically correct, since God created the
plant, saying it's good on literally the very first page of the Bible.

Further, many people know of cannabis as the tree of life, and the
very last page of the Bible indicates the leaves of the tree of life
are for the healing of the nations. The Christ Jesus risked jail in
order to heal the sick. A sane or moral argument to cage sick humans
for using cannabis doesn't exist.
