CANNABIS REALITIES

I'm sure Dr. Greg Elam means well (Re: "Live Drug-Free," Jan. 14), 
however, cannabis (marijuana) isn't a "drug" but rather a God-given 
plant as described on literally the very first page of the Bible.

The plant cannabis should not be compared with drugs that kill "50 
people a day" since it has not killed one single person in over 5,000 
years of documented medical use. That's safety on a Biblical scale.

A sane or moral argument to cage sick citizens for using cannabis 
doesn't exist.
