Right on, Sir Ronald

Dear Editor,

Sir Ronald Sanders got an arrow-splitting bull’s eye (“Decriminalising marijuana – taking the high ground”, October 31, 2010), exposing cannabis prohibition as just plain wrong.

Speaking of “religious purposes”, another reason to stop caging responsible adults for using the relatively safe plant cannabis that doesn’t get mentioned is because it is biblically correct since Christ God Our Father, The Ecologician, indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants saying they are all good, on literally the very first page (see 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).

What kind of government cages its own citizens for using what God says is good?
