Nationally, citizens do support allowing use of Cannabis for medicinal use, in fact every recent referendum placed before the voter has passed. Just because the culture of corporations, persecute Cannabis users in America doesn't make it right. In other parts of the world, cultures accept Cannabis, one example is the Ford Motor Company near Pretoria, South Africa. ( http://cannabisnews.com/news/12/thread12948.shtml ) However the best argument for re-legalizing cannabis is because Christ God Our Father told us that he created all the seed bearing plants and said they were all good. If that's not clear enough, he even told us that on the very first page of the Bible. Biblically, cannabis prohibition is "illegal." Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
