IT'S A GOD-GIVEN PLANT

Cannabis is not just a plant ["Club Pot Med," Aug. 16]. It's a
God-given plant, as in Christ God Our Father indicated He created all
the seed-bearing plants saying they are all good on literally the very
first page of the Bible (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).

Often, failed clergy and the "Christian right" influence opposition
and persecution of cannabis (kaneh bosm/ marijuana) and its potential
to heal gets denied. Ironically, many people believe cannabis is the
tree of life and the very last page of the Bible (Revelation 22)
indicates the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the
nations; thus cannabis was and is created to heal and end war.
