One of the most important truths about cannabis not mentioned is that on the first page of the Bible, God indicates He created all seed-bearing plants and that they are all good (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). Caging humans for using what God says is good is luciferous and separates people from the truth. It's no wonder that by the time humans get to the third page of the Bible they are stumbling, unable to grasp the lesson of Cain and Abel and resist killing and murder. Cannabis prohibition, persecution and extermination is the Biblical root of all problems facing humans today. Prohibiting cannabis makes it difficult for the nations to heal and end killing and murder. Biblically, we're told the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations on the very last page. Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
