L. Nave, Feb. 26]. Another reason to stop persecuting sick citizens who use cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is because it is biblically correct since God indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page. The only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Tim. 4:1-5). And "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17).
