A reason to stop caging sick citizens who use cannabis (marijuana) that doesn't get mentioned is because it's 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 (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 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). Jesus Christ risked jail to heal the sick. Stan White Dillon, Colorado - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
