To the editors,
It’s encouraging that students are working to bring sanity to America‘s cannabis (kaneh bosm / marijuana) laws (“GW Student Association Passes Pro-Pot Resolution,” News, Feb. 22, 2007) since it’s safer than alcohol, less addictive than coffee, hasn’t caused an overdose in over 5,000 years of documented use and should not be prohibited for responsible adults.
Another reason for allowing citizens to use cannabis that doesn’t get mentioned is because it is Biblically correct. God Our Father indicates 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). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5).
Truthfully,
