Dear Editor of The Renegade Rip,
It is important for cannabis users (Students Use Marijuana To Treat Health Problems, Feb. 24, 2005) to know where they stand on the cannabis issue in Biblical terms. It is Biblically correct to re-legalize cannabis (kaneh bosm, before the King James Bible ). It is no accident that the Bible indicates God created all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good, on literally the very first page in Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30. The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that we use it with thanksgiving – see 1 Timothy 4:1-5, where it even describes who will promote its prohibition as those who have fallen away from the faith. Many people would also like clergy to speak up on this issue since Jesus Christ risked going to jail in order to heal the sick.
Truthfully,
Stan White
