The Tribune Review-Pittsburg, PA, December 7, 2004

Your "Reefer madness" editorial asked, "Should Americans be allowed to smoke marijuana to ease their pain?" Since this is a biblical issue, I'd
like to give a biblical response. Ending cannabis prohibition,
persecution and extermination is biblically correct. Our unwavering God said He created all the seedbearing plants and said they were all good on the very first page of the Bible.

The Bible is against cannabis prohibition. For example: 1 John 3:17,
"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?"

Obedient Christians would like to see clergy speak up on this issue
since Jesus Christ risked going to jail to heal the sick.
