Dear Editor: Regarding Loretta Nall's request ('Make medical marijuana legal,' letters, Nov. 21): Colorado legalized medical cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana) use and it has worked properly, protecting sick citizens from confrontation with government.

One reason to permit sick humans to use the relatively safe God-given plant cannabis 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.

Further, 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?' (See 1 John 3:17). Jesus Christ risked jail to heal the sick.

    Cannabis / Kanah Bosm was created by God'

    This I agree and believe this to be true,
    (As stated on the very first page;
    And this statement of God,
    (EVERY herb bearing seed is for our use as food /
    Made and God-given* for our rightful usage ),
    Neither to be unjustly prohibited,
    NOR consumed in excess, i.e. 'gluttony'

    NOR was this proclamation of the Creator
    obviated by consequence of anything
    Adam and Eve did in Genesis, chapter 3,
    NOR by words in the original Greek of the
    New Testament having sinister connotations,
    (i.e. PHARMAKEIA -> witchcraft / sorcery).

    -------------------------------------------------
    Genesis 1:29-30 (King James Version)

    29 And God said, Behold, I have given you EVERY herb bearing seed,
    which is upon the face of all the earth, and EVERY tree,
    in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

    30 And to EVERY beast of the earth,
    and to EVERY fowl of the air,
    and to EVERY thing that creepeth upon the earth,
    wherein there is life,
    I have given EVERY green herb for meat: and it was so.

    *God-Given:
    According to Genesis 1:29,
    I believe THAT . . .
    --- EACH, EVERY and ALL
    seed-bearing plants, herbs and trees,
    were created / custom-made by God to meet / fulfil some
    SPECIFIC biochemical need of the human body,
    (Including proper functioning, structural building / repair,
    enzymatic / catalytic processes, and energy needs).
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - -

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 (King James Version)

    1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
    that in the latter times
    some shall depart from the faith,
    giving heed to seducing spirits,
    and doctrines of devils;

    2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
    having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

    3 Forbidding to marry,
    and commanding to abstain from meats,
    which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving
    of them which believe and know the truth.

    4 For EVERY creature of God is good,
    and nothing to be refused,
    if it be received with thanksgiving:

    5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

    >>Follow the MONEY, (See 1 Timothy 6:9-10);
    It's quite lucrative to keep an innocuous
    and quite useful plant illegal / prohibited<<

    1 Timothy 6:9-10 (King James Version)

    9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
    and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
    which drown men in destruction and perdition.

    10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
    which while some coveted after,
    they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves
    through with many sorrows.
