GOD GAVE US CANNABIS; NOW THE DEA IS TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY

The crime of the century ("DEA Rules Threaten to Strangle Hemp Business,"
Jan. 7) has to have been the prohibition of hemp and cannabis. It is the
epitome of ignorance. Christ God gave us cannabis and put cannabinoid (THC)
receptor sites in our brains. Why use public taxes to punish citizens for
making that connection?

Now, we are talking about hemp with zilch for THC. There are two
conflicting policies pertaining to cannabis: one is man's, caging humans
for using cannabis, and the other is Christ God's saying cannabis is a
blessing.

Thank God for cannabis. Accept cannabis (also known as kaneh bosm, before
the King James Version), for what it is as described on the very first page
(like Deja vu) of the Bible (Gen. 1:11-12 & 29-30). Christ God gave us
cannabis; who prohibits it? Hint: check 1 Timothy 4:1-5.
