Stan Whites letter, "Use of marijuana is biblical and should be legal" ( May 13 ), is obviously senseless, illogical, untrue and contrary to all reason of common sense.
Our heavenly Father did create all seed-bearing plants, in the first chapter of the Bible. But he also stated his purpose for these seed-bearing plants; "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food" ( Gen. 1: 29 ). Food! So where does he tell us to roll up a joint and smoke it? The Bible condemns intoxication.
This is what Stan White doesn't want loving parents to teach their children, of the harmful effects of marijuana:
Marijuana ( THC ) is an extremely powerful intoxicant. It affects, alters and damages brain cells controlling thinking, emotion, pleasure, coordination, mood and memory. The pituitary gland is also damaged which regulates hunger, thirst, blood pressure, sexual behavior and release of sex hormones. Clogged synapses, brain damage and addiction. Marijuana accumulates in the microscopic spaces between nerve cells in the brain called "synapses." This clogging interferes by slowing and impairing transfer critical information. Long-term use causes the brain to stop production of brain chemicals necessary to "feel good" - a negative feedback condition. And, the user becomes chemically addicted to marijuana. Speeds up heartbeat as much as 50 percent, increases blood pressure, and poses great risk to those with hypertension and heart disease. Is this what our heavenly Father wants for our children?
Marijuana can deteriorate the brain of those who try to support their evil habits through the teachings of the Holy Bible, which is in complete opposition to drugs.
So who's brainwashing our children?
