It seems we have an ongoing discussion, and are on the same page. R.O.E is pretty much right on too. I look forward to your comments, and enjoy your dedication to the cause. What seems evident to me is...there are many posts that include God. I can easily imagine how that makes prohibs blood boil...due to the fact that they "insist" that God is against cannabis. So, for their insistence, I offer, as reference, Genesis I:11,12 "He/she makes it." Genesis I:29,30,31 "He/she gives it." Genesis IX:3 "He/she reaffirms it." Just as a point, I'm not a fanatic...far from it... because...I'm an individualist...but..."my Faith"... not religion...is based on trust and belief. I believe in "Manna" as the Holy Sacrament for CDXX Communion. When you think about it...what other reason do I need... but to embrace God's word. Ya know...it doesn't matter what religion one follows, the chapter and verse we keep quoting is found in every scripture. Amen Neurogenesis1:29…Manny here.

Genesis I:11,12 “He/she makes it.”

Genesis IX:3 “He/she reaffirms it.”

Just as a point, I’m not a fanatic…far from it… because…I’m an individualist…but…”my Faith”…
not religion…is based on trust and belief. I believe
in “Manna” as the Holy Sacrament for CDXX Communion. When you think about it…what other reason do I need… but to embrace God’s word.

Ya know…it doesn’t matter what religion one follows, the chapter and verse we keep quoting is found in every scripture. Amen

RE:
Mantis,
- As I’ve said before, elsewhere,
a God-Given plant should NOT be on a
more restrictive “schedule” than isolated, synthetic compounds based upon that plant’s derivatives,
(As if plants should be on any schedule to begin with…).

- As for chicken soup, galangal-root,
a traditional spice-ingredient in east-Asian / Thai cuisine, (hot and sour soup),
is forbidden by recent, (as of 2005), Louisianna state law that bans whole list of plants that
might be psychoactive in excessive amounts.
