It is so encouraging to see a productive conversation concerning the drug on a mainstream Christian message board such as Christianity.com. For years ago, I was banned from Crosswalk for participating, not initiating, in a conversation because I supported legalization. Most recently, my minister's license was suspended for my position on this issue.

I have always believed that when enough people in the Christian community began to seriously look at this whole issue, the deceptions that caused their support of these unjust policies would be evident and they would take a strong stand against them. After all, it is something to rejoice over when we discover that we do not have to alienate and incarcerate the ones we love or the ones we are commanded to love.

As these discussions by believers become more common it will only be a matter of time before we see these laws changed.

I was refreshed to see other Christians that aprove of the legalisation of marijuana. I am not a user myself, but I have started a campaign here in Australia to get it depenalized.
It is a big uphill battle, but one we will win, God Willing. It is a very unjust law.

Keep praying. God bless, Jean
