Caesar

Theoretically, I believe that would be us.

Says you.

Romans 13:7
Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

If I owe taxes on my cannabis I will pay it. If revenue, then revenue. The arguments and motives that were used to prohibit the use of cannabis have not earned and do not deserve respect from me. The WOsD's has not been conducted with honor, so no honor. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that "Caesar" or any authority may choose my food, drink or medicine. The only authority I have found in Scripture for that is here:

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:29
And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

If you choose to stand with an earthly authority that seeks to deny me what God has freely and expressly given then so be it. The die is cast.
