Religion:

Though there are many ancient religions that have been associated with using cannabis, several passages can be found in the modern bible that suggest that cannabis should be received with thanksgiving, and not demonized.

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat." … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31)

The Bible predicts some herb's prohibition. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall … speak lies in hypocrisy … commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-3)

What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’ ...Peter said, “explain the parable to us.”Are you still so dull?” jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’ for out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, and slander. These are what makes a man ‘unclean’;but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean.’ (Matthew 15:11, 15-20)
