When the bible mentions "herb", I seriously doubt that it specifically means marijuana. But otherwise, I'm in favor of taking power away from politicians.

Herb: a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities.

It certainly qualifies as an herb. The particular herb in question contains the most complete and absorbable combination of amino acids required by the human body for sustenance of any plant or meat on the face of the Earth. I point this out becuase usually people find fault in the use clause of the quotation and 'food' or 'meat' makes more sense relative to this efficient protein source. In addition Strong's Concordance has the word translated as 'food" to be:

'oklah (ok-law');  Noun Feminine, Strong #: 402

  1. food
    1. food, eating
    2. object of devouring, consuming
      1. by wild beasts (figurative)
      2. in fire
      3. of judgment (figurative)
KJV Word Usage and Count
meat 8
devour 3
fuel 3
eat 2
consume 1
food 1
