We encounter all kinds on nonsense about marijuana and religion. The latest comes from Hawaii where a certain “minister” – Roger Christie – declares the almighty functioning of pot. Christie prouds himself of being a minister of the Universal Life Church, which makes it even more suspicious. Anybody could be ordained minister through that business. Just go to the website of the “church” and get “ordained”, free of charge, and for life. Then you can try to claim your right to smoke pot as part of your religion.

Anybody with more than two brain cells should be able to figure out that this is pot nonsense at its worst.

As reported by by New York Times, The courts will probably be loath to allow Mr. Christie his humorous, personal, idiosyncratic religion. If we could all have our own religions, the courts would have a lot more defendants claiming their religions require drug use. Besides, he may not be the ideal crusader for religious marijuana. According to the government, the THC Ministry offered a “sanctuary kit” that included a cognac-and-cannabis “tincture” — the recommended donation was $1,000. And in its brief, the government quotes transcriptions of wiretapped conversations in which Mr. Christie sounds like a drug dealer haggling over prices, not a man of God serving his people’s spiritual needs.
