INDIANAPOLIS The First Church of Cannabis filed a lawsuit Wednesday (July 8) against the state of Indiana and city of Indianapolis, challenging state laws on possession and use of marijuana as infringing upon religious beliefs.
The complaint, filed in Marion County Circuit Court, contends that cannabis is the churchs sacrament and its members believe marijuana brings us closer to ourselves and others.
We are taking legal action today to ensure love has no barriers in our land, said Bill Levin, Church of Cannabis founder, in front of the Indiana Statehouse.
Today we invite the state of Indiana and all its leaders to joyfully meet us in a court of law for clarifications on our core religious values, he said. We look forward to engaging them on the high plane of dignity and discipline, with love and compassion in our hearts, to find a swift and sensible answer for our questions of religious equality.
