Minister tells court marijuana is a sacrament
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19833390/

LOS ANGELES - The mail-order minister of a Hollywood church that burns marijuana during services and allegedly sells it to members says that’s protected under federal law because the drug is a religious sacrament.

But Judge Mary Strobel has ruled that the Reverend Craig X. Rubin can’t use federal law as a defense because he faces only state charges.

Rubin, who’s representing himself at his drug trial, says members of his Temple 420 believe that marijuana is the tree of life mentioned in the Bible.

1. Regardless. Genesis says every plant on earth was put here for us to consume
and do with as we wish.

Republicans are Anti-God
