The First Church of Cannabis [View all]
With all the "religious freedom" and "religious restoration acts" etc going around, maybe this is a way to obtain legal access to weed! Marijuana is real. God isn't. Marijuana deserves worship a lot more than a fictional God does. When can I join?!?!
An Indiana-based church that worships marijuana has been granted tax-exempt status.
First Church of Cannabis founder Bill Levin, 59, said it took 30 days for the IRS to grant his group tax-exempt status.
Somebody at the IRS loves us, he added.
The church does not yet have a space, and its first service wont be held until July 1.
The First Church of Cannabis has raised about $11,000 so far. Its GoFundMe page reads:
Are other religions just not [satisfying] your need for spirituality? Has your faith left the standard church doctrine? Well I have an answer. I have created the FIRST CHURCH OF CANNABIS. A church based on LOVE and FAITH with the plant we know and love.
Original. I have to say, though, that this link will take you to a Fox News site, so this whole thing might just be a total crock of crap.
