“In a decision of startling breadth,” she wrote, “the Court holds that commercial enterprises, including corporations, along with partnerships and sole proprietorships, can opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs.” Uh, yeah, and?

So a corporation owned by Rastafarians can sell marijuana?

Certain Indian tribes are allowed to possess, transport, and use peyote and mescaline. They can't sell it to others though. That is in fact one of the cases behind the passage of the RFRA. I would assume the same holds true of rastafarians as well.

If you go for a pastrami sandwich to Bens Kosher Deli chain in NY and you enter with an infant on a bottle, if that bottle is dairy you will be asked to remove it. The restaurant will supply a juice bottle. if you refuse, you will be refused service and asked to leave, Signs to this effect are on every table. So the ownership is basically requiring the consumer to comply with its rigorous religious dietary laws. All Hobby Lobby wanted was to not be required to pay for services it believes to be sinful and immoral. It would not ask that it be allowed to take action against an employee who used the drug in question.
