Quite a few years before legalization, I saw at a reststop some van that was advertising for a Christian church that was pot smoking. :)

Or Hail Marys with multiple marijuana hits.

Hail Mary Jane! At least get her name right.

>many freepers worship at that altar...sadly....

Might need a few cites on the missing facts, but all I’ve seen is a dilligaf about those that choose to partake of nature and alcohol.

04:20 happens once a day and 4/20 once a year.

Four and twenty years ago ...

As if my once conservative state is not enough of a laughingstock already. It is sad what the liberals have turned this beautiful place into.

.... I think the Rastafarians were the first to qualify for legally smoking ganja as a form of worship. So it is possible.

It’s not my take that an ounce or even two of wine signifying Christ’s blood, would dent the senses whatsoever.

I get your point, but I don’t think it plays.

Many stoners practice a form of idolatry- they just don’t recognize it, since their god is actually a chemical.

peace to you, it is not what goes in that defiles us, its whatwe say..rightiousness does not come through physical things...suffering for God. and accepting the truth of God when angels or messengers appear is all that is given as rightiousness in the Bible
..

For me, if it is the church of pot, it is foolishness, if it is an acceptance of the church community in the church of God through Christ..it may do some good..

I am an old guy, smoked pot in the late sixties, did no good for me,but saw it was not the evil it is said to be,overuse in folks leads to a lazy life but from the experience realized that man had no clue about prosecuting folks for what God made.
It is a political money grab like everything else babylon the whore wants..the government brings it in, they distribute it(iran Contra)and then arrest folks and jail them to make profit on the prison then release them with a criminal record to have no future..It is blasphemy against the Lord..Who is Man to decide what God gives can or can not be used, the main reason it is not legal is they are making so much, the pharmacies with depression pills, belting out pollutants are happy that mankind cant grow their own relaxation in the back yard..

church of pot..rediculous, folks who love God and smoke pot, stop the crucifixion of Christ and stop prosecuting the things made from God and the freedom of choices..

a plastic concrete world is not what God calls us too either eh?

I guess what kind of tipped me off, was the idea it was centered around pot.

I’m not going to go after another church member who smokes pot.

That’s between him and his maker.

Starting a church on the basis of pot smoking as a central theme? I’m not convinced that’s a central theme of Christ’s efforts.

I miss Tom Snyder and the way he often used to have crazies on and just let ‘em talk for our amusement. He sure would have no lack of guests today. Enjoy the colortinis!

Deaths from other drugs are following the ascent of pot.

Don't tell me "It's safe".

I found an online list of Snyder’s show topics—oh, to have a show like that today. TV talk shows in the ‘70s (Dick Cavette, David Suskind, even Firing Line and other shows I can’t recall) were so much more interesting, diverse, entertaining, and informative than today’s garbage.
