Court OKs use of religious pot on federal lands


If you're a Rastafarian who considers marijuana holy, it's legal to light up in Guam -- and maybe in any national park on the West Coast.

...

A conservative three-judge panel said a Rastafarian -- whose Jamaica-based religion regards marijuana as a sacrament that brings believers closer to divinity -- could not be federally prosecuted for merely possessing marijuana, a decision that upheld a portion of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

....

If it became a nationwide standard, it would also cover such federal enclaves as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, defense lawyers said.


I've always thought that the sacred herb brought me closer to God... and I can only imagine how satisfying it would be, to spark up an humongous, ounce-sized, foot-long Fattie of the Kind Bud, while sitting on the steps of the Capital.

I can see it now... Me with my Fattie sparked, with maybe a little Dead music wafting down the street, from the direction of the Spleef Vendor's cart. The one with the long line of customers waiting.

Must be something to that. I only tried it once, and I'm not particularly close to God...

It always made me dizzy and high, and by the time I got home from the parties my clothes were rearranged somehow.... of course I was always drinking at the same time... I don't want to revisit those years and I don't think God would approve if I did.

And all this time I thought it was church and prayer that brought one closer to God ...
