Marijuana nuns

This makes me laugh:
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/25/california-cannabis-medical-marijuana-nuns-sisters-of-the-valley

"Cannabis-growing nuns grapple with California law: 'We are illegal'

The Sisters of the Valley, who say they do not follow any traditional religion, hope they can make marijuana ‘a healing industry instead of a stoner industry’

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

They aren't the first to try to make pot a religious protection issue; thus far it hasn't worked.

This one isn't about pot though but about hemp and health. So more in the tradition of Kellogg and Quakers. They had religious health roots to start with.

I've seen this topic heading several times.  This time I read it as Marijuana runs.   :poop:

True, but these people are white.

There is more in history about religious groups around pot than Rastafarian belief.

Where's Zegh?
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Not sure what that means.

Meaning that racism factored in previous failed attempts to make pot a religious protection issue.  :police:

Must have missed those. Can recall hearing of a couple of instances of groups attempting to establish churches with pot as a religious practice; one was near childhood home town so recall that one best. They were white.

Maybe he's talking about the native americans, but their basis of argument is one of sovereignty from outside laws, not using those outside laws to protect religious freedoms. Plus the Indians were successful, because they aren't white. Maybe that's what he means.

Maybe Hubert is talking about things like that.

I'll ask him.

Hubert, can you clarify what were you talking about when saying this:
True, but these people are white.
?
