Pot Smoking Church Service by Laura Walton (4)

Bill Levin, founder of the First Church of Cannabis, plans on testing Indiana’s new religious freedom law with a service full of weed. The idea came from a radio show that announced the idea that the religious freedom law could even protect a church of pot smokers and the idea arose. The governor’s office hasn’t commented on the actions of Levin but the preacher was quoted saying “come hell or high water the service will commence”.

This relates to U.S History because cannabis has been subject of major debate in our society because of the negative connotations surrounding it. As someone growing in a generation of pot smokers, I think it wise for the government to invest more understanding to those who do choose to take part in smoking.
