Actually.... It's a proven fast that cannabis has [PROVEN] medical use in the states, and is therefore illegally scheduled as a schedule 1 Drug.
The DEA has NO RIGHT to prosecute you and niether does any law enforcement.
Carl Olsen is working on getting this offiacialized right now... |

Yes, Carl Olson is doing great work. I only wished that Roger Christie would be more active in supporting him, instead of trying to be the next American mayor in occupied Hawaiian territory en boasting how great he is and praising jeebus while at it.

Then it should warm your heart a little to know that Roger and myself have both recently made a financial commitment to Carl to help with his work.
How about you, Ferre? ... How much have you contributed to these efforts?

A not more than a normal thing to do.

Much. not in your country perhaps but as a board member and chairman for a while with the Dutch Legalize organization for the Netherlands en ENCOD on European level I've spend more than a fair effort to our cause (and still do) and been (compared to other areas in the world) successful to change policies towards, recreational, medicinal and spiritual uses of Cannabis in such a manner that people don't go to jail for a plant in most parts of Europe and where it's legal in other places, like here in the Netherlands and a couple of other European countries where itīs de-criminalized.
In fact, every single day we still have to actively oppose the Christian parties in Europe and my own country because they never stop trying to strengthen the prohibition and sneak laws in to re-criminalize Cannabis. The efforts I personally add to our cause can not even be expressed in money Brother Stokes, it's a life-work and only ends when those bastards stop trying to enforce their tyranny on me and my brothers and sisters here, in my part of the woods.
Do you want me to fight your cause too Stokes? As far as I know there are more Cannabis users in the states than the entire population of my country, do you have such problems getting their support that you need mine on top of the commitment for the cause I already have here? _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

every conviction i found their is always the question of when u joined the church many peoples proof showed that they joined after their "bummer", and #2 it is hard to say it was sincere religious belief, if ur got any selling charges churches work for free and donations keep us growing
when u join after the bust the "blessing" reefered to is for future use. You probably cant find a case were it worked out right because the da doesnt pick up cases it cant win, if u r legit and didnt join after the fact, and arent busted with any thing to be construed as selling, they will drop a simple possesion ticket to save time and money and even MORE IMPORTANT NOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF AN NOT GUILTY VERDICT ON RELIGIOUS MARIJUANA USE.
google "new jesey weed man" for the most indepth post to this subject and all legal paper work pertaining to it
or
i got a link on my website www.greenfaithministry.com _________________ Life is not about needs and wants Its not about good and bad Life is about happiness-yours,mine,everyones happy THATS IT!!!

Sorry I can't see how money makes the ministry grow I would have thought members make a religion grow, and we are not talking about doantions we are talking about the 123 kit. As far as I know Jesus never said "buy my kit and become a christian."
This is where the kit is misleading, what are you buying, a get out of jail free card or a membership or a wonderful church in Hawaii. Is your leader a true religious man or a good business man.
I will give you the kit for nothing.
Don't sell Cannabis,
Don't buy Cannabis,
and if you get caught growing first thing you say is "no, you mean it's illegal, I never knew that."
Oh and don't let anyone know you come to these sites as 'THEY' search these sites and know who the trouble makers are.
All for free and you don't have to become a member and sit by your bed every night praying to Jesus or hang I'm a nutter and gullible certificates on the wall. |

I don't know if you realize this Stokes, but I AM fighting YOUR American case down here. It is against the AMERICAN drugs laws we fight all over the world, it's the AMERICAN government who pushes al other countries to comply and submit to their insanity. If it wasn't for America countries like mine would NOT be under pressure to re-criminalize Cannabis.
In fact, the world suffers from this war-on-drugs because the American people make bad choices when they vote, the American people have brought us the war on drugs. (and illegal wars in the middle east. They voted for a bunch of criminals who created terrorism to be able to fight their war on terror, just as they create many other "problems" first and declare a "war" as soon as they have created their very much needed enemies.)
When you really analyse the issue, "America" is the main cause of the problem Stokes, all those holier-than-thou-flag-waving-christian-Americans are the problem and every single activist all over the world is fighting YOUR cause. _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

Ferre, I'm no happier than you are with the way American politicians promote and conduct their wars, or the way they create political and economic enemies.
It's going to take a lot of work from people on both sides of the pond to undo the damage that has already been done, and also the damage that continues to be done. It doesn't matter what race, nationality, or religion any of us are, we are ALL fighting for the same thing ... Freedom.
The simple freedom to do as we wish with our own bodies and minds, as long as we do not harm others in the process.
Please remember that everyone in America, and those who support Roger Christie's efforts in particular, are not ALL moronic evangelical Christian fundamentalists. The majority of us are sensible and practical enough to overlook any one individual's belief system and work toward the common goal that we all share, the liberation of our sacred herb Cannabis.
If people come here to these forums and see that the leaders of the two main THC Ministries are not even able to leave their religious prejudices at the door before entering their own temples, then all that does is send a clear message to the world that we are not truly committed to our goal, because we can't even act with the integrity and tolerance that our multi-faith label suggests.
It also brings our credibility into question, big time. And you know as well as I do that solid credibility is a key component in being taken seriously where our efforts regarding Cannabis liberation are concerned.
Let's all work together, not against each other.
That's all I'm asking.

The Amsterdam Cannabis Ministry is not a "multi-faith" ministry Stokes. The Amsterdam Cannabis Ministry is a Kantheist ministry. Our members are Kantheists, not christians, muslims, hindus or otherwise.
We started out with the idea that people with other religious dominations were welcome but that didn't work out. Christians can't handle "multi-faith", they kept on evangelizing as soon as they joined and attempted to "christianize" this ancient religion and this caused many of our members to turn their back on us, sick and tired of being confronted with evangelizing posts full of bible scriptures from christian infiltrators who do not come here to learn from others but to teach their christian gospel.
Christians apparently believe that "multi faith" means that they can dominate a community and christianize it. They have their tactics, they usually clutter the boards with bible quotes and even use bible quotes to reply to people's questions and create an atmosphere where ONLY their fellow christians feel comfortable with, thus pushing all other people away. Whether they are willingly and calculative doing this or out of other reasons doesn't matter, fact is that they behave in such a manner that only their fellow believers can stomach them and we do not accept this any more. We found that Christians, as a group, have too much disrespect for others and can't behave socially in a multi faith environment, they take over, dominate, and anyone who dares to critisize this disrespectful behaviour becomes the target of a campaign painting the critic as a bigot and the christians as poor victims of discrimination and violations of their freedom of speech.
Besides, christianity is in conflict with our basic tenets which INCLUDES MODERN SCIENCE. Modern science proves that their core believe system is based on irrational thought, the believe in imaginary friends and imaginary torture in an imaginary place for eternity as a punishment for not accepting their delusions. We've had one-too-many of them telling us we are "lost" and need to be "saved", let them go save somewhere else, there's no place for them here. Their believe system is based on fear; The fear of being punished for eternity when one does not submit to enslave one's mind to christian doctrines. This sort of emotional blackmail and indoctrination goes beyond any reason and sense of morals, it's just plain wrong. _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

Ferre,
I understand the difficulties you mention, and I thank you for the explanation.
... although I must admit that some confusion still exists for me and for many others as well.
Allow me to explain.
"Hello Friend, whoever and wherever you are ..."
The above words are from the first line, in the first post, on the 'welcome' thread of these forums ... and how true are they?
You are advertising 'THC Ministry' at the top of these forums, but your words in the last post you made on this thread make known, in no uncertain terms, that you want absolutely nothing to do with the Christians that may be included in that THC Ministry group.
Maybe to avoid any further confusion in this area for new and prospective members, you could eliminate the words 'THC Ministry Amsterdam' at the top of your page and change them to what you've more accurately described as 'The Amsterdam Cannabis Ministry' or 'TAC Ministry'.
Also, there is a clear link directly to 'The Hawai'i Cannabis Ministry' at the bottom of your pages that claims you are an affiliated 'member' of THC Ministry. And if I'm not mistaken, The Hawai'i Cannabis Ministry is still a multi-faith/non-denominational ministry that does not exclude Christians or any others.
If I were a new member here (Christian or non), I would be a bit confused by this approach to say the least. In fact, recently I noticed a welcome post from you to a new member, 'McCool', where that person's obvious Christian style was welcomed by you with open arms. Yet, between Yourself, David, and Adam (3 of the primary posters on these forums) there exists an undeniably strong tendency toward anti-christian/anti-THC Ministry opinions.
How long were you planning on waiting to share your real feelings toward Christians with this new member, McCool ... or any other new members for that matter? After the last post you made in this thread, you certainly can't expect to hide the truth of your feelings for much longer.
If you wish to remain affiliated with Roger and the THC Ministry for whatever reasons, maybe the only honorable thing for you to do in this kind of situation would be to waste no time sending obvious Christians directly to the Hawai'i Ministry forums so that they are not left with a bad feeling for our organization as a whole.
It's simply a matter of doing the right thing, for unselfish reasons. So please don't exercise your right to hurl insults and accusations at me after reading this, because I'm only trying see things as all new members would ... and hopefully to make things more amicable for everyone involved.
peace and love (no Jeebus) to you,
Stokes _________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please Stokes,
Don't bring me into your confusion.
Multi faiths will never live in harmony, I believe in freedom and christianity believes in serving. Jews hate christians, muslims hate christians.
Christians do not believe in freedom.
Anyway as far as I know everyone on the hawaiian site arn't christians either they are more like christ himself, which if you listen to a true christian they would take that as an insult, no-one is allowed to claim being an image of the holy one. Maybe because they would need to be free which christians are not allowed to be, they must serve.
It's all too confusing to me. rather just not talk about a book that was written to make you obey by fear. |

Stokes with all due respect, If you don't understand by now I doubt you ever will. Thats ok. you can still show respect for people without understanding and just move on. Some questions in life just go unanswered and the best thing to do is just let it be. Thats why you have your God .when there is something you can't deal with or know how to your supposed to give it up to him. You do know the serenity prayer? anyways I don't want to see this place get turned upside down again. Mallory Jade no Jeebus for me either thanks!  _________________ Happy to be here. |
