Is this for real, or just like the thugs in the ghetto?

Hey there JA,

Aloha. Thanks for being real about it. I to I. One
request: please read this, think about it and then
talk with God again.

I see you and raise you one. Your move.

You're right about your feelings, Cannabis is supposed
to be free. God gave it to us for free. No one needs
to pay for their herb, for their religious beliefs or
for their religious practices. That's all free today,
tomorrow and yesterday.

Grow herb = free.
Think Cannabis freedom = free.
Practice Cannabis sacrament = free.

I don't ask people to pay for any of that.

Prohibition of the herb makes the price go high. I
fight prohibition. In court, in the newspapers, in
the streets every day for the last twenty years - on
the record.

I grounded all the helicopters here looking for herb
for one full year in 2000. I helped to prosecute the
prosecutor here and won. I work it - all the time.
Gaining ground for the Cannabis culture one inch at a time.
It takes alittle money and a lot of time to do it. So?
People either freely choose to help
support this action with donations, or
they're free to go down the road and do
whatever they want to do for free.

You've heard it before, "Freedom isn't free."
True. It's an investment. A crucial, invaluable
investment in the quality of life. We fight for freedom
and some people see fit to help sponsor us. Simple.

I ask for $ support to help pay for our proven
documents, our website services, our full-time
minister (me), our great office/Sanctuary on the
oceanfront in Hawai'i, our next lawsuits and more.
Those who can donate help to pay for those who can't.
It works out, and I know it could be better, too. If
you have any ideas to improve on this method I'd love
to hear them. Really.

I also give-away scholarships for free every month.
Everyone is welcome here - with money or without.
Everybody smiles at the THC Ministry, or we fix it
until they do. :-}

I invite you to come and see this ministry for
yourself, I to I. I'll pick you up at the Hilo
airport any time and put you up at our ministry
Sanctuary for free. Come see for yourself and then
decide.

You can be my next scholarship - for free. E-me your
name and mailing address and I'll send you one of our
1-2-3 Kits for free tomorrow. Judge for yourself.
Then tell me true. OK? Your move.

Your Cannabis brother who you haven't met,

Roger Christie, Founder

hi Roger,

don't forget that God gave us
fruit and vegetables, grains, salt,tobbaco, oil, sugar for free to help us,
so why not Cannabis?

Sad

Hello Sara and everyone,

Aloha. I don't get your point here. Have I forgotten that God gave us everything? Of course God gave us everything to make free-will choices about, Cannabis included. So? What's that got to do with the man's sincere comments and my answer about this ministry's motives and methods?

Thanks for your help with this. I could be missing something here that you're more able to see.

All the best to you,

Roger

Am I hearing *complaining* about you starting the THC-Ministry? Or is this just lashing out against not giving away free sacrament to everyone in the world?

I'm one of the recipients of the Scholarship. I proudly framed and displayed my Sancutary Sign the day it arrived. I also carry my Ministry ID with me everywhere I go, taking comfort in the protection it offers me.

There is no scam, no decree to sell all your worldly possessions and send the cash to Hawai'i. There are no member dues to be paid, no enforced donations like other religious groups (majority of churches claim god wants us to hand over 10%). The fact is, under U.S. law, you don't have to be a member of a religious group to claim religious immunity, although having proper Ministry ID goes a lot farther than "Hi Officer, there's this website I found..."

If you want to discuss unnatural acts, how about banning Cannabis and then selling us Marinol for $10 a pill?

Once again, I received my Ministry Documents over a year ago and not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for Roger's efforts.

I admit at first when I saw the kit and read about the ministry I questioned if it was real.......just like everyone I've told about it. It did take a bit longer than I thought to get my kit, and even though Roger answered all my e-mails. I know now (as we all do) Roger is just one man.....and a busy one. With that said this next message is for the idiot who first e-mailed you

1. YOU CAN JOIN FOR FREE READ THE DAMN HOME PAGE

2. MOST LAWYERS CHARGE AT LEAST $200 AN HOUR FOR LEGAL ADVICE

3. YOU ARE PAYING FOR ROGER'S TIME AND WORK TO GIVE US LEGAL INFO

4. ROGER WORKS FOR US (in a way) WE PAY HIM TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS

5. JUST LIKE ANY FULL TIME MINISTER ROGER HAS TO EAT TOO!

Sorry its just that who couldn't figure that one out!?!?!?!? I mean man some people........

Very well stated.

It's not by Roger's choice that this world only operates on money. I think Roger himself, and many of our ministers would prefer a world without money. The donation given for the packet only helps to further Roger's work. I bought my 1-2-3 kit, and Roger graciously granted me a full legal kit and some of his healing anointing oil when I needed it most. This man is compassionate to the fullest extent...there is no extortion here. The money goes directly towards this ministry's cause, and Roger is the root of it all. Little thugs like this haven't taken the time to even begin to think what goes into all this, and what an impact it has made already. He can rest assured that the BEST thing he could do is order the kit from Roger, spend some time here listening and learning, and it also sounds like he could use a little more of the enlightening powers of the plant.

After all Roger has done for this movement, he can extort as much as he wants.

In fact, I think he should buy him a fast car and take a vacation.

He should probably buy a plane ticket and go smoke some sacrament with brother Ferre.

No objections here.

This is a man that brought John Ashcroft to his knees, and the best part is, this is only the beginning.

Hey guys,

Aloha. Thanks for the kind words of support and encouragement.

I'm really wondering lately, 'what's next?' for me. It's been 20 years this November since I embarked on this path of personal exploration through Cannabis and hemp advocacy. I think that I'm partly a remarkable success and a dismal failure, both! It's the strangest thing to me ... and it's not. Gemini forever.

I have such amazing things in place now, AND I often think that I can't go on another day this way. It would be so much easier and I would be so much more effective IF ...

if this.
if that.
if the other.

Dear God, spirit, nature. I give thanks for all the many wonderful blessings that have been and are showered upon me from my birth until today. And I'm open to an ever more gloriously possible future. Mahalo ke akua. Thanks for everything!

All the best to you,

Roger
