Why would medical marijuana patients care about religion?

The main reason churches oppose it is because it makes people realise what bullshitters they are!

thank you for bringing this under a broader attention.judges should be secularand shouldnever have religion interfere with their judgements,with these kind of people it makes ya wonder,even if they die they're replaced by the same kind of religious mofo's who are never going to be sympathetic towards the plight of cannabisusersand the use of other entheogenic drugs.suppression and discouragement ,fear and disinformation are their tools.they really don't like people opening their minds and eyes.we know better,let's spread that knowledge!don't give up the fight!

I was raised Catholic and even got confirmed. I think they confirm people at that age (~16?) because they're almost adults but can't quite think for themselves yet. Sneaky. Anyway, are there any other (ex-)Catholics here? Has anyone tried to write to their local Bishop? Maybe I'll give that a try.

I was raised as a Catholic---strictly. I was educated at a convent and served as an altar boy 3 times a week. I always appreciated a quick swig of wine after the service when the priest wasn't around. Smile

My parents lapsed when I was 14( they didn't agree with Pope Paul VI's rejecting the birth control pill in '66 ) and that was that. From then for me it was all hell let loose...THE 60s!!!! Yippee!!! LSD and Cannabis and the whole hippie scene pretty much did the trick, folks. And a lengthy trip to India.

Anyway, entheogens put the priests out of business with their monopolistic stranglehold on people's yearning for the sacred. The last thing the church wants is a direct line to God being available to the suffering masses. Personal experience of the divine is the last thing thing they want the faithful to have. It would free them of mind control, release them from slavish obedience to sad old men.
