I’m watching this one closely. Freedom of religion means that the State can’t tell you what to believe. It means that your religion, whether you’re a member of a mainstream sheep-fest or choose to embrace your own personal religion, is NOT to be fucked with. That means, if your religious beliefs are not in opposition to getting high, you should be able to get high. If you are opposed to getting high, you don’t have to…but you MUST allow those who have no religious predisposition against it, to do what they want. Just because YOUR god says it’s wrong, doesn’t give you the right to tell me…or NJ Weedman…what OUR God thinks about it. So, I suggest you STFU before we start telling you how to practice YOUR religion. ~jg<\/p>\n
