In Boulder, Colorado, it is now possible to buy and smoke weed for religious purposes, 100% legally (for now at least).

The THC Ministry sells pot to pretty much anybody who agrees to use it for spiritual purposes.

The procedure is pretty simple: All you need is $50 in cash, a valid identification and the ‘Cannabis Minister’ will make you an ‘Ordained Cannabis Minister’. After that, you can buy as much marijuana from him as you want, 100% legally.

You may have difficulty getting the same luxury at a medical marijuana dispensary though. In fact, you’re more likely to get laughed at and turned away.

The minister however, says that the whole thing is 100% legal and that if you’re caught with religious marijuana, you can fight it in court. He may, in fact, be right about that. A US Federal court recently ruled that Rastafarians have the right to smoke marijuana for religious purposes. The minister also stated that the THC Ministry is international. Now of course, every country has different laws with regard to what is classified as ‘religious purposes’. So whilst this may be 100% legal (for now) in the United States, all those ‘religious cannabis smokers’ worldwide (including myself) who have just read this and got all giddy with excitement, don’t hold your breath…
