Church Of Marijuana Gets Boost From Indiana's Anti-Gay 'Religious Freedom' Bill

Unintended consequences.

Indiana's new "religious freedom" law has been widely criticized and condemned by many, but an innovative marijuana activist in the state is using the bill's legal protections as a means to set up a new religious sect -- the First Church of Cannabis, where members would aim to use marijuana freely as a sacrament in a state where the substance remains banned.

"It's a new religion for people who happen to live in our day and age," Bill Levin, the church's founder, told The Huffington Post in an interview Monday. "All these old religions, guys walking across the desert without Dr. Scholls inserts, drinking wine out of goat bladders, no compass, speaking Latin and Hebrew. [part of sentence clipped as I did not like the langauge.] I drive by Burger Kings, bars and corn fields. I cannot relate to an antique magic book."
