rELIGIOUS FREEDOM TO SELL MARIJUANA AS A DEFENSE? HOW DUMB IS THIS?
yOU KNOW, SOMETIMES OUR CLIENTS ARE PRETTY WACKY. BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE.
The defendant has a business, Temple 420, in Hollywood. It was a church in which members could buy marijuana. The defendant planned to sell marijuana from vending machines. The defendant said he was trying to bring religion to the pot movement because there are a million people trying to legalize pot and a lot of them don't have God in their lives.
The defendnat sold marijuana to an undercover officer. Surprisingly, he got convicted of sale
of marijuana. On appeal, he claims a religious freedom defense. Rejected. Duh.
