In a classic case of "unintended consequences", the recently signed Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in Indiana may have opened the door for the establishment of the First Church of Cannabis in the Hoosier State.

While Governor Mike Pence (R) was holding a signing ceremony for the bill allowing businesses and individuals to deny services to gays on religious grounds or values, paperwork for the First Church of Cannabis Inc. was being filed with the Secretary of State's office, reports RTV6.

Church founder Bill Levin announced on his Facebook page that the church's registration has been approved, writing, "Status: Approved by Secretary of State of Indiana - "Congratulations your registration has been approved!" Now we begin to accomplish our goals of Love, Understanding, and Good Health."

Levin is currently seeking $4.20 donations towards his non-profit church.

    Those are the worst kind of pothead...always listening to Reggae, constantly in a dazed stupor from smoking and eating Marijuana, glued to the couch, having spent more on their bong collection than their car (which always has a pipe in the glovebox and roach ash all inside their door pockets).

    There's nothing wrong with smoking pot. There is something wrong with being religious about it. Yeah, I get it, you like to get fucked up. Me too. But unless you're a legitimate medical case, don't insult my intelligence by saying it's anything other than wanting to be fucked up.
