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.

    What other "religion" has prison camps?

    This. [wikipedia.org]
    And this. [dailydot.com]

    What other "religion" requires followers to give extremely detailed accounts of their activities which are recorded and used later for blackmail when those folks want to leave the "religion"?

    You have to be kidding, right? How may people are cut off from their families for coming out as gay or athiest? If that is not blackmail I don't know what is.
