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.

Being born with a higher amount of melanin is still used as an excuse to remove people's opportunity to compete. These people claim that they think niggers are objectively not human and less capable than humans, physically and mentally. This is the kind of thing I was talking about, not that people who are physically incapable of doing something should be considered on even grounds with people who are physically capable. Its not discrimination when a person in a wheelchair isn't hired for a job that specifically requires walking, climbing ladders, and heavy lifting to high places, but it is discrimination if they won't hire the person in a wheelchair for any job they can do simply because of the wheelchair.
