Here is an interview I did on the Joy TV show The Standard last fall about my current case regarding religious freedoms and the sacramental use of cannabis.

Read “Pot Activist Takes on Canadian Government” and “Cannabis Religious Challenge Update” for more information on the case.
Catholic Church VS Pot Religion
Interestingly, in the G13 Church of the Universe case, the Crown Prosecutors have called in a Catholic Priest, Roland Jacques, who calls the COU a “parody religion, and Two University Professors, Dr. Katherine Young and Dr. Paul Nathanson who claim that the COU does not fulfill there “10 characteristics of a religion”.
I am particularly excited to see the Crown has chosen a Catholic priest as a witness against the COU……..
Should be a very exciting case. Make way for the Tree of Life!
The Crown seems eager to show that the COU is not a church, because the Police may have violated certain laws in raiding a Church.
Brother Walter and Brother Michael stated recently that
“Freedom of religion has nothing at all to do with the church as a defence to trafficking marijuana for religious reasons.
“Religion is a personal freedom under the charter. No church required. The prosecutors are trying to cover their ass in case of a law suit because they did a church in violation of section 176 of the Criminal Code, which is their only interest in proving the Church is not a Church. We don’t want government recognition and it is not required to have a religion or Church or we would all be still worshiping Cesar.
“The undercover cops joined the church and did whatever they had to in order to make their bust. Thing is, the persons charged believed it was their sacred herb and that they were distributing it because it is THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEF in doing God’s work spreading the healing of the Tree of Life. The Church, in other words, the people, believe that so there is more than one has no bearing on the individuals belief or freedom and one does not need any more than their belief to make it a charter issue, right and freedom being violated. They, the government is so senseless and insensitive. We are like the early Christians and so are the stupid powers that be, as you know.”
