THC ministry?

So just last night a man by the name of Steven Swalick was arrested near my home town for growing upwards of 100 plants. When questioned about the plants swalick replied that he was a minister of the THC ministry. After some research i have found that this is actually a legitimate religion. Who thinks he will walk? Who thinks he will be charged?

well i mean we do have freedom of religion by the constitution, and the THC ministry clearly states that cannabis is used as a sacrament. But im just wondering if anyone has heard of someone using the religion arguement and having it work.

I have never heard of it working, but heard many stories of people trying......... sure makes you think about how strong our "Bill of Rights" is huh.

There is also a temple 420 that is along the same lines, and supposedly there are some major court decisions to back them all up. But really both places charge you like $100 or more a year to be a member, so it sounds like a way to get money. But it may server as a federal defense, maybe. So if you are the paranoid type and either don't have a med rec or just want more insurance it may be a good idea.
