In a word - NO! Unfortunately. I have done some research on this subject and if you are caught using Pot you can not successfully use membership in this church to win your case. It's not that you don't have a right to use pot, but that the government acting in it's own self interest has taken that right away from you. And since they have more guns than you have --- they have the power to impose their insanity upon the masses.

We in America live in a country where the common man on the street has a better understanding of constitutional law than our Supreme Court. Take for example their recent decision to allow the police to arrest people on charges that carry no jail term. They decided that you can be arrested for not wearing a seat belt even though the crime is punishable by fine only. This allows the cops to throw anyone in jail for any reason they want. You could be arrested for jaywalking! is it Constitutional just because the Supreme Court says it is? NO - it is not.

If anyone asks if you smoke pot -- just say no.

The reality is -- the Supreme Court can break the law and undermine the Constitution and get away with it. They are a branch of the government and often acts in it's own self interest rather than in the interest of the government and the money that is behind those interests. They have the power --- and they have more guns --- but that doesn't make their decisions either right or constitutional. There is a difference between being right and having power.

There are a lot of selfish interests behind the prohibition of marijuana and other drugs. Drug addiction is a medical problem -- not a criminal problem. But the war on drugs has become a tool of the government to expand government control over the masses. The drug war brought us civil forfeiture laws and has led to America having the highest prison population in the world. Free thinking people are a threat to the institutions that oppress us and want to control us. Without the justification of the "War on Drugs" the government wouldn't have the excuses to try to read our email because they are looking for "Drug Dealers". But there really is no "War on Drugs" --- just a war on freedom --- using drugs as an excuse.

Just like the Mormons have to pretend they aren't into poligamy anymore to satisfy the state - we have to acknowledge that they have more guns - therefore we don't condone the use of drugs.

It is my hope that some day when Reality is more universally accepted that we will eliminate many stupid laws such us the prohibition on harmless substances such are pot. And the first step in that process is to continue to recognize and assert reality --- and demand that laws be passed based upon the principles of recognizing what it real.
