Mahalo for printing the piece on Boulder 'bud' ("Hooked on 'Ponics," Feb. 8-14). It makes for real good reading on one of the most controversial issues on the planet. I would like to offer my suggestion to enjoyers of cannabis in your area: Explore the First Amendment religious freedom for your cultivation and use of cannabis sacrament. I am the first person in the nation to be licensed by a state as a "cannabis sacrament" minister for the purpose of marrying people. I have over 13,000 people protected by my ministry's paperwork. As far as I know, all of us are enjoying our sacrament in peace. Cannabis was the active ingredient in the holy anointing oil of Exodus, and "Christ" literally means to be 'anointed.' Anointed with what? Cannabis, of course! If cannabis was used in anointing the Christ, then the war on cannabis is literally the anti-Christ. The Rev.
