Guide for medical cannabis ministers
and medical marijuana ministers
This is a Guide for medical cannabis ministers and medical marijuana ministers.
This Guide outlines some of the topics you may need to prepare for in order to have a successful legal defense in both federal (U.S.) and state (California) court for working as a medical marijuana minister or medical cannabis minister in a California medical cannabis collective, dispensary, or cooperative.
Exact material will vary greatly by religion. I provide examples from my own religion, although many of the examples may not apply to your religion. You will want to prepare your own defense, probably with the help of a lawyer skilled in first amendment and criminal law.
Goddess of Cannabis Witchcraft
There are many different Goddesses of Cannabis and Witchcraft from every culture around the world.
The most important Goddess of Cannabis Witchcraft is Bast (ancient Egyptian name). The center of worship of Bast at Per-Bastet (which the Greeks called Bubastis) in the 18th Sepat (which the Greeks called a nome) of the Nile Delta, Am Khent (which translates as the Prince of the South).
Portions of a red granite foundation are all that remain of the worlds largest temple, the main Temple of Bast on the main island of the Am Khent sepat.
Bast: Bast, or Bastet, is one of the oldest of the Kemetic neteru. The city of Per-Bastet, capital of the Am Khent sepat (or state), was dedicated to the worship of Bast. Bast is a very complex and complete Goddess. She if often described as the Goddess of cats and usually depicted as a beautiful human woman with the head of a cat. She is also the Goddess of cannabis and every cannabis plant is a physical embodiment of Bast. All followers of Am Khent Kemeticism are required by their religion to honor Bast, cats, and cannabis.
The Greeks called this same Goddess Artemis. The Temple of Artemis (or Diana) at Ephesus was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The Romans called this Goddess Diana.
The Germans called this Goddess Easter. The famous Germanic holy day of Easter, held on the first day of the sun following the first Full Moon after the Spring (or vernal) Equinox, is a celebration of this Goddess and the return of spring. The use of baskets of grass filled with eggs and carried by a mythical rabbit are all symbols of Easters role as the primary Goddess of fertility.

The courts have already ruled in multiple cases that a person who starts preparing a religious defense (including gathering certificates and other paperwork) after arrest loses all chance to use the late religious defense. It is essential that you prepare your defense before you are arrested. Adequate preparation may even prevent arrest. With that in mind, doesnt it make sense for at least one collective owner somewhere to pay me minimum wage to work on preparing these materials on a full time basis? Even the most callous cooperative owner should realize that low paid workers facing prison sentences are likely to change sides and testify for the police? On the other hand, if the workers have a religious defense ready then they need not fear going to prison and have no incentive to testify against the owner. I dont care how jaded and selfish a dispensary owner is, it just makes good sense to have a strong religious defense ready for your workers.
