THC Ministry... Another scam or not?

So i've been hearing alot about the THC Ministry, lately. Without mentioning any names, certain so-called 'Ministers' of the THC Ministry have been throwing the term 'Religious protection' around. So I decided to look into it - it sounded like a good idea.. I even thought about getting together with a load of people over here and starting the same sanctuary type thing.. But, then, BAM... I found it.. The hidden catch.. Apparantly, to gain religious protection from the THC Ministry you have to send them $200!... What kind of religion asks for money so you can join them!?!? Surely i'm mistaken. Also, certain 'Ministers of THC' have been asking for donations of weed for their 'sanctuaries'..

To me it sounds like another money making scheme.. if it is another scam, then people should know about it

So, to any members of the THC Ministry or to any THC Ministers on this site, im calling you out.. Whats the score?

I know, Ghost, I find the whole thing very confusing even though Patecius has tried his best to explain the concept of the Ministry to me. I can't, with a clean conscious, say that I use marijauna for religious purposes. A. I don't believe in God. B. I smoke weed to get high. Plain and simple. Though some of my experiences have been enlightening, my reasons for smoking have absolutely nothing to do with religion. C. I don't think the cops or a judge would take the religious protection contest seriously at all. If that works, then that would mean we could commit absolutely any crime under the sun and claim "religious" reasons for doing so. D. Although I do believe the Ministries intentions are good, it is not for me.

Hmm. the only reason I get high is for spiritual reasons, but I would not say religious. I'm don't get me wrong, I like getting high, but I specifically place myself in situations before I get high to have a spiritual setting and have insight to learn from every experience.

Oh GHoST, you always ask the wrong question :p
You should have asked: "What religion does NOT require you to part with wealth?"
A far easier thing to answer lmaooo
