basically its an established church that found some loop hole allowing marijuana to be partaken in as a form of sacrament..if youre a member wtih a card and stuff, it is legal to smoke in all 50 states based on some supreme court ruling(all on the website)..if you get busted, the church (if youre in good standings with them) will pay for legal fees/lawyers etc to get you out of it...any members here or people considering joining?
I don't know, but I think I will join.
Interesting, but:
"Applicants must also have a credit card or U.S. checking account as a second form of identification."
Sounds a bit scammy.
Agreed, that is a little scary. Not to mention something like this would be huge and would have had to be discovered by news agencies by now. Bill O'Reiley would be ranting about it for sure.Quote:

well its been posted in high times, and ive spoken with a few members, and they have a few documented law cases where they got some of their memebers out of possession charges..the accounts are just used for legit identification, but i see what yall are saying..im not joining anytime soon, i was just curious if anyone had any firs thand experience
Yeah, in the latest issue of High Times, Doug Benson lists Temple 420 as one of his favorite dispenseries (sp) in Cali. He said you don't even need a medical card, you just need to be a member to purchase their "sacrament".
Apparently it's $100 to join. I don't think it would be wise though, to buy a card, and then go smoke in public and use your card as an excuse, because I'm sure they'll find away to still prosecute you or something.
If I ever move to Hollywood, or if a temple 420 starts a franchise or something (haha), then I'd buy a card, just so I wouldn't have to worry about finding a dealer, or any of that shit, I could just go to the "store" to buy my weed.
Thats pretty neat if it is all true.
I somehow feel that if its true it'd be a bit more known.
Even though, the government does what it wants, so its hardly a loophole, I'm sure many people would get screwed. Its probably like, a "get out of jail free card" where theres a chance it'll help you, but a chance it won't.
yea i mean i dont think people woudl be stupid enough to burn a spliff in public and be like oh its ok, its for my religion! :thumbsup:
yea i think the cop would jsut slap you and charge you for being a fuck tard
id join, i wouldnt be burning in public, thats just asking for it. id burn in my home and in the temple
A whole family got busted a little while ago... and they were members. I dont think it's worth it.
im curious to see what happens with the family and if the temple will get them out of it.
Me too, i saw this in grow lounge i think [ im not sure] but it was deff on this site and it was on cnn i think, dunno though, but i know it's defiantly happened. But according to the poster they said the church couldnt do anything, i dunno, but i wish it was true.
Yeah its actually for real like its hard to get in though, they have mostly famous and wealthy people as memembers
like who are some famous people involved in this?
for some reason when i open that webpage it won't let me click on ne of the little links except for forums.
I know there was a case not too long ago an AZ. couple got busted with hundreds of pounds from their Church.I guess it was a legit church.They were saying it was part of their religious ritual.We'll see what happens.
I also wonder if the Indian Reservations could possess MJ, being as it is supposed to be a soveriegn nation.?
i know indians r allowed to grow and use payote and psilocybin mushrooms for religious purposes, dk bout cannabis
Like I said, there's really no use in being a member. It's just like another medical dispensary, but more expensive. Dispensary's are all over the place in California. You can buy weed in a number of places, as long as you have a medical card.
What does it take to get a medical card? A trip to the doctor. What are the benefits? You can choose any dispensary to buy from, which means a large selection.
To get a Temple 420 card, you have to pay at least $100, and the only "benefit" is that you can buy weed from ONE place. I have more variety from my dealers.
And, if for some reason, you got busted or something, I'm sure having a medical card would hold more water in a court room, than a fucking "temple 420" card.
yes, they are allowed to do anything that they want, as long as it is in line with the laws of their tribe. US athorities have absolutely no jurisdiction on reservations. many times criminals will flee to reservations because the tribes would have to go through extradition to turn over the criminals to the government.Quote:
