its nothing new, churches have been controlling people since they were first built, churches used to have nearly all power over an empire back in the day and to any political person who went up against the church (even kings and shit) were excommunicated, meaning they werent allowed to stay in that area ne more because they disagreed with the church, i dont know why it is, but weed does make a lot of people realized how bullshit religion is ( no offense)...i was atheist before i started smoking, but afterwards atheism made a hell of a lot more sense
