Standing Granted In Religious Cannabis Lawsuit

A case I’m working on for a religious cannabis lawsuit demanding equal access to state authorized medical dispensaries via some remedy entailing a separate process for religious users to apply for a religious card has been granted standing following the state’s motion to dismiss.

The case will now move on to the merits.

I am filing my own lawsuit shortly for the same.

Utah recently saw a case where a federal judge ordered state police to return psychedelic mushrooms to a church founded in 2023; I’ve been a member of one for a considerably longer time. The court ruling granting standing cited the petitioner status as being a member of a Rastafarian church as one reason the petitioner had a standing valid interest to hold the state accountable to the law and constitution.

I think this case is going to have legs and win on the merits and go to appeals court.

Mine should as well.

States selling secular folks THC at grocery stores like Fareway in a Iowa while not providing religious users their sacrament is the grounds for this lawsuit as well as the fact these states are all sponsoring federal racketeering schemes via their medical cannabis programs while failing to do their states duty to apply for a federal exemption to state cannabis programs via 21 USC 822(d). This failure to protect state sovereignty protect religious users and protect patients are some of many reasons for these lawsuits.

Very few people have standing to sue for religious users in the Midwest and I’m one of them. I’m involved directly in four states and am seeking a fifth petitioner in Minnesota. Sugarlead Church with Heidi Grossman is handling the rest of the country and they are filing a lawsuit a week right now the most recent being in Hawaii. 16 petitioners church leaders ministers and recognized churches around the country are working together to defend the civil rights of religious cannabis users and I am also one of them. When we go to court we will win, and then, we can further take our seat at the table to work to end the addiction crisis compassionately through a better paradigm then the futile failed paradigm the drug war is currently still enforced in.

Updates soon.

Pictured: my sacrament is being sold at South Dakota dispensaries and probationers like myself are allowed secular non-religious medical use of my sacrament but South Dakota just tried to tell me I can’t also use this sacrament while on probation because special reasons. Now I’m suing to have equal protection access to my religious sacrament.
