as posted by the channelThe International Church of Cannabis is about to open. Ana Kasparian, Brian Unger, and Amberia Allen, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you how you can be a parishioner. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“DENVER ― The International Church of Cannabis is slated to open its doors on April 20 and welcome the first-ever congregation of “Elevationists,” as it calls its members.
The church’s stated purpose is to serve as “a home to adults everywhere who are looking to create the best version of themselves by way of the sacred plant.” Just how that will be achieved is still up in the air, but church leaders told 9News that programming is expected to include guest speakers, comedians, artists, musicians and film screenings.
