Hawaii’s Marijuana Minister Behind Bars

“Then God said I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth, and every tree that has fruit in it.”

Genesis 1:29-30

In a land founded on religious

freedoms, Hawaii’s ordained and licensed Marijuana Minister, Roger Christie, has been sitting in prison without bail for more than a year, preaching the Bill of Rights’ First amendment and praying for a miracle.

Founder of The Hawaii Cannabis Ministry, commonly known as the “THC Ministry,” Christie had been practicing out of a store front in Hilo, Hawaii for 10 years when his church and home were raided by Federal Agents last year...

His credentials to preach were acquired from the Universal Life Church, Inc. in 1972. Among his clerical documents is a license to marry, granted by the State of Hawaii in 2000. In Christie’s hand, penned under “Denomination or Sect” clearly declares, “Cannabis Sacrament.” Sacrament meaning annointing oil used in marriage ceremonies, and herb for smoking, which is also considered a spiritual rite by the Ministry.

In March of 2010, 13 of Christie’s THC Ministry followers were arrested by Federal officers and charged with

manufacturing and distributing Cannabis in amounts well over Hawaii’s own seven plants per patient ordinance.

That said, there were never any ordinances governing the THC Ministry, as it is not a Medical Cannabis Dispensary or Collective, nor is Christie a Medical Cannabis patient. His strong and firm belief is that Cannabis is a plant of God and he joins those before him, historically using it for both spirituality and subsequent wellness.

Christie said he immediately informed authorities members were providing Sacrament exclusively for the congregation, by donation only. The refusal of the Federal Government to acknowledge Christie’s church as a legitimate entity promped them to brand him a danger to the community, arresting and him and taking him into custody

without bail, without visitors, and myriad trial postponements to date. A big part of his practice is based on using a Sacred Anoitment Oil in marriage ceremonies, with a universal belief in the bud that’s as old as, well, the bud itself.

Vancouver Writer and Publisher Chris Bennett, author “Cannabis and the Soma Solution” (Forbidden Fruit Publishing), said Jesus Christ and his apostles may have used a high potency Cannabis-based anointing oil referred to as “kaneh-bosem.” He said the use of this high-potency oil, which is well documented in archaeological records, was used during religious ceremonies in healing the sick and mentally ill, with ancient anointed ones literally drenched in the potent mixture.

“The first solid evidence of the Hebrew use of cannabis was established in

an outdoor garden personally, so I was really looking forward to my first photo shoot at the ODC.

This was a learning experience for me each time I visited and I will try and pass on what I learned.

These are the strains in the garden:

• AgentOrange• BlackDomina• Blueberry• BubbaKush• CaliforniaOrange• Cheese• ChocolateChunk• Dannyboy• GreatWhiteShark• ProudMary• PurpleKush• Romulan• Snodawg• SpaceQueen• JacktheRipper• JacksCleaner2

The plants are lovingly transplanted throughout the garden and foliar fed with vulvic acid, which helps the plant uptake nitrogen through the root base. Dave is a firm believer in both vulvic and humic acids and uses them throughout the growing season.

I did not get a chance to return to Weeden for almost 2 weeks (12 days to be exact). I expected the plants to be larger to be honest, getting full unobstructed sunshine every day, but Dave explained that most of the energy was going to establish the root base first.

Now, I want to tell you about “Sportster’s Bucket”. “Sportster’s Bucket” honors a good friend of ours, that makes his way up at harvest and, sitting on the bucket, helps Dave process mountains of medicine. With him in mind, we feature his bucket at each visit. It’s a tease, but it’s all in good fun.

I decided to get out and get some late sunshine and fresh air and go smoke

a joint with KA, and take a few pics of the progress on Tuesday - a tradition that would be repeated each week until harvest. I arrived about 4pm, and by the time we walked down to the garden it was 4:20, so we fired up a “hog leg” of Cheese, and KA made these signs.

Want to see just a spectacular place to get high and talk about life?

Now that the roots are established, I expect these things to go crazy over the next few weeks. I am not sure he’s left enough room!

July 28th was my third visit to, by now, my favorite place on the planet to contemplate life. This was a real learning visit, and I got to actually watch the installation of the wire cages that will help support the lower buds once they add weight and start drooping due to gravity. The plants are cleaned up at this time by removing any of the lower “sucker” shoots allowing the plant to get better air flow and, in theory, the energy wasted on these lower branches will be diverted upward to the main colas. The remaining lower branches are carefully weaved through the wire cages, opening the plant for more sunlight and better air flow.

Before we got started, we enjoyed some nice hits of some indoor Jacks Cleaner - a Sativa - to give us some morning energy and reduce some of the pain that Dave deals with every day. Dave makes a stern general as he commands everyone around the garden to help with each plant, getting them secured just like he wants them.

You can see the plants are already starting to take-off, but you’re going to be shocked when you see our next update! Look out for “The Garden of Weeden: Part 2” in the next issue of Weed World!

In our next article you will see giant plants forming, cannabis-loving cows, the erection of the covering tent and the first bud shots!

Stay Tuned, Subcool.
