One topic that is not commonly covered when discussing medical marijuana in Colorado is religion’s views on the subject. On the religious side, high-ranking members of various church organizations have openly stated their approval of marijuana for medical use, stating that it is considered by the church an act of compassion for those suffering from an otherwise debilitating state. Then there is the other side of the coin. A 25 year-old man in Georgetown, Colorado who was recently found guilty of marijuana possession claimed that his religious beliefs necessitated the use of cannabis and that the plant was not only sacred, but used as a botanical messiah in his communication with God. While law officials believe that the Georgetown man was sincere in his beliefs, the issue of possession without a medical marijuana card, as well as driving under the influence of the drug took precedence and the man was sentenced to 30 hours of community service and a find of several hundred dollars.
