The members of the First Church of Cannabis in Indianapolis gathered on Wednesday for the pot-smoking church’s first holy service.
The inaugural service of the First Church of Cannabis happened on the same day that Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) took effect. The church’s congregation consisted of people wearing colorful shirts with pictures of marijuana leaves, the Christian Science Monitor details.
Police officers stood outside the church in anticipation of a rowdy service. However, the Indianapolis Star reported that the service was rather unremarkable and was comparable to a concert or a trip to the beach. Church members danced around as the song “Mary Jane” was played and some members testified about their pot experiences.
