On Feb. 13, 1999, a member of the New American Church Association gave the following address to a group of 125 people at the NORML convention in Pismo Beach, California. The New American Church Association affirms Religious Freedom (REFR) on state ballots by the year 2000 and some NORML leaders agree. The NACA spokesperson's speech is reprinted in full.
Marijuana: Religious Use This group is certainly aware of the long history and rich tradition of the religious role of Cannabis. This has been well-documented in many sources, including books by participants in this Conference. Today, I want to focus my remarks on contemporary religious or spiritual use of marijuana. This, too, has received attention in recent books such as The Benefits of Marijuana : Physical, Psychological and Spiritual by Joan Bello, Cannabis Spirituality by Steve Gaskin, and The Healing Magic of Cannabis by Beverly Potter and Dan Joy. Also, in the Marijuana Medical Handbook, our esteemed colleagues, Ed and Dale and Tod observe that marijuana users "report feelings of euphoria, good will, empathy, and spiritual awe" and that "marijuana helps them think about serious matters, to become introspective and spiritual, to get to the essence of things."
