A country that is mainly for freedom stands. The new law for the restoration of the religionFreedom in Indiana. At first glance a great thing, at second glance not. Critics fear the law will legalize it homophobia. And that in a country where same-sex marriage is possible almost everywhere. Still, the new law would give business owners the power to fire homosexuals or deny them services because of their sexual orientation. This is then based on religion. A blatant political blow to gay and transgender rights. Even the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has spoken out against this law. Today, on Diversity Day, one more reason to keep fighting for colorful diversity in our society without discrimination and exclusion.
Despite these sad consequences for homosexuals, the new law holds untold benefits for a very different group of people. A cannabis church was founded by people who advocated harmony, goodness and of course the drug to dedicate yourself. Nice. Religious freedom can therefore also be interpreted by the population to their advantage. For politicians, of course, the whole thing is a slap in the face. We find it right. The blatant discrimination against gays and transgender people is packaged as religious freedom law, so it’s only fair to think of cannabis use as a religion. While the church has no authority to buy or sell drugs, members are permitted to use them as part of their religious practice. Of course, it is also clear that the church should be viewed less as a religious group and more as a political statement. All that remains to be said is: long live freedom
