Dear friends & neighbors of Sonoma County,
This message is to introduce information and invite community participation in establishing the world's first Cannabis Cultural Center in Sonoma. Recognizing current "drug" policy as fraudulent, and criminally counter-productive to the well being of our children, immediately conveys responsibility for everyone to objectively consider a broader perspective on the problems we are co-creating.
The California Cannabis Ministry is an evolving, individual, secular, expression of spiritual freedom. Scholarship and purposeful philosophical discussion are offered in place of 'preaching.' Ecology and axiology are primary subjects of writing, photography and filmmaking for the past twenty-five years.
The purpose of the California Cannabis Ministry is to establish a contemporary legal identity in order to stand up for the world's oldest global culture. "Religious" dialog inclusive of Cannabis as an essential sacrament is meant to reclaim individual protections under the First Amendment, without attempting to fit into a preconceived idea of what qualifies as a legitimate "religion." By acknowledging the sacred importance of gratitude, without having to name, define or specify a specific religious doctrine or the existence of a preconceived idea of "God" or "Goddess" or anthropomorphic deity of any kind, the concept of "religious freedom" is expanded, to include everyone's individual, evolving spirituality.
For further introduction, you are cordially invited to consider writing and videos at
