Cantheism, also Kantheism, is a modern term for religions based on
the inherent goodness of the cannabis plant. Adherents are known as Cantheists or Cannabists. Cantheism neither endorses nor
discriminates against any other church, faith, or system of belief.
The only religion known to worship the Cannabis genus of plants. People often mistake Rastafarianism for being the
worship of Cannabis however it is just a Christian sect. Cantheism however is the worship of the plant itself and has no other
idols/gods.
Many of the world's great religions have used Cannabis sacramentally and ceremonially.
Cantheology: Philosophical roots
* Animism - belief that all things have sentient spirits,
and some versions assert that Cannabis has the power to cross the line between the mental and the spiritual worlds.
* Hinduism - Sadhu, ganja, chillum, spiritual and physical healing, smoking cloth. Includes
the mystical interpretation of cannabis healing powers via Ayurvedic practices.
* Rastafarianism - the belief that cannabis is a holy sacrament.
* LaVeyan Satanism - given that drugs are a form of self indulgence, Satanists are not bound
from taking drugs (so long as the indlugence doesn't lead to compulsion) - in particular cannabis which has the least detectable
long term effects.
* Shamanism -
use of all herbs in mystical pursuit of the infinite.
* Zoroastrianism - use of cannabis to communicate with God for mystical consciousness and personal enlightenment.
Cantheist Creed
I believe that Cannabis sativa, L. Keneh Bosem, H. is the useful
cane and the true hemp.
I believe that Cannabis Hemp is a restorative natural resource for all humanity to grow,
share, and use for our fundamental needs. Therefore, I shall honor its existance.
I believe that the Cannabis
plant is endowed with important healing powers, some of which cannot yet be explained. Therefore I shall offer it to ease
the suffering of others.
I recognize cannabis as a sacrament within my community. Therefore I shall receive it
with thanksgiving and deep respect for its resinous powers.
The cultivation and disemination of cannabis are
honorable professions. Therefore I shall act with absolute integrity and honesty* to protect the Cantheist community and its
values.
* Note: The Christian Bible states that "the truth shall set ye free" and "render
unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's", therefore a Cantheist cannot lie or perjur
themselves in a court of law because it violates both "the truth" and "the things that are Caesar's",
namely the courts.

If you have a confrontation with the police know
your rights and know what you should or should not do to give them up
Just follow these 10 rules:
Follow these ten simply rules religiously and many of your rights will remain intact. I don’ t
care how nervous, scared or drunk you are, THESE RULES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, and will
help you tremendously in the short and long run. And remember - we are not your lawyer!
Keep
this in your wallet - OR - Memorize it.
Commit these tips to memory
and practice them:
1. Never carry more than you can eat. Swallowing
a few joints upon being pulled over is expert advice to staying out of jail.
2.
If you have to carry more than you can eat, go in the rain. A highway interdiction officer will never search citizens
in the rain.
3. Never answer the door for the police. Yell at them through
a window asking for a phone number to finish the conversation. Citizens are under no obligation to open their doors when
a cop comes calling. If they had the legal right to be in your house, they would have kicked the door in instead of knocking.
This safety measure neutralizes the cops tactic of claiming they smelled marijuana when you opened the door thereby giving
them probable cause to search your home.
