UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

A Word About Hemp

A friend and person of the Kingdom Of God who identifies themselves as a citizen of the nation-state of New Jerusalem was arrested yesterday for possession of marijuana after his neighbor, who had visited his home, smelled it and turned him into police (his neighbor has an arrest record for burglary and shop lifting, among numerous dui-alcohol convictions, and is a known informant who is paid for his info). During their search, which was unnecessary because they were given all the hemp the man possessed (2 plants and 1/8 ounce dried herb) without having to search, the police destroyed over $3,000 in furniture, confiscated his computer, completely wrecked the man's house and car and there is a high dollar amount of music gear equipment missing from the man's house (hmmmm...wow, boy does that sound familiar).....no additional hemp was found.

This friend has been distributing The Word since it was published online in 1996, using his own time and money to make printed copies of the first Book (the preferred method of distribution, since the entire Book Of Divinity takes up a lot of ink and paper) and give them free to local churches, the homeless, and anyone who would like a copy. This man is a good person, he is not a criminal.

Where this gets complicated, or good to use a better term, is he doesn't buy hemp on the black market, he does not sell hemp and has no past drug convictions. In fact, the man does not drink or use other drugs, but is in agreement with The Way, which governs the nation-state of New Jerusalem, by degree of the following found within related scripture of The Word:

"God created no evil plants"

"No state rightfully can outlaw a simple plant of God's Creation when such use is to ease the physical and or mental suffering of any person, and such use does not involve public or private commerce. Nor shall any state which wishes to be righteous, punish those who give freely the creations of the fruits, vines, trees, seeds, bush and grasses of the Earth. All natural creation in relation to humankind in reference to such plants, are Gifts Of God's Creation."

"For of the Way regarding persons of the Kingdom Of God, all plants are given as Gifts from God, and the persons of such a State have the irrefutable right to grow, possess and use any plant, when not involved in economic commerce, for themselves personally and privately, and to share freely without charge with other persons of the Kingdom."

from the book "Of Law" - The Book Of Divinity, also known as The Word.

Nuff said, plain and simple...
WTW

Yet, even though he plans on carrying his case before the state and perhaps the federal supreme court, there is actually a federal law that will apply and help him. Some information about that follows:

Religious Freedom Restoration Act

You can bet if possible, WTW will be at this man's trial and appeals, full ceremonial dress, with statements prepared for the court. Since I am the Head Of State of New Jerusalem, it'll be a bit different than joe-schmoo off the street running his trap and talking about "legalizing", which this isn't about at all, except to present realization that The Book Of Divinity more than qualifies as spiritual text and sacred scripture, as in similar cases like this the courts have required to apply RFRA.

Now, I don't grow hemp, not even in the Sacred Gardens Of New Jerusalem, which I tend and have created in honor of God. Realistically though, and legally, I could, though to be "legal" requires a license from the DEA, and we know they love to give those. Still, the bottom line is, New Jerusalem is real, there are literally millions of us, who make up the Armies Of Heaven, most of who don't grow or use hemp, and we're not registering with an entity that uses violence and force to insure compliance, for whatever strange reasons. One does well to remember whose Earth this is, before you start talking about "wars" and starting something totally unnecessary with millions of peaceful folk.

The coming court appearances in Florida will be very interesting....

Have a pleasant evening....
