Meet the Christians Who Smoke Weed to Find God

As weed legalization continues to spread state-by-state across the country, referring to pot in a religious way is often perceived as an exotic curiosity or just an excuse to get high. But across the country, there are some people who believe the drug is a sacred plant and incorporate it into their religions practices.

On the next episode of Weediquette, Krishna heads to Colorado—where cannabis is legal—to meet Deb Button, the founder of a stoner bible study. The two talk about the relationship between weed, the soul, and spirituality, and discuss the threats and discrimination she’s faced from the Christian community.
