Welcome, my brothers and sisters, to this sacred gathering on this beautiful day, the 21st of April, 2024. We are here not just as individuals, but as a community, united by our shared belief in the power of love, unity, and the spiritual enlightenment that our sacred herb, cannabis, can provide.
Today, we are not just celebrating a plant, but a way of life, a path to inner peace and understanding. We are celebrating our freedom to express our spirituality in a way that resonates with us, in a way that brings us closer to our true selves and to each other.
In the United Church of Cannabis, we believe in the power of love and acceptance. We believe that every person has the right to seek their own path to spiritual enlightenment. We do not judge, we do not discriminate. We welcome all who come to us with open hearts and open minds.
As we partake in the sacred ritual of consuming cannabis, let us remember that it is not just about the physical act. It is about the spiritual journey. It is about opening our minds to new perspectives, about breaking down the barriers that divide us, about finding common ground and shared understanding.
Let us remember that our journey is not just about seeking our own enlightenment, but about helping others on their journey as well. Let us be kind to each other, let us be patient, let us be understanding. Let us be the best versions of ourselves, for ourselves and for each other.
As we move forward, let us remember the core values of our church: Love, Unity, Truth, Acceptance, and Wisdom. Let these values guide us in our actions, in our words, and in our thoughts.
May the sacred herb open our minds, heal our bodies, and nourish our souls. May it bring us closer to each other and to the divine spirit that resides in all of us.
Thank you all for being here today. Let us continue to grow together, to learn from each other, and to support each other on our spiritual journeys.
Peace and blessings to you all.
