"Being an elevationist [the term they’ve coined for the theology of the new {marijuana-based} church] means being an explorer."

"Our spiritual journey is one of self-discovery, not one of dogma. We believe there is no one-path solution to life’s big questions. This is simply a supportive place for each one of us to find a pathway to our own spirituality, whatever that may be.... There are as many pathways to being an elevationist as there are elevationists."

Says Lee Molloy, quoted in "Holy smoke! The church of cannabis/As congregations dwindle, a new religion is lighting up Denver, Colorado. Aaron Millar joins the ‘elevationists’ of the International Church of Cannabis who worship the weed" (The Guardian).

Don't miss the photograph at the link of the beautifully painted interior of the 113-year-old church building that Lee and others were going to convert into with the plan to turn it into apartments. But with marijuana legalized in Colorado: “We started having these stupid, fantastical conversations. What if we kept it as a church?” And "the International Church of Cannabis opened its doors with its own chapel, theology and video game arcade."

The idea of a church of marijuana is old.

But, in fact, cannabis use has long been part of religion, from ancient Chinese shamans to modern-day Rastafarians: inducing altered states of consciousness has been a cornerstone of belief since time immemorial. And even without drugs, whether it’s spinning Sufi dancers or drumming voodoo priests, or even just simple prayer or meditation, taking the mind to a higher plane has always been a road to the divine, whatever you may conceive that to be.

Many years ago, I based a Constitutional Law exam on a case I'd read about, where people had formed a church around marijuana use with the hope of being able to argue that they were entitled under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to an exemption from the federal criminal law. I seem to remember the name of the religion as "Our Church," but that might just have been the name I came up with for the exam.

Elevationists is a good name, referring to getting high. (The Anglicans have dibs on High Church.)

The key thing here isn't that they've thought of a new religion (or are screwing around with the idea of religion).  This is a story about real estate, interior design, and art.
