Excellent! Members who donate to this Church can now write off their donations on their taxes, and the Church can enjoy it's tax exempt status.
"So far, more than 600 members have paid amounts ranging from $4.20 to $1,000 to join the church, Mr. Levin said. Fundraising is being conducted partly on gofundme.com, where the church has raised over $10,800.
The church’s first service is scheduled for July 1 — the day the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act goes into effect.
The recreational and medicinal consumption of marijuana is still illegal in Indiana, posing an issue to members of the church, or “Cannabiterians,” who believe in using the drug on a daily basis as a sacrament. Mr. Levin said he started thechurch to test the application of the new law that bans government from interfering with the exercise of religion, CNHI reported.
The secretary of state has already officially recognized the church as a religious, nonprofit corporation, according to state officials, with the stated intent “to start a church based on love and understanding with compassion for all,” CNHI reported."
