A church in California has been shut down after police found out that the church was being used to dispense marijuana.
According to the Laguna Beach Police Department who wrote on their Facebook page, the church was shut down after it was being used as a front for a marijuana dispensary.
A call was made to police on January 12th about a weed odor coming from the church, called the Divine Church of Gardens, and after a person saw people leaving with white bags.
When police arrived and spoke to two volunteers, they admitted they were selling sacraments that included marijuana.
The department’s Facebook post read, “To think, a church – selling the devil’s lettuce.
I don’t know if they had t-shirts or bumper stickers, but personally, I think something along the lines of “Divine Church of Gardens – where there’s more weed in the store than the flower beds” would be a good seller. I also imagine the background music in store was a constant loop of Phish songs. Conveniently, the “church” was open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., so services weren’t limited to the 4:20 time slot. As I reviewed this story, I couldn’t help but feel I was reading the premise for a Cheech and Chong movie.”
