I have performed legal marriages as the Mouth of the Church of the Hemp Goddess. I was chairman of the Utah THC (Therapeutic Humane Cannabis) Committee and sponsored two initiative petitions to legalize medical marijuana in Utah. I have sued the State for the right to buy a gun without a background check and also for the right to marry another man. I got the first ticket for cruising State Street so I could challenge that law before the Utah Supreme Court. I also sued the judge in that case for denying me the constitutional right to a jury trial. I lost all those cases. I should say the Constitution lost all those cases.
