Praise Jesus for the good sensible Christians on THIS jury. If there's anything I hate, it's people who make a mockery of Christianity by making wild, unsubstantiated claims about the Bible. 
In an interview with a local TV station, Swallick claims this Bible verse includes a reference to Cannabis:
This fool has been found guilty in secular court, but I guarantee you that He is going to get it much worse when he appears before Jesus on bended knee come Judgment Day. Jesus hates dopers, and especially the ones who try and push dope in His name!
Hawaiian Cannabis Ministries:
Jury takes 14 minutes to convict self-proclaimed pot pastor
Steven Swallick faces up to 10 years in prison
VIERA — A Brevard County jury today convicted a 53-year-old man, who said he uses marijuana for religious and health purposes, of illegally harvesting more than 100 of the plants in his Palm Bay home.
It took a jury 14 minutes to convict self-proclaimed minister Steven Swallick following a two-day trial.
Circuit Judge Jim Earp wouldn’t let him testify about his use of marijuana for religious purposes.
But as part of a motion asking the judge to allow the evidence, Swallick testified outside of the jury’s presence that he is affiliated with the Hawaiian Cannabis Ministries, which mandates use of the drug.
“I do inhale it. I do use it as an anointing oil. I do ingest it as a food product. There are over 25,000 beneficial uses for the plant,” Swallick said.
Sentencing is set for 8 a.m. Dec. 11.
