The THC Ministry, short for the Hawai’i Cannabis Ministry, is a unique religious organization that champions the spiritual use of cannabis. Established by Roger Christie in 2000, the ministry is rooted in the belief that cannabis is a sacrament that facilitates a deeper connection with the divine. The term “THC” stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of cannabis, which the ministry regards as a holy substance. Initially a grassroots movement in Hawaii, the THC Ministry has expanded its influence, advocating for the recognition of cannabis as a spiritual tool across various cultures. With the shifting landscape of cannabis legalization, the THC Ministry remains at the forefront of discussions about the intersection of religion and cannabis use, highlighting its potential for spiritual awakening and healing.

The THC Ministry, founded by Roger Christie from the Religion of Jesus Church, is a religion which considers cannabis to be a sacrament. Members base their practices on what they see as an eclectic mixture of ancient wisdom, modern science, and the enlightening and healing properties of cannabis sacrament. Its mission includes "liberating the Cannabis plant and the minds of those who do and of those who do not revere it," and is actively involved in the legal and social discussions surrounding cannabis use in society. On July 8, 2010, Christie and 13 other individuals allegedly associated with the THC Ministry were indicted by a Federal grand jury in Honolulu on Marijuana Possession and Trafficking charges. Christie served four years in jail following an April 2014 sentencing, and was on probation until 2018.
