Smoking Weed in Church

[Medical Marijuana]

I had no idea this video would get so many views and comments, so i guess i need to clarify the following.

This is a real place. It is called Temple 420. It is located in Hollywood, CA. It has been on the national news because the guy in the video (Rev. Craig X, also seen as the owner of the weed store on the famous Showtime TV show "Weeds") has been charged with possession of Marijuana. He faces up to 7 years in prison for the possession charges. The temple is a church that believes that cannabis is a sacrament and that in the bible is says "God says 'I give you EVERY green herb.'" It doesn't say "every green herb except for cannabis."

Anyway, I was helping to direct a National Lampoon film and decided to go to the church to film this video to be included in the film. SO, YES this guy is for real. YES, that is his wife in the gift shop showing me the shirts and stickers. YES it is a real church and i have attended services and let me say there are MUCH worse things people can be doing than smoking weed and praising god at the same time. I live in Los Angeles, and this is the LAST place people should think is bad. How about gangs? How about rapists? How about violent robbers? Thieves? Child molesters? All these people should be put in jail, not a Reverend who smokes weed. What harm is he doing? NOTHING.

Short film by Watch Your Mouth Productions.

What was NOT REAL in the video: There is a clip of Rev. CraigX preaching, then it cuts to the audience and there's only one member. That was done as a joke for the Lampoon film (the actual services have a good number of people attending them). I used footage of the actual service, then cut in clips of only me in the audience that I filmed later.

Also, I AM FUCKING WITH MRS. X (obviously unbeknownst to her) in the giftshop. For example, I say "who is that?" and she says "the porno guy. JON..." and i quickly go "Jon Jacobies!" and she says "no it's Jon Jeremy." then I say "Are you sure? I think that's one of the presidents. It looks like Taft." She is being serious, but I am being facetious because I was working for National Lampoon. This video was conceived for use in a Mockumentary. I hope that clears things up.
