Rubin probably would have better off arguing he was giving the marijuana away and not selling it. The sale and potential profit therein is why they are scared.
If I recall, cannabis churchs like this one have said they can cite many examples where courts have found people who carry thier cards not guilty under the pretense they were in possesion of cannabis for religious purposes. These cases form legal precedents that cannot be overlooked.
When will this argument come into play? Simply put if you want to win you must cause the system to contradict itself.

Yegan added:
“It is unnecessary to pass on whether appellant sincerely believes that he may use religion as an umbrella to shield him from the salutary rules protecting society from drug peddlers. It is sufficient to observe that appellant’s theory is at variance with not only constitutional law, it is at variance with common sense.”

Well, thats his (foolish) opinion and personal opinion should not dictate law.
