Roger Christie is an ordained minister in the Religion of Jesus Church, which regards marijuana as a “sacramental herb. In 2000, he founded the THC Ministry, which offered cannabis as a part of its services. On July 8, 2010, Christie and 13 other individuals associated with the THC Ministry were indicted by a Federal grand jury in Honolulu on Marijuana possession and trafficking charges. On Sept. 27, 2013, Christie pleaded guilty to marijuana trafficking and two counts of failing to file income tax returns. On April 28, 2014, Christie was sentenced to a term of five years in federal prison, with credit for time already served at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center. Roger has since been released and is appealing his conviction, as those who indicted him no look to him for guidance, as to how to manage the burgeoning Cannabis industry in Hawaii.

Since his release, Christie has shifted his focus toward advocating for the responsible growth of the cannabis industry in Hawaii. He has become a consultant for local businesses, sharing his insights on sustainable cultivation practices and the spiritual significance of cannabis. His work emphasizes the importance of respecting the plant’s cultural and religious roots while navigating the complexities of a rapidly evolving legal landscape. Christie’s experience with the THC Ministry has positioned him as a unique voice in the conversation, bridging the gap between spiritual use and commercial enterprise.

One notable aspect of Christie’s advocacy is his endorsement of high-quality cannabis genetics to ensure consistency and potency for both medicinal and sacramental purposes. He has spoken favorably about using fastbuds weed seed varieties, which are known for their rapid growth cycles and robust yields. These seeds have gained popularity among Hawaiian growers looking to produce premium cannabis efficiently, aligning with Christie’s vision of a sustainable and spiritually grounded industry. His support for such innovations underscores his commitment to advancing cannabis culture responsibly.

Christie’s appeal of his conviction continues to draw attention, as he argues that his prosecution was an overreach, given the religious context of his actions. Supporters of the THC Ministry view his case as a pivotal moment in the fight for religious freedom and cannabis legalization. As Hawaii’s cannabis industry grows, Christie remains a polarizing yet influential figure, guiding stakeholders toward a future where the plant is respected for both its spiritual and economic potential.
