Yet it seems that all one needs to do is to claim that it is their religion and it gets a green light and get out of jail free card. Even with such a disgusting claim as \"Homosexuality is a sin,Islam is a lie, abortion is murder. Some issues are just black and white!\"
You didnt read the case. had nothing to do with religion and no one made any such claim. Quite a stretch to consider the above as \"hate speech\"

Yet marijuana which does have scientifically proven medicinal properties of easing pain for patients remains illegal.
Constitution of the US prohibits Congress from enacting any laws that prohibit the free exercise of religion. Nothing that prevents them from enacting laws that deny the free exercise of coping a buzz.
