If this guy wants to go ahead with his church, and in doing so break the law and not just talk about marijuana, then he is taking a pretty big chance.

And therein lies the problem. A religion, by definition, is a belief or view. Those who practice a religion don't have any proof (outside of the ones that have someone claiming to be a deity themselves).
