Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A US man who says marijuana is a sacrament in his religion has been convicted of misdemeanor drug charges.
A Clear Creek County judge found Trevor Douglas of Colorado guilty Tuesday of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving an unregistered vehicle.
Douglas says he will appeal. He says he's standing up for his constitutional right to religious freedom.
He argued he shouldn't be convicted on drug charges because marijuana serves the same role in his religion as communion wine in Christianity. He's a member of the Hawaii-based THC Ministry.
The judge said Douglas' beliefs don't rise to the level of a religion.
Douglas was ordered to pay $450 in fines and costs and serve 15 hours of community service.
