First Church of Cannabis, Cannabis church in Indianapolis, United States

The First Church of Cannabis meets in a single-story former Christian church building on South Rural Street in Indianapolis. Its right section has a white-sided upper gable above a red brick wall with three tall rectangular windows, and a lower red brick wing with a brown shingled roof extends to the left with two more windows. Two wooden picnic tables stand on the mown lawn against the right facade.

The First Church of Cannabis was founded in March 2015 by Bill Levin as a direct response to Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It held its first service on July 1, 2015, without marijuana use after city legal threats, and later sued the state and Indianapolis; the case was dismissed on summary judgement and again on appeal.

Members follow the "Deity Dozen", twelve guidelines that include abstaining from internet trolling and spending ten minutes a day contemplating life. Cannabis, called "the Healing Plant", is the sacrament, and monthly dues are $4.20. Services are held every Wednesday at 7.

Services are held every Wednesday at 7. Parking on South Rural Street was restricted during the first service because the street is less than 24 feet wide, and some nearby residents charged a small fee to park on their property. A security camera was installed outside the building on the first day of service.

Bill Levin named his title Grand Poobah after the office held in the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes on The Flintstones, the show he was watching when the idea came to him. The term itself traces back to Pooh-Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado of 1885.
