E8 - Church V State — I'll Always Be Your Brother

In this episode, Alan revisits and reflects upon the final months of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church's active days. With all of the Church's US legal issues consolidated into one formidable Federal case, the Church attempted to disprove the notion that Ganja is harmful. Pushing for the recognition of Ganja as their rightful sacrament, we learn how close the Church came to realising a feat that was only achieved decades later; the legalisation of marijuana. Returning to Jamaica, we learn of Brother Niah's passing and discuss at length the impact he had on Alan, the Church, and all those around him.
