In this roundtable conversation, Teopixqui Dez sits down with the "GrowBros" — the clergy team behind the cultivation of the church's cannabis sacrament: Bondsmith Rich, Pa'Dré, and Farmacist Castle. Together, they unpack how cannabis moved from "just a way to relax" into something sacred… supporting pain relief, easing anxiety, strengthening community connection, and creating a spiritual container around a plant that's often treated as ordinary. They also share how their cultivation work became devotional — sacrament from the seed — and why cannabis, when used with intention and in community, can become a profound doorway into healing and faith.

• How the GrowBros first linked up as the "last ones standing" during volcano sessions

• Cannabis for anxiety relief and quieting the inner critic

• Pain management without NSAIDs or opioids

• Why cannabis often replaces alcohol without the regret and fallout

• The shift from "weed" to sacrament through intention, community, and doctrine

• How cannabis kept people connected when other sacrament was temporarily limited

• What "greening out" looks like…and how the clergy help people through it safely

• When high-dose THC turns psychoactive — and unexpectedly spiritual

• The "seed story" and the moment community energy changed the outcome

• Why cannabis is more profound with others than alone

• Stepping into clergy as a natural extension of leadership and service

• A question for listeners: is cannabis just "weed"… or can it be sacred?

• Why showing up matters — community is lived

• Introducing The Book of PACK Life as doctrine

• Spirituality leading into religion (not the other way around)

• The Three Universal Truths:

• The seven psyches that help communities thrive

In this post–Super Bowl sermon, Teopixqui Dez reflects on division, growth, and what it truly means to stand on the right side of history.
