E5. Loco Weed, Mucho Bien

With supplies of Ganja running low in Jamaica and a fruitful harvest months away, the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church journeyed to Colombia to bridge the gap in production. Despite the operation's success, the Church's elders soon realized that the Colombians' methods and motives did not align with their doctrine, and that the spreading of Rasta Doctrine was more important than a physical kingdom. Returning to Jamaica and cutting business ties with the Colombians, we follow the immense growth of the Church in this short 10-month window. Episode 5 rises to climax with the construction and subsequent opening celebration of the Church's new central temple headquarters in St. Thomas, Jamaica, the "Coptic Heights."
