INDIANAPOLIS -- The First Church of Cannabis held a celebration of love and spirituality Wednesday in honor of April 20 – or as it's better known, "4/20."
The unofficial holiday is celebrated around the world by marijuana enthusiasts.

The church's "Grand Poobah" Bill Levin said the day was an opportunity to remember what's important in life.
"We have focus points, and those focus points are: live, love, laugh, learn, create, grow, teach," Levin said.

Although some don't see the joy in Levin's proclaimed religion, he says it's about reaching a higher spiritual level.
"I would back the church any day. We are just a love generator," he said.
Levin is currently suing the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana for the right to use marijuana – labeling it a sacrament of his religion. The church was founded on the same day Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law.
