Rev. Jamal Bryant, the pastor at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta, wants to open up a cannabis business so that he can attract more Black men to the church.
“I’m looking for people that smell like weed,” Bryant deadpanned on the “Cool Soror With Rashan Ali” podcast. Ali turned her head in shock at Bryant’s words.
Bryant, who divorced from “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Gizelle Bryant in 2009, elaborated on his rationale for developing a marijuana farm on what is considered consecrated grounds.
“New Birth is the largest land-owning Black church in America. My position to my deacons is ‘why aren’t we not raising cannabis?’” he asked rhetorically.
