God on High examines four North American cannabis-based religions: the Church of the Universe, the Church of Cognizance, the Hawai'i Cannabis Ministry, and Temple 420. It contextualizes these religions by looking at the patterns presented by earlier groups, such as the Rastafari religion, the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, and The Farm.
