Sect Allowed to Import Its Hallucinogenic Tea

A unanimous Supreme Court decision on Tuesday gave a small religious sect the right to keep importing a hallucinogenic tea, central to its ritual observance, that the government wants to ban as a controlled substance under federal narcotics law.

Absinthe causes liver damage and is not much more than a synthetic codeine. (I've got a lot of wormwood in my yard if you want some. lol) I was very glad to see this decision. Hallucinogenic drugs have long been used in religion. (And if you notice, these religions really ARE quite peaceful!) The real problem with these drugs has been that they have lost their religious context. I am glad to see that hallucinogens might have a place again. |
