Feb. 21, 2006 – The Supreme Court ruled unanimously
that a congregation in New Mexico may use hallucinogenic tea as part of
a four-hour ritual intended to connect with God. In their first
religious freedom decision under Chief Justice John Roberts, the
justices moved decisively to keep the government out of a church’s
religious practice. In the decision, Roberts wrote that federal drug
agents should have been barred from confiscating the hoasca tea of the
Brazil-based church and that the Bush administration had failed to meet
its burden under a federal religious freedom law to show that it should
be allowed to ban “the sect’s sincere religious practice.” Link
The Hoasca tea contains dimethyltryptamine.
also known as Ayahuasca,
which the Bushite DEA purports to be in violation of the controlled
substance act. And we all know, there is ZERO tolerance from the
Federal Government, when it comes to the possession or use of any of
their listed substances.
Well, Justice Roberts now says zero tolerance is wrong, and
that the Bush Administration should have tried the least restrictive
measures, when it came to interferring with a Religous Ritual.
Either Justice Roberts is telling the administration to
better dot their p’s and q’s, lay off the Religous communities
(especially the Far Right ones), or he’s lacks any comprehension of
drug use in America today.
The Draconian enforcement of drug laws today, based on
misinformation and lies, is a direct revenge/response to the the
Culture Wars of the sixties. It was one thing, to keep the Blacks under
control in the first half of the Twentieth Century, but it’s a whole
different issue when it comes to war, and profit. These people just
never got over those dirty hippies, and their anti-war culture.
Hardly a dent has been made by the enforcers, in the availability, or
use of, Controlled Substances. If anything, by their efforts, they have
made it more available.
The dangers involved with obtaining marijuana
“on the streets”, has led directly to an enormous growth in personal
home-grown product. Further, the Youth of today are looking for newer
highs. The Globalist movement has led to many products from far off
countries being introduced to this one. In fact, so quickly are they
being brought here, there is not enough time or research to add them to
the Controlled Substance Act. Many people are “‘experimenting” with
these legal substances, not even to mention ayahuasca.
This Ruling should lead to all kinds of confusion, lawsuits,
and grounds to drop cases. There are many religous sects that have as
their sacraments, marijuana, mushroom, and other natural plants.
Of the many links available for research, there are that many more
being shut down by the government.
