Denver-AP) -- A federal appeals court has ruled that a New Mexico church’s use of a hallucinogenic tea was likely to be protected under freedom of religion laws.

The ruling, issued by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver Thursday, upheld a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Attorney General and federal agencies that sought to prohibit the tea’s use.

The appeals court agreed with the U.S. District Court in New Mexico that the Brazil-based O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal church had demonstrated a likelihood of success in winning an exemption for sacramental use.

The tea is brewed from plants found only in the Amazon River Basin and contains a drug barred by the Controlled Substances Act.

Church president Jeffrey Bronfman sued the Justice Department after 30 gallons of hoasca tea were seized by U.S. Customs agents from his office in Santa Fe in 1999.

There was an episode of CSI that dealt with Jimson weed and what effects it has on people.

If they could just restore his tongue, only, he could qualify as a Democrat presidential candidate.

I guess it would be too much to hope that Bill Clinton like this stuff...

In a related story, Bill Clinton has been admitted to the ER with bloody towels over his mouth and between his legs. Witnesses say Mr. Clinton was accompanied by a Ms. Lewinsky, who had a bloody chin. Authorities believe that Mr. Clinton's penis was severed by Ms. Lewinsky's teeth which in turn caused Mr. Clinton to bite off his tongue. Emergency room personnel say that because teeth had cause Mr. Clinton's injuries, there was no way to effectively reattach his severed appendages.

Historians believe this to be the first time a living ex-President has been penisless. Mr. Clinton refused comment.

Sometimes people drink too much, black out, and wake up with a hell of a hangover and people telling them what they did. I bet that's nothing compared to the wake-up hangover this guy had.

Darwinism works! This idiot is effectively removed from the gene pool, as he rightly should be.

What's the creationists got to say about this? huh??

[scabbage]

Holy retool batman! Talk about a major hangover. "Uhhh...What a night I had last night...I gotta go to the bathroom...WHAT? Where are my bit and pieces, my rod and tackle baby?" Ugh!

[Freedom_Isn't_Free]

... in an ironic twist, the emergency room surgeon was also under the influence of the hallucagenic drug and swapped the severed organs before re-attaching them.

(Now that would be a funny ending to the story!)

"What? You mean drug laws DON'T STOP this sort of thing?????"

Since Angel's Trumpets are legal in Germany, your point sort of falls flat.

Well, at least he's still got his nuts about him.....

Huh. I have some of that growing in a flower bed. Popped up out of nowhere, and I thought it was pretty so didn't pull it out.

A lot of plants are poisonous, and some do make you feel funny. I tried some weird stuff when I was a teenager - morning glory seeds, yohimbe bark - mostly just made me feel really nauseated.

[taxed2death]

Why not sew his tongue back on where his crank was and put his crank where his tongue used to reside.

That would teach him......or not.

[gathersnomoss]

I doubt it. He still has his arms to feed himself the flowers. This is just a flesh wound.
