Hey, that's really neat, man! Where do I sign up?
;o)
And suddenly the Church finds it's got hundreds more parishoners in their seats wishing to "convert"
Hmmmm does this open the door to any group, under the guise of religion, that wants to include illegal drugs into their relgious practices?
¿ Church of the holy vegetable spirit?
Watch allot of "converts" claim this for their illegal drug use. People know NO lows when it comes to illegal drugs.
Good...actually it all should be legalized.Let them cull themselves.
Soon to open near you: Church of the Spirit Bong....
Another name for hosaca is Ayahuasca.
You need plants that are (currently) imported from South America.
Will SCOTUS allow this church to grow their own DMT-containing plants, or will they need to be imported still?
BTW if you have phalaris aquatica grass on your land, you are growing a plant that contains DMT. Likewise Illinois Bundleflower and several others- you can now start your own church!
Does this set a precident for claiming the right to illegal drug use as part of a religious ritual?
This gives a whole new meaning to the church "pot luck" dinners.

With regard to ayahuasca, there's an interesting connection with the Bronfman family of Seagram's fame -

Good. Hopefully this is one more nail in the coffin of the failed war on some drugs.

Every time I see a story like this, I get re-inspired to start my Church of the Holy Centerfire Cartridge. Requires you to carry at least a handgun at all times (citing Jesus' "if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one") for personal protection, and fully-automatic weapons for home defense and religious observance. Seems like I'd be able to protect my 2nd rights by broad interpretation of my 1st.
Reminds me of the Coptic church in Florida that wanted to smoke pot in church.
It's not any more ridiculous than engaging in cannibalism and blood-drinking & calling it a holy ritual.
