[AZ] Another Phoenix Church Sues DEA Over Religious Use of Ayahuasca * 1

Another Phoenix Church Sues DEA Over Religious Use of Ayahuasca
June 23, 2022 - Phoenix New Times

The Church of the Eagle and the Condor, a religious congregation in Phoenix, gets its name from a prophecy originating in the Andes of Peru, which foretells a cultural unification of the North and South Americas.

In fulfillment of this prophecy, they say, members of the church drink ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic brew from South America. The drug, which has a long history of religious use, induces intense visions and hallucinations when ingested.

Over the last two years, however, shipments of the Church of the Eagle and the Condor's ayahuasca have been seized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which says the drug is contraband. The small community has been threatened with federal prosecution.

This month, the church began a legal battle over these seizures, aiming to become one of the relatively few ayahuasca churches nationwide that have won legal recognition by the U.S. government.

On June 9, attorneys for the Church of the Eagle and the Condor filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and its parent agency DHS over the confiscations and warnings by federal agents about possible escalation. These actions amounted to a "substantial burden on [the church's] exercise of their religious beliefs," attorneys for the church argued. The government has yet to respond to these claims in legal pleadings.

At least DHS hasn't arrested anybody.... yet.

I'm especially looking for a crack in the wall here. If ayahuasca churches can use ayahuasca, how long before DHS and DEA have to let mushroom churches obtain and use mushrooms? If "free exercise" applies to ayahuasca and communion wine (in dry counties), then the "establishment clause" should require government to not favor ayahuasca churches over mushroom churches, peyote churches or any other plant medicine churches.

That's right, lets STOP the DMT, it kills millions every month, let fentanyl flow into the US every month from China by the tonnes. It is good for permeant depression cure.

DEA knows what's best for me and my health! :highfive:

Good.  I hope they sue those useless slimy spineless cock suckers for all they’ve got.
Individuals using hallucinogenic substances for sincere religious/spiritual/recreational purposes should be immune to all of that evil.
