I think you have to pay the state to register your religion, but beyond that, I dunno. :justdontknow:

There is no restricitons, you can declare doing mushrooms as part of your religion and they can't interfere (hey lets start a psychadelic religion like Leary's ideas) in fact just recently a bunch of dudes did peyote at some religious thing approved by a court.

Your religion is not allowed to commit crimes. Sorry.

The only reason some religions get away with it, is because they were founded long before drug laws were in place. You cannot just start something new, and expect immunity to laws. Otherwise serial killers would just say they allow killing in their religion and get away.

There is also probably a minimum amount of people necessary for a system of thought to be considered a religion. For instance, there would never be a religion with a single member.

I read something about the subject of using peyote as religious sacrament in USA, and here's what i can remember about it: There is a "church" formed by the native Americans, anyone can belong to it but its only legal to use peyote if you belong tot he church AND are at least 1/4th "American-Indian"<---aka native American. However, In Europe some people formed a mushroom Church, to witch you can belong, and use mushrooms as a religious sacrament, legality of this" sacrament", of course still depends on your native laws...

Yeah I always wondered, if you can make your own religion and you have religious freedom, what if doing LSD once a year was in that religion? Sure it may be against the current laws and we have seperation of church and state, but if a massive amount of people were part of this religion I don't really know what they could do about it. It would be undemocratic to arrest 4 million doing LSD on a certain day each year because it is part of their religion, it would be unamerican.

As rootninja said it's not quite that simple. If memory serves me correctly people have already tried to do stuff like this (e.g. start a religion where marijuana was central to the religion).

If you think about it in broader terms, theoretically, you could start a religion claiming many types of activities were part of the theology. It would be a pandora's box.

Well i think Pandoras box has been wide open and flowing for centuries now, for example Microsoft has build its empire by blackmailing competing businesses and stealing patents, and it's still up and running. Now anyone of us should understand that its not, by any means wrong to do with your body what you want if it doesn't hurt anyone but yourself, if someone has a problem with you tripping on acid, the problem is in their brain. They need help, not you.
Saving a child from being raped by her/his own parents could be illegal but its never wrong. Laws are not based on justice, they are based on power.
