could a religious approach be used to decriminalize mushrooms
    #5588200 - 05/03/06 10:49 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

when i do shrooms it truly is a spiritual and beautiful religious experience....the fact that its illegal would violate or limit my right to freedom of religion....Would any state listen and consider this? arent some indians allowed to do shrooms and peyote on their reservation?

regardless I WILL TRY THIS SOMEDAY IN THE NEAR FUTURE

heres something similar i found in the drug war arena section of this site

now i am sincere in that i use mushrooms as a form of religion and enlightenment and the government limits my religion

im not tryin to start a church to legalize it if thats what u think i mean

You will have trouble establishing the sincerity of your beliefs. The Native Americans and Brazilians have gotten away with it because their traditions are historical and/or part of indigenous cultures. Drug use is considered a purely hedonic activity by the mainstream culture. So, it seems pretty difficult to me.

How many is "fairly large"? If 60% of the population, yeah. If a few hundred, no. Around 2 out of 5 Americans support legalizing pot, but not much effect that's had.

You'd need a really large number of people.

This kind of thing has been tried before. I guess your a new innocent one?

Yeah. You make sense but these authorities we have do not want any kind of entheogen availible to the public at all. Their system is maintained by ignorance and any light threatens it.

They will not listen to reason. So don't bother trying to persuade them with it. It's not like they don't know. They just love the darkness and will fight to maintain it.

I am with you/support you... but to most people you are just another hippy attempting to justify your hedonistic denial of reality

I know exactely what you mean when you say its a religious/spiritual experience. I have had the same kind of reaction everytime I do it. I would support you, but you and I alone wouldnt be able to make a dent. We would need a mass amount of people, and even then moral/ethical issues come into play which would need to be debated by the leaders of our state/country. But, if you do start some sort of new movement, let me know. Let the shroomery know.

What about an old movement? Like essenes?
<<but you and I alone wouldnt be able to make a dent.>>

You don't need to, it's already done. Essenes (well, covenant Essenes,) always have and still do today. I don't know about the "neo vegan" essenes, but bible ones do. www.clik.to/essene and others...

Can you convince a court that you have a genuine religion? Talk to a lawyer.
