The US tried to do the same with a Canadian dude selling seeds, wants him extradited.
Seems like the US is trying to impart its will all over the world, no matter the context.
Don't do drugs! Except for the drugs rushed to market by the FDA via payola, of course. Those are fine.
Prozac has driven more people insanely psychotic than pot or mushrooms ever will, but hey, it's "legal". So it must be okay.

I don't know how I feel about it... Don't get me wrong I love Mushrooms, but I mean think about it. If a heroin addict wanted to do heroin lawfully with his posse of junkies, all they would have to do is create a religion about how they get they're fix.
And we all obviously know heroin isn't a good drug. So technically if they allowed this guy to get away with it, there would be absolutely nothing stopping any other drug addict with the same intentions.
Granted mushrooms and heroin are to comparisons that have no relative features of one another. But you understand the point I'm trying to make.
Not to mention, this guys is distributing mushrooms for "Donations"? That sounds like a minor drug lord to me. I'm not dissing on the guy, more power to him, he got away with it for awhile. But like any crime you commit, it's only a matter of time before law enforcement catches on, and catches up.

Alright, who cares if heroin addicts want to start a church and do heroin all the time. It's not really anyone else's right to tell anyone what to do with their life or their body. If they wanna do heroin fine, I wouldn't but that doesn't make it wrong, just wrong for me.

Does anyone have any information on how i could start a sect, my own church under the Sacred Mushroom Church?
I wish to pastor a Sacred Mushroom Church of my own, here in the U.S.
Having multiple churches strenghtens its legitimacy.

while this case is a tragedy for this socalled pastor and his family i think the wisdom we all can learn from this case is simply do not trade illegal items with usa, no cannabis seeds or mushrooms or anything else, its simply not worth it. I dont think this man is going to be released. but if he gets sent to usa i hope there will at least be some debate on this. noone in eu should risk facing us prisons as long as they are not in usa and break laws there.

you have to be kidding me. Let people do meth, heroin, crack, and what ever they want. I personally don't care what people do to their own body. Let adults choose what they want to do with their own body. It's your right to get lung cancer, sclerosis of the liver, die from an OD.
I really don't know enough about pastor david or his church to form an opinion. Does anyone what size donations he asked for and what quantity he sent out? Where the money went to? Was he wealthy because of his "missionary work"

I fail to understand how anyone belonging to this community can speak negatively in regards to this, though some may have sound points you're missing the bigger picture. I'm sure he knew damn well what he was doing and is little more than unsurprised about how it's played out so far. There are many people diligently engaged in this argument and they see that this man is creating the waves that promise more potential for change than the tiny ripples put out by some random self-proclaimed shroomerite such as myself bitching of the illegality of psilocybin mushrooms.

I think it's silly for anyone to hide behind the guise of religion to make their drug of choice 'acceptable'. We do drugs to for our own self-pleasure, period. God is perfectly capable of speaking to us without the 'help' of mind altering drugs... it's just that we prefer listening to the drugs... perhaps some drug was the forbidden fruit that has haunted us since Eden.
If he were just a drug dealer, I could respect that... but he's a fraud and his fate will be what it will.

You wouldn't say that if you knew someone on heroin or crack... they ruin lives, which ruin families, which ruin communities... we all pay the price.
I don't think we can force help on people. But there are people battling addiction that really do want to stop...it's harder than you think.

Shroomerites, the Swiss authorities seem not to take any action to change their course. Unfortunately it'll be best to unsticky this thread, but feel free to post in it and bring it back up.
It's sad how the lawmakers lack vision in their application of freedom of religion. Pastor David - we wish you the best, and that your strength may never leave you.

Religion is free when the government agrees with it... thats pretty much the way it is all over the entire planet.
Its moments like these when I ponder the possibility of living on a remote island and having a sea plane to get me where I need to go. I know the perfect place I would go, its just making that final decision on giving up the "things" I have to create the life I want where I am truly free.
