Religious Tea Under Scrutiny in NM!
A hallucinogenic tea used in religious services by a church in New Mexico is under investigation by the Supreme Court. The tea contains a drug banned under the Federal Controlled Substances Act.
Here's the article.
Will there be a sudden increase in the numbers of worshippers pending the decision?

Re: Religious Tea Under Scrutiny in NM!
The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, voting 8-5 that the church had shown a “substantial likelihood of success” in winning religious exemption, rejected the government’s request to temporarily ban use of the drug at the church, whose U.S. operations are based in Santa Fe, N.M.
Anyone want to start a Church of the Bong?
