US court backs hallucinogenic tea
WASHINGTON - In a victory for religious freedom, the Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the Bush administration's claim that it can bar a small congregation in New Mexico from using a hallucinogenic tea during its rituals.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., speaking for a unanimous court, said the government had not shown the harm in allowing 130 followers of a Brazilian sect to use their tea.

At least yet, the court's not so bad. Secularist drug users around the world owe religion a big "thank you." Haha, secularists.
