It's Religious Tea Time
The US Supreme Court today announced that it has decided to allow O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal, a Brazilian religion, continue its practice of using tea that has contains an illegal drug dimethyltryptamine, also known as DMT.
The Court ruled that Bush Administration had failed to meet the burden of proof.
Apparently, there are only about 130 practicing members of this religion in the Unites States who primarily live in New Mexico and Colorado. They say that they only take the tea about twice a month and then only during a four religious ceremony.
Anyone out there wiling to convert? A great victory for small religions.

Hey, thanks for posting this. I had posted back in November about the case, and now I have closure. I love when that happens.
