Church Can Import Special Tea

The Drug Enforcement Administration, following a Supreme Court refusal to intervene, has given O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal, of Santa Fe, NM, a permit to import hoasca, a sacramental tea that induces a dream-like state of mind. The Department of Justice says that the importation contravenes an international drug enforcement treaty, but many conservative Christian groups supported the church with friend-of-the-court briefs, arguing that the threat of criminal prosecution for importing the tea is “tantamount to banning the wine served at a Roman Catholic mass.”  (Scott Sandlin. Santa Fe Journal, Internet, 12/11/04)
