Native Americans can use peyote. People in Santo Daime can use DMT. Catholic children can consume alcoholic beverages under the age of 21. There are three of the most widely known religious exceptions made to the controlled substance act. If I am busted with peyote I will go to prison. If I am busted with DMT I will go to prison. I HAVE gotten in trouble for drinking underage in the past. These laws have a foundation in religion. Religious sentiment is largely responsible for prohibition, it was in the case of alcohol and it is in the case of other recreational drugs as well. The constitution of the United States claims that there shall be no laws favoring one religion over another. This is CLEARLY not enforced in practice, or else there would not be native Americans legally getting high on mescaline, people in Santo Daime getting legally high on DMT or underage Catholic children drinking wine regardless of the amount they consume. There is no religious equality in U.S.A. , there are exceptions made for specific groups and there are entire laws made just so a bunch of brain fucked Christians don't get their panties up in a bundle. And don't even get me started on gay marriage being illegal, that is entirely to appease a bunch of brain dead primitive sky wizard worshipers and it is EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN for this to happen in the constitution. Christianity is the WORST THING that has EVER happened to the United States. Uhm damn near unheard of ? Which Catcholic churches don't have children under the age of 21 take communion? Wine is a controlled substance and nobody under the age of 21 is allowed to consume it or possess it in ANY AMOUNT. The only exception is made for the children of Catholics and this is BLATANTLY favoring one religious group over another. Simply because of their religion Catholic children are allowed to consume wine, children who consume wine that is not from a Catholic priest can get in trouble for consuming or possessing ANY AMOUNT of alcoholic beverage. Religion is a disease and the USA has a bad case of Christianity.
