A challenge to this religious discrimination actually made it all the way up to the Supreme court, when someone was charged with a Marijuana offense and claimed that it was their religious right to possess marijuana. They argued that other religions are given exceptions to the controlled substance act, and therefor it is unconstitutional if the court does not give them a religious exception. The court decided that .... it is in the best interests of society if marijuana is prohibited because it is Sooooo dangerous and rejected the argument that he should obtain a religious exception. It reminds me of how the supreme court has also taken away the right to free speech in the case of CP possession and distribution, also done in the name of the good of society of course. Good old Supreme Court of the USA, wiping their asses with the constitution and imprisoning society for the good of society!
