7. the 9th does it, the first does it better
Amendment 1.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


From the universal declaration of human rights:
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.


The freedom of religion includes many world religions which use drugs
as a way of experiencing "communion" with nature and god. These
religions, hinduism, american indian religions, paganism, buddhism
and others... all have traditions that have used drugs for communion
for 1000's of years.

Given your right to freedom of religion, and your right to change
your religion whenever you want, the first amendment guarantees you: ongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Whats the issue about drugs. I use them for religious communion.

Fuck with the first amendment and we agree about nothing.
