COURT RULING ON TEA

The Supreme Court has now ruled that a congregation in New Mexico can 
use a hallucinogenic tea for religious purposes (Feb. 22), but it is 
still illegal to use marijuana for medical purposes.

There may some interesting and important legal arguments behind this 
paradox, but the fact remains that the sick cannot get their drug but 
worshipers can.
