Give Shamans the freedom to practice their religion responsibly.

Give Shamans the freedom to practice their religion responsibly.

The Issue

Entheogenic plants convey direct experiential knowledge to Shamans. Outlawing the use, possession, and harvesting of entheogenic plants is much worse than outlawing the use of a religion's holy book.

I am not asking to make these entheogenic plants legal for all. As a Shaman - I understand the danger of abusing these powerful plants. I want the ability to provide entheogenic plants in a regulated way - with regulations that exceed those of alcohol and tobacco.
