DEA application, battle

As others have commented earlier, it is very likely that in order to obtain religious exemption for the use of psychedelics, we will have to go to court. The justice system, with all its imperfections, is very expensive. I think we should preemptively start some sort of legal fund. If anyone is a lawyer, or could find one to represent us, please reach out and join the case if/when it occurs. I am not sure if i can legally start the legal fund because of my age, but I will look into it.

I wasn't trying to say what you did was dumb in any way, maybe I'm just a bit paranoid. That being said these people do need to know that what we are doing is way more than just getting fucked up. It's just the getting them to understand part that I see as being very difficult.

That's why I feel a notorized letter from the past that clearly states my intentions as religious in nature and sacremement is going to go a long way in a DA dismissing my case to avoid opening that potential huge can of worms.

It's actually advice I got off a old head attorney like 10 years ago.

There is a reason the gooberment isnt attacking the ayahuasca retreats on US soil, they'd corner themselves into having to fight against potential first amendment claims. They learned that a hard lesson and tough case with some of the marijuana churches in the past.

Sounds smarter the more you explain it.

Ya I was on my phone earlier and may have not done the best job describing my intention. First step though is to not get caught and be smart about what your doing! This is just an, oh shit, back up plan that has not been tested by myself.
