Oh, but they have, they have indeed! Consider that *ALL* religions of
*ALL* cultures began originally with shamanism. And consider that all shamans
use psychoactive plants. And that the Aztec and Maya, for instance, had
over 400 deities devoted to psychoactive plants. And that today a major
world religion like Hinduism uses cannabis as a sacrement, as do Rastafarians.
Remember too, that Native Americans were oredered to stop all of their
religious ceremonies, the Sundance was stopped, the Ghost Dancers massacred
at Wounded Knee and elsewhere. Remeber Waco?
The Christians have continually persecuted and outlawed other religions.
Their sacrement, alcohol, is legal, all other sacrements illegal. They even
made it illegal to bring up the subject of religious sacremental use in
legal proceedings -- a complete travesty of the 1st Amendment.
