I'm all for magic mushrooms and legalization, but I don't buy this 1st amendment religious exemption bullshit.

Laws exist to create a civil society. You shouldn't get an exemption because you have an imaginary friend.
That is... quite a comment to make in a thread about "illegal drugs" in the United States.
