"Concerning the missunderstanding of "legality and illegality" and in respect to international agreements that are signed even by the USA, I want to point on article 14 of the 1988-Vienna- "UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST ILLICIT TRAFFIC IN NARCOTIC sacraments AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES" that says:
in the paragraph 2:
"Each Party shall take appropriate measures to prevent illicit cultivation of and to eradicate plants containing narcotic or psychotropic substances, such as opium poppy, coca bush and cannabis plants, cultivated illicitly in its territory. The measures adopted shall respect fundamental human rights and shall take due account of traditional licit uses, where there is historic evidence of such use, as well as the protection of the environment."
The 2nd sentence states three major things:
1. fundamental human rights (one of those is the right of religious freedom) must be respected.
2. Traditional uses must be respected.
3. only plants are meant: neither mushrooms nor animals. SAme says the commentary of the 1971-agreement as well as the UNO-control board on narcotics
There is lot of "historic evidence" of such use, as the entheogens are with people from all time and the efforts of roman-catholics to destroy all evidence of former worshiping must be taken into account as well.
Wherever the toads live "naturally" - wherever Sacred Mushrooms grow naturally, their use cannot be "forbidden". This is actually true for hemp and coca - as well as for opium poppy!
The "war und sacraments" has been proclaimed to cut away human rights of those using their natural envirement for their benefit. But this "war" is illegal, just as every war is, and it just missuses international agreements to look "necessary"!
Thus, one should not argue the way the worriers do and clearly state that NATURE IS LEGAL. G.O.D. grows everything - including human beeings - legally. We have a natural and internationally granted right to use G.O.D.'s gifts and noone can turn entheogenic toads, mushrooms or plants into "illegal substances", without breaking fundamental human rights, breaking international law... as it's tried, overa and over, we should be aware that this is done for economic and thus "political" reasons, to support the financial gains of a minority on behalf of the rights and health of the majority...
Teonanacatl will support us,
