Hallucinogenic tea likely to gain religious exemption

[Wonk]

(Denver-AP) -- A federal appeals court has ruled that a New Mexico church's use of a hallucinogenic tea was likely to be protected under freedom of religion laws.

The ruling, issued by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver Thursday, upheld a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Attorney General and federal agencies that sought to prohibit the tea's use.

The tea is brewed from plants found only in the Amazon River Basin and contains a drug barred by the Controlled Substances Act.
