Ayahuasca Legalization in New York

We (www.GaiaSagrada.com) have been watching the laws in the USA for quite a while now to see if there will be a law passed that protects shamans and religious use of the medicines. It looks like New York state will be the first to make it possible for shamans and spiritual use of the medicines!!!

If you live in New York, call or write to your representative and express your support for the bills, or whichever one you support. All it takes is a phone call or letter.

CEREMONIAL USE OF THE MEDICINES

This is the difference between New York’s bill written by Democrat Linda Rosenthal vs other bills in other states. It protects the shamans and religious use of the medicines, namely ayahuasca, psilocybin (mushrooms), San Pedro, Peyote (mescaline medicines), ibogaine, and other plant medicines, removing them from the Schedule I list of illegal substances.
