To add to the mix of state and religion, I was interested in the article in Sunday's NY Times about legalized peyote sellers in the southwest. Peyote is an illegal substance (categorized the same as heroin, marijuana or LSD), but is permitted to be collected (apparently it has not been domesticated) by licensed collectors and sold to members of the Native American Church who can prove that they are (a) church members and (b) at least 1/4 American Indian.
Think of the consitutional issues that raises.
