Is Peyote legal in America?

Some news to report.  After being clean for a little bit of time, I've since relapsed.  Hard.  Guess it's easier to be under the influence.   

Just try again later.  Eventually you'll get it if you really want it.

I don't even know where to begin.  I felt happier sober.  Even had quit drinking too.  I dunno what happened.  It's odd too, as I'll see that show Intervention and see where their lives took em, and think "I'm not like them."  But then I see where I am, and realize what I gotta do.  I don't know if I care anymore.  I'm a give it a second go-round, see what happens.

Is Peyote legal in America?

To my understanding, it's illegal.  Although, there's exemptions when it comes to Native Americans and their churches using them as part of the sacrament/medicine, in which it's usage is allowed.  But, if one were just go out, buy some in say, Illinois, for usage not affiliated with any church, you'd get jailed, much like any other drug.

That's basically correct.  Religious use by Native Americans is not illegal under federal law, but it is still illegal in 45 of 50 states under state law.  I believe it's perfectly legal on tribal lands.   

I think peyote is legal in Canada, but it doesn't grow there, so that's not much help!

And, if I'm not mistaken, Native's can mark "No" if asked when applying for the Armed Forces on the question about illegal drug usage.  Something like that.

In the U.S.A. we are living in a time when capitalism is dead. We get the best of both worlds, socialism (lots of life-invasive government programs that rob our paychecks) AND fascism (goverment controlled by corporations and who protects it's interests less by innovation and more by military action). Anything that is organic and cannot be controlled by the government, which is being in turn controlled by corporations, including pharmaceutical ones, is sadly illegal.

I believe that's correct.  However, a private employer can refuse to employ them for failing a drug test.

Peas are organic and legal.

Okay, I'll karma you for that. DRUGS is what I meant.

A former smoker and drink on occasion, I never really felt any pull to try anything.  I became a smoker working in retail as it was a common stress relief.  Alcohol in low dosage is alright.  Hate being drunk.

I don't mind the drunk part so much.  It's the day after, when you get the hangover, the dry heaves, the vomiting, the staying in bed all day cause the room keeps spinning, and by the time that's all over, it's 6PM and the day is already shot.

Oddly, I didn't try anything until I got a job in a restaurant, and between the long hours, dealing with co-workers, dealing with customers, etc., that I started anything.
