O Centro Case Finally Dismissed By Federal District Court

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
In 2006, in Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao Do Vegetal , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot block a New Mexico church from using a hallucinogenic tea for religious purposes, and remanded the case for further proceedings. (See prior posting.)  Today's Albuquerque Journal reports that the case last week was finally been dismissed by a New Mexico federal district court after the parties entered a 21-page settlement agreement. According to the paper, the agreement specifies procedures for importing hoasca, and for registering, record keeping, inspection, storage and security, as well as agreement on payment of O Centro's attorneys fees.
