I thought the Law enforcement article was very interesting and the write made some very compelling points. the writer argues that using psychedelic drugs used for religious purposes should be allowed in the U.S based on the first amendment. He states that there is a major difference between leisure drug use and religious drug use, in leisure use of drugs there is no control and there could also be selling, buying, and laundering. Drug usage in a religious setting is controlled in a sense that the religion giving these drugs to their congregation for a better spiritual experience knows how much of the drug should be given. The problem the writer has is law enforcement is cracking down on drug use and there busting up religious ceremonies because of the drugs. He understands that the law enforcement officers are trying to keep drugs off the streets and away from everybody, but especially children. Everybody should know my view on this but i will state it anyway. If the drugs are illegal I do not care of the drugs are used for a religious ceremony or not they are illegal in the U.S.A which means they should not be allowed.
The second of the electronic reserve readings had to do with another reality (I think) i have to admit i really had a hard time keeping up with this writer, she went from one place to another so quickly. I believe the general idea of this article is she says Americans should leave this reality create a new language and live in that reality (something like that) , so shes basically saying humans "should ban a belief system for a direct experience".
