…religious freedom in Oregon…

…courts and state agencies that are willing to run roughshod over Oregonians’ “rights of conscience.”

“In Oregon there is no legal way to be a psilocybin religion, there’s no legal way to be an ayahuasca religion. There’s no way to be any type of Schedule I religion unless it’s a peyote religion and if you are doing that even if you were to, say for instance, sue the Federal government and secure the right to practice that at the federal level, you’re still illegal at the state level. And so that is part of this conversation that has been I guess really confusing to people because it is this kind of technical, legal area that implicates our federalist system, it doesn’t make intuitive sense to a lot of people that your legal federally but you are still committing a crime under state law,” says Jon Dennis, Esq. A lawyer for the Alliance Defending Freedom working to protect religious freedoms used the term “right of conscience.” Working to protect… religious freedoms, our “right of conscience,” is all the more important… it shouldn’t be that way. In addition to the protections of the free exercise of religion in the First Amendment, Oregon has extremely strong protections of religious freedom in the Oregon Constitution – especially Section 2 and Section 3 of Article I: Section 2. Freedom of worship. All men shall be secure in the Natural right, to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences. Section 3. Freedom of religious opinion. No law shall in any case whatever control the free exercise, and enjoyment of religeous [sic] opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience.
