i am a Shaman so where's my go$$am religious freedom???

I am not saying that all Shamans use drugs, but enough of us do in our spiritual practice that it is fair to say that our religious freedom is being encroached upon by the system. We use drugs to open our third eye so it is easier to travel to other dimensions to learn healing and stuff which i will go into deeper later. First, i will present the wikipedia explanation of what a Shaman is because i do agree with it.

"Shamanism (/ˈʃɑːmən/ SHAH-men or /ˈʃeɪmən/ SHAY-mən) is a practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with a spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world.[1]

A shaman is someone who is regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing.[2]

Shamans are normally 'called' by dreams or signs which require lengthy training. However, shamanic powers may be 'inherited'" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanism.

I am one who inherited it as i have held this position in other lives, and my goddess, Maman Brigette, does work with me in my dreams. I do get visions that show me something inside a person and how to fix it...not always but sometimes... i am sick of saying this will fix your sick kid and being ignored because the doctor says it ain't so...goddam doctors r trained to work for big pharma...the whole medical industry is tied up ...i have cited all of this....but people just call me crazy. Well, they used to call me crazy, but i am educated now and i can check them with research ;)

This author is connected to the Ways of the Ancients, and my whole being screams that we need to go back to the days of living in harmony with Mother Earth before it all goes to shit. The Rainbow Prophesies tell about people like me so i will present a portion that is relevant to my chosen topic today.

~Circle of All Nations Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishnabe, From Ancient Wampum Belt~

"In the time of the Seventh Fire, a New People would emerge. They would retrace their steps to find the wisdom that was left by the side of the trail long ago. Their steps would take them to the elders, who they would ask to guide them on their journey. If the New People remain strong in their quest, the sacred drum will again sound its voice. There will be an awakening of the people, and the sacred fire will again be lit. At this time, the light-skinned race will be given a choice between two roads. One road is the road of greed and technology without wisdom or respect for life. This road represents a rush to destruction. The other road is spirituality, a slower path that includes respect for all living things. If we choose the spiritual path, we can light yet another fire, an Eight Fire, and begin an extended period of Peace and healthy growth."

~Prophecies on a Circular Wing, His Crazy Horse. 1842-1877~

"They will return, they will return again. All over the Earth, they are returning again. Ancient teachings of the Earth, ancient songs of the Earth. They are returning again. My friend, they are returning, I give them to you. And through them, you will understand, you will see. They are returning again upon the Earth"...~♥~ ~His Crazy Horse~

The "war on drugs" is part of the reason that we don't really have religious freedom in America. This trumped up bullshit war has destroyed many lives. It makes no sense to be free to purchase alcohol and ciggies laced with carcinogens, yet we cannot grow a plant, cactus, or mushroom without fear of going to jail which negatively affects the whole family.

Many Sacred Plants that Mother Nature provided for us to use are illegal such as marijuana, mushrooms, opium, cocoa leaves, etc., and the Sacred Plant tobacco is poisoned at the factory before we can get it. These Sacred Plants do help us go to other dimensions from which we speak to and learn from wondrous souls and spirits from plants, animals, to actual Forces of Nature. For example, the last time i was granted a mushroom journey i was reminded that the Olde Timers found wells with dowsing rods, and dug their water from the ground for free instead of paying a greedy person to pump water to our homes.

My gods, my Spirit, my Shamanism are boosted by psychedelic substances yet i am unable to obtain them so i ask again, where's my goddam religious freedom???
