The Pharmacratic Inquisition, 2005 Version

Thousands of years ago, in the pre monarchic era, psychedelic/entheogenic substances where publicly known world wide, and respected for their ability to bring forth the divine, Yahweh, God, The Great Spirit, etc. by the many cultures who used them. Often the entire tribe or community would partake in the Entheogenic rites. These rites were often used in initiation into adulthood, for healing, to help guide the community in the decision process, and to bring the direct religious experience to anyone seeking it, that might take these psychedelic sacraments properly.
Crusades were fought, Inquisitions were enacted, and the so-called "Pagan" or country people lost their lives for their Shamanic beliefs. This happened not only in Europe and the Middle East, but in the Americas under the Spanish Inquisition as well. For centuries the ruling churches hypocritically used the knowledge of the psychedelic substances and astrology for themselves, and may still do so to this very day.
