Should Native Americans be allowed to use peyote in their religious rituals? Why or why not? Provide support for your position.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Native Americans should be allowed to use peyote in their religious rituals. The United States should not restrict access to peyote and should not interfere with the use of peyote in Native American rituals. Many religious communities use a substance that can cause a change in consciousness during their ceremonies, including Christian communities who use wine as part of their sacrament. Native Americans use the peyote responsibly and should not be restricted from its use.
