Description:
An Ashland church has filed a preemitive federal lawsuit over its use of a hallucinogenic tea.

The lawsuit argues that the Church of the Holy Light of the Queen has the religious freedom to use Ayahuasca tea, because it's used to try to achieve a direct connection to Jesus.

The church is a branch of the Santa Daime, which is described as a mix of Catholicism and Shamanistic Brazilian beliefs.

Ayahuasca tea originated in the upper Amazon. It is made from two plants which contain a hallucinogenic drug called DMT. After drinking it some may get nauseous, vomit, and have powerful hallucinations.

Neighbors of the church say they sporadically hear hymn-like singing coming from the house. They say lots of cars often visit the home, but that's stopped in recent months.

Hymn-like singing? The neighbours must be trembelling in fear.
