Secret federal deal advances Iowa church's plan to use controlled substances
Original: Secret deal with feds moves Iowa church closer to use of controlled substances
An Iowa church has reached a confidential agreement with federal authorities that moves it closer to legally using controlled substances in its religious practices, according to the Iowa Capital Dispatch. The secrecy surrounding the deal has drawn attention, as similar cases nationally typically involve congregations seeking exemptions to use substances such as psychedelics or other prohibited drugs in ceremonies. Religious liberty advocates and drug policy observers are watching the case closely.
Why now: The unusual combination of a confidential federal arrangement and religious drug use raises legal and religious-liberty questions.
