There are many Korean fables regarding the 웃음버섯 (useum beoseot), or laughter mushroom. The famous Korean mycologist 조덕현Dr. Cho Duck-Hyun wrote an excellent paper on the legends of poisonous and magic mushrooms in Korea titled 독버섯의 비밀, or The Secret of Poison Mushrooms. It’s only available in Korean language, but I highly recommend reading it if you can get it translated. You can find it here: http://www.kacn.org/data/story/500403.pdf My favorite account in Dr. Cho’s paper is an ancient story in which nuns at a Korean Buddhist monastery go mushroom hunting in the mountains around the monastery. They combine all their mushrooms into a big pot of soup and become wildly intoxicated after consuming the soup. In contemporary times, magic mushrooms occasionally appear as plot devices in Korean television shows. For example, in one episode of the Korean drama 푸른거탑, or Blue Tower, an army platoon was stricken with uncontrollable laughter and hallucinations after consuming wild “laughter mushrooms.” You can watch the 2-part episode on YouTube: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6KcxYzWT8w Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PeaRDTCcKo (Note: viewers outside Korea might need a VPN linked to Korea to watch the videos) The local Korean names of magic mushrooms often reveal the social attitudes towards these mushrooms from 미치광이버섯속 or “maniac mushroom” for the Gymnopilus genus and 환각버섯속 or “hallucinogen mushroom” for the Psilocybe genus, as well as “laughter mushroom” for some Gymnopilus and Panaeolus species. Despite the cultural significance of magic mushrooms in Korea, international mushroom literature demonstrate a limited knowledge of magic mushrooms native to Korea. Gastón Guzmán’s “A Worldwide Geographical Distribution of Neurotropic Fungi”, which is one of the biggest global reviews of magic mushrooms, only lists four magic mushrooms from Korea and the famous book “Psilocybian Mushrooms of the World” by Paul Stamets makes no mention of Korea. 4 In neighboring Japan, on the other hand, Guzman mentions 28 potential magic mushrooms and Stamets cites 10. Such inconsistencies likely stem from a number of factors, including limited access to or familiarity with Korean sources, and a comparatively larger breadth of relevant Japanese sources. Nevertheless, Korean mycological sources do mention the existence of numerous, potentially magic mushrooms in Korea. In upcoming blogs, I will investigate and review 26 potentially magic mushrooms found in Korea. There is a lot of interesting and exciting information to be shared, and I hope to set the record straight! Are We Going To Have A Proclamation For Every Ethnicity And Religion?

I Request Public Acknowledgment Of A Previous Lie By Omission From Seal Beach Police Stating That Psilocybin Mushrooms Are Completely Illegal In California And A Correction Of The Record Stating The Whole Truth That The California Cities Of Oakland, Santa Cruz, Arcata, Berkeley, And San Francisco Have Successfully Mandated Personal Use And Possession Of Certain Psychedelics As The Lowest Law Enforcement Priority. 3. I Request Public Acknowledgment Of The City Attorney's Failure To Recognize At Best And Complicit Encouragement At Worst Of The Ongoing Seal Beach Police Intimidation Specifically Directed At Me, A ~27 Year Resident. 4. I Hereby Request A Public Acknowledgment From The City Attorney Regarding Prior Acts Of Omission And Potential Violations Of My First Amendment Rights. Specifically, These Violations Occurred 5 Immediately After I Publicly Announced The Religious Nature Of My Practice And The Founding Of My Church. Following This Declaration, The City Attorney Issued A Blanket Legal Statement Asserting That Psilocybin Mushrooms—Referred To By Their Non-Religious, Secular Name—Are “Illegal In California.” This Statement Was Delivered Without Addressing The Constitutional Protections Afforded To Religious Practice, And Was Made In Direct Response To My Religious Expression Invoking The Name Of JESUS CHRIST. This Action Effectively Undermined The Legitimacy Of My Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs And Sacramental Use Of JESUS CHRIST's Flesh And Blood. It Promoted A Preference For Traditional Or Mainstream Christian Interpretations Over Nontraditional Or Indigenous Spiritual Practices. It Also Violated The Establishment Clause And Free Exercise Clause Of The First Amendment To The United States Constitution, Which Together Prohibit Government Hostility Toward Minority Religious Practices, Government Endorsement Of One Religious Interpretation Over Another, Interference With Religious Expression In A Public Forum, And The Chilling Of Protected Religious Speech. Furthermore, The City Attorney Omitted Critical Legal Context, Implying That My Religious Practice Was Categorically Illegal Under State Law—When In Fact, The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) And The Gonzales V. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União Do Vegetal (UDV) Supreme Court Decision Provide A Clear And Recognized Pathway For Religious Exemption To Controlled Substance Laws. The UDV Case Affirmed That A Sincere Religious Use Of A Federally Controlled Substance May Not Be Prohibited Without The Government Meeting The Highest Level Of Legal Justification—Known As Strict Scrutiny. The Burden Is On The Government To Show A Compelling Interest And That It Has Chosen The Least Restrictive Means To Advance That Interest. By Failing To Disclose This Legal Framework, The City Attorney Not Only Misled The Public, But Also Attempted To Dismiss My Constitutionally Protected Religious Rights Through Misrepresentation And Selective Omission. This Public Statement, Issued By A Government Official In A Civic Forum, Not Only Dismissed The Spiritual Framework I Had Explicitly Articulated, But Also Attempted To Reframe My Protected Religious Exercise As A Criminal Matter—Thus Chilling My Religious Speech, Discrediting The Legitimacy Of My Sacrament, And Reinforcing State Entanglement With Religious Interpretation, Contrary To The Principle Of Government Neutrality In Religious Matters. This Act Of Governmental Overreach Echoes The Historical Violation Of Indigenous Religious Freedom On This Land—An Ongoing Legacy Of Cultural Suppression And Spiritual Violation. Lastly, I Assert That I Am Under No Obligation To Prove My Religious Exemption Through Man-Made Legal Mechanisms Unless And Until I Deem The Matter Ripe. My Exercise Of Faith Exists Prior To And 6 Beyond Civil Authorization, As Protected By The Constitution And Recognized By Precedent. This Is Anchored In The Foundational Principle That Religious Liberty Is An Inalienable Right, Not A Privilege Bestowed Or Regulated At The Discretion Of The State. 5. I Request Public Acknowledgment Of Two Separate Brown Act Violations. During (4), The City Attorney Gave A Public Response To My Public Comment Without Agendizing The Item To Give Me A Chance To Respond With The Omitted Information. During (2), The City Mayor Gave A Public Response To My Public Comment In Which Police Were Asked About Psilocybin Mushrooms. This Item Was Not Agendized And I Was Not Given The Chance To Respond With The Omitted Information. Because The Item Was Illegaly Agendized Twice Without A Public Hearing, I Request A Legal Placement On A Future Agenda With A Chance For The Public To Speak. If The Public Record Is Corrected By Acknowledgment Of All 5 Issues, Behaviors Are Promised To Change, And Placement On A Future Agenda Occurs During The Seal Beach City Council Meeting On 5/27/25, I Will Drop All Consideration Of Legal Action With Handshakes Of Forgiveness. 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil Action For Deprivation Of Rights https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1983 https://steeringlaw.com/police-misconduct-attorney-seal-beach/ https://www.moseleycollins.com/police-misconduct-lawyer-in-seal-beach- ca.html https://pba.memberclicks.net/search-member-directory#/ https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/ https://www.terrapinlegal.com/ https://www.thefire.org/ https://www.aclu.org/ Satan Drives Out Satan All Around Me The I AM Holds Me Together Sin Tempts You With Momentary Peace Division Never Lasts Forever Love Verbatim Word For Word Literally, In The Flesh And Blood Remember Ear Cut By Sword Here Forever, Good Is Evil's Judge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If theft is still a problem in the Target shopping center, it might be time to look into employees giving tips/insider theft.

Why 3D Printing Buildings Leads to Problems (Modular Prefab Concrete For Non-Unique Building Parts + 3D Printed Concrete For Unique Building Parts Seems Like Sweet Spot) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhAwPFIUF_4 Comment: “I’ve worked closely with a leading concrete 3D printing company for several years now, so I hope my insight into the actual construction process provides some perspective. First, one clarification: There is no gravel aggregate in 3D printing concrete. It is only sand. You're right that the vertical integration is very strong in this industry, but there is already internal pressure to break that up. I expect in 10 years or so, you'll see more open-access tools available to architects and construction companies alike. I can't be too specific and honor my non-disclosure agreements, but there is recognition that the ability for architects to play with shape is very limited for now, which also limits the primary advantage of concrete 3D printing over other methods: complex shapes cost the same as simple ones. The primary reasons IMO for the vertical integration is 1) that there has been a high learning curve for the industry and 2) the business case relies on minimizing labor costs and the strategies for dealing with that 9 are still being prototyped. Normally trivial things like laying foundations, running plumbing, tying roof timbers into the frame, and lintels as you mentioned, are difficult for concrete 3D printed construction. It's only in the last year or so that acceptable, repeatable solutions have been identified for most of these and are finding their way into standard design practices. But even then, there are still maybe 5 or 10 years more of on-the-ground construction needed to establish best practice. It's not too different from the way building materials and building science radically changed in the 1980's, leading to a decade of extremely poorly built houses prone to water damage and short lifespans. It wasn't until maybe 20 years after that best practices for high-quality construction had been standardized. I would push back on the lack of repairability, though. This has always been an issue with concrete construction, and it's likely to become increasingly common for plaster or stucco finishes to be applied to internal walls, allowing for intrusive renovations to be reintegrated. Structural stability is not likely to be an issue since all walls have reinforcement every half meter anyway and often exceed building strength standards by an order of magnitude. Further, virtually all concrete 3D printing for now is slab-on- grade construction, which already has the same repairability issues you mention but is already widely adopted and has best practices for dealing with things like electrical and plumbing repair. I would also point out that the timber frame construction that we love so much is largely an anomaly unique to the U.S. where wood is abundant and cheap. Concrete 3D printed homes have the (so far unrealized) potential of being many decades or centuries more durable than frame buildings, which will change the design requirements that often contribute to design choices that later need renovations and repairs. I would also push back on the criticism of how windows and doors are seated in the concrete homes. I don't doubt that many early concrete 3D printed homes were sealed with silicone only, but 1) the gap between windows and walls is already standard in frame construction and addressed with shims, spray foam, and trim and 2) the 3D printing companies have already started to adopt the same building techniques used by frame construction. Echoing much of what you said, IMO concrete 3D printing has a high potential for unique design that won't be unlocked until architects are given freer access to the tools and pre-fab construction is a necessary companion to this industry, but there is still a lot of building science that is being worked out. There are already some serious advantges, such as all walls having a native R40 insulation rating, but these will be tempered by the inherent limitations. I don't expect to see a rapid adoption of 3D printed construction for another 5 or 10 years and for the U.S. market share to cap around 20% and primarily remain in the residential and light commercial construction spaces. I also think that the current bare-wall aesthetic will fall out of favor out in that timeframe since it will prove difficult to clean. I also expect that 10 environmental costs will remain high as long as cement production relies on fossil fuels and concrete aggregate relies on mined sand. I also expect that a future use case for heavy construction is using 3D printing to create forms for much thicker concrete constructions, particularly for foundations, buttresses, and pillars, such as you see in airport construction.” I Investigated Utah’s DEADLY Soda Addiction… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlNJc_OLbYw https://playactivate.com/ Increased sedentary behavior is associated with neurodegeneration and worse cognition in older adults over a 7-year period despite high levels of physical activity https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.70157 Parkinson's patients who take 'magic mushrooms' see key benefits, study finds https://www.foxnews.com/health/parkinsons-patients-who-take-magic- mushrooms-see-key-benefits-study-finds Trump surgeon general pick praised unproven psychedelic therapy, said mushrooms helped her find love https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/15/health/casey-means-psychedelic- therapy Military Land Is 4,336 Acres Or 60.7% Of Seal Beach...

Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.) during public meetings conducted by Seal Beach’s City Council. The fundamental purpose of the Brown Act is to ensure that the public has the ability to meaningfully participate in local government proceedings, which includes the right to make public comments and receive fair treatment under open meeting laws. 11 Specifically, I wish to address the following concerns: 1. Inability to Respond to False or Misleading Statements: * It has been observed that after I make public comments, members of the council and/or city staff respond to my remarks. However, I am not afforded the opportunity to address their responses within the same meeting, effectively silencing my ability to correct or clarify statements that may be false, misleading, or deceptive by omission. This directly undermines the principle of open and meaningful discourse as envisioned by the Brown Act.  * The California Supreme Court has reinforced the importance of open and fair discussions in McKee v. Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 354, where the court emphasized that restricting public input while allowing government officials to comment without challenge is inconsistent with the transparency goals of the Brown Act.  2. Prohibition on Addressing Staff: * The restrictions placed upon me and other members of the public from directing comments toward city staff—especially when they are the ones providing statements that require public scrutiny— appear to be an unreasonable and arbitrary limitation on public participation. Furthermore, this may give the staff a feeling of false sense of security protecting their statements from legal scrutiny. The Brown Act does not prohibit the public from addressing staff members during public comment, and such restrictions seem inconsistent with its purpose of transparency and accountability.  * In Chaffee v. San Francisco Library Commission (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 109, the court affirmed that public participation is a fundamental aspect of government meetings and should not be unduly restricted, emphasizing the need for fairness in addressing public concerns.  3. Discussion of Public Comments Without Proper Agenda Notice: * Members of the council have engaged in discussions regarding my public comments without first properly agendizing the topics I address. This practice violates the Brown Act’s requirement that discussions and deliberations on non-agendized items not take place, as it deprives the public of advance notice and the ability to participate fully in the discussion.  * I am grateful that the city council is listening and willing to speak even momentarily in response to public concerns. However, even an extremely time- limited agendized discussion would add fairness and transparency to misleading statements by staff. By failing to agendize discussions about my comments, the council is creating an imbalance in the exchange 12 of information, which the Brown Act seeks to prevent.   * Additionally, in my public comments, I am using meta-communication to agendize the process by which we agendize. The term “agendize” itself is a completely made-up word that devalues public discourse and reflects a bureaucratic approach that obstructs meaningful public participation rather than facilitating it. This concern aligns with the ruling in White v. City of Norwalk (1990) 900 F.2d 1421, where the court emphasized that public meetings should foster meaningful participation and that arbitrary restrictions on discourse can infringe upon First Amendment rights.   * The word "agendize" does not appear anywhere in the Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.). The law refers to "placing an item on the agenda" or "agenda requirements," but "agendize" is not an official legal term. It is a bureaucratic jargon word that has become commonly used in government settings but lacks formal recognition in the Brown Act itself.  4. Process for Placing an Item on the Agenda: * The process for placing an item on a city council agenda varies by jurisdiction, but under the Brown Act, it does not require a unanimous decision by the council. Instead, different cities have different policies: * Individual Council Members: Some cities allow one or two council members to request an item be placed on a future agenda. The exact number required depends on the city’s local rules or policies. For example, in Los Angeles, a single council member can introduce a motion to be considered in a future meeting. Similarly, in San Diego, two council members are required to place an item on the docket.  * Majority Vote: In some cities, adding an item to a future agenda requires a majority vote of the council at a meeting. This process ensures that council members collectively decide whether an issue warrants further discussion. The City of Berkeley, for instance, follows this model, requiring a majority vote to place an item on the agenda.  * Courts have upheld the importance of agenda- setting transparency. In Preven v. City of Los Angeles (2019) 32 Cal.App.5th 925, the court ruled that public participation in government decision-making is a core right under the Brown Act, reinforcing that the public and individual council members must be given fair opportunities to introduce topics for discussion.  These practices create an unfair and unbalanced environment where public voices are effectively suppressed, while city officials retain unrestricted latitude to control discourse without public challenge. Such actions may constitute a violation of both the letter and spirit of the Brown Act. 13 I respectfully request that the city review its meeting procedures and take immediate corrective actions, including: * Allowing public speakers the opportunity to address responses made to their comments within the same meeting.  * Eliminating any restrictions that prevent members of the public from addressing staff when their statements are at issue.  * Ensuring that discussions related to public comments follow proper agenda procedures to comply with the Brown Act’s transparency requirements. * Switching to Individual Council Member placing of items on the agenda to emphasize the sanctity of every individual living in Seal Beach  Failure to address these issues may necessitate further action, including but not limited to submitting a formal complaint to the appropriate oversight agencies and seeking legal remedies to ensure compliance with state law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request a written response outlining the steps the city will take to address these concerns. Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter. P.S. Still Waiting On That Seal Beach City Legal Document Stating The Boundaries Marking The Well.

Specifically, I have reason to believe that my emails to members of the Seal Beach City Council and city staff may have been intentionally blocked or filtered by someone within city administration in the Fall/Winter of 2024. As a resident of Seal Beach, I understand that I have a right to communicate with my elected representatives and city staff regarding matters of public interest. Any directive or policy that restricts this communication raises serious legal concerns under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §§ 54950–54963), the California Public Records Act (CPRA) (Government Code §§ 6250–6270), and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Brown Act ensures transparency and public participation in local government. Blocking my emails to city officials may constitute an unlawful restriction on my ability to engage in civic matters and access public information. Likewise, the 15 CPRA mandates that governmental communications be open for public scrutiny. If city staff have deliberately restricted my access to communicate with officials, it could be an unlawful attempt to circumvent public records laws and governmental accountability. Furthermore, the First Amendment guarantees my right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Any action taken by city staff to suppress my communication, particularly if done based on viewpoint discrimination, could amount to a constitutional violation. Relevant case law, such as Lindke v. Freed and O'Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier, suggests that when public officials act in their official capacity, they must not engage in viewpoint-based censorship, including blocking communications from constituents. To ensure transparency and accountability, I respectfully request an internal review and disclosure of the following: 1. Any internal directives, policies, or communications instructing city staff or IT personnel to block, filter, or otherwise restrict emails from my email address jo8n@proton.me or any other specific senders.  2. A list of email addresses, domains, or individuals that have been blocked from contacting city officials and staff in the last year.  3. Any internal discussions or justifications for implementing such restrictions, including whether such actions were directed by city officials or staff members.  4. The criteria and procedures used by the city’s IT department to filter or block external communications.  If such a policy or directive exists, I request an explanation of its basis, legal justification, and the process by which it was implemented. If no such directive exists, I ask that immediate steps be taken to ensure my emails are properly received by their intended recipients. I would appreciate a written response within 30 days confirming the receipt of this request and outlining the next 16 steps in addressing this matter. If necessary, I am willing to file a formal Public Records Act request to obtain relevant documentation. Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution that upholds public trust and the right to open communication with our local government. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/ codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode =GOV§ionNum=54950 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/ billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180 SB31 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/ codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode =CONS§ionNum=SEC.%202.&article =I ןמא ןמא ⭼⭽⭾⭿⮀⮁⮂ ၒၓ ࿬࿭࿮ ⯴⯵⯶ ⍾ JO8N On Monday, March 10th, 2025 at 6:44 AM, JO8N <JO8N@proton.me> wrote: Dear Lisa, Nathan, Joe, Ben, Patty, Patrick, Mike H., And Nick G., Police intimidation that chills free speech is well recognized under First Amendment jurisprudence. In Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169 (1972), the Supreme Court held that government action that deters individuals from 17 participating in public discourse— whether through direct harassment or other forms of coercion—can violate First Amendment rights. In Feiner v. New York, 414 U.S. 632 (1974), the Court underscored that police conduct which disrupts or deters political expression, even if ostensibly aimed at maintaining order, must not infringe on the constitutional right to free speech. Moreover, Ward v. Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781 (1989) illustrates that any regulation or enforcement action must be content neutral and carefully tailored to avoid suppressing speech based solely on its message. These cases establish that if police officers single out individuals for the content of their speech or for the topics they plan to address—such as advocating for "psilocybin mushroom" decriminalization, Religious Freedom, 18 Jesus Christ or discussing other politically charged issues—the resulting intimidation can constitute an impermissible infringement on First Amendment protections. Additionally, lower court decisions have consistently found that law enforcement actions that create a chilling effect on political participation are subject to strict scrutiny. When officers position themselves near a speaker, not to maintain public safety but to deter expression, it may be seen as targeted harassment. In December 2023's Seal Beach City Council Meeting, Mike H. of police staff entered the public section of the council chambers. He decided to sit near me when the choir sang. In December 2024's Seal Beach City Council Meeting, Mike H. entered the public section once again. He decided to stand directly next 19 to me during the National Anthem and when the choir sang. As I was in two completely different places in the room each year, this establishes a patterned targeting that could potentially be viewed as apparent police intimidation that chills my free speech before my public comment. In addition, Nick N. and Yosa of police staff have entered the public section of the council chambers directly behind the podium in view of the camera numerous times. This happened exactly during my public comment, to the point where I took time away from my allotted time to acknowledge the repeated pattern. I can only assume that this was a directive given by Mike H. of police staff due to his body language and the potential intimidation's regularity. “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is 20 taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."

Additio nally, I am raising concer ns regardi ng a potenti al violatio n of my First Amend ment religiou s rights in connec tion with a previou s statem ent 22 made by the city attorne y when I publicly announ ced my Church ’s use of "psilocy bin mushro oms" as one of its sacram ents. Summ ary of Brown Act Violati on During public comme nt, I addres sed the council regardi ng the decrimi nalizati on of "psilocy bin mushro oms". After I had finishe d speaki ng, Lisa asked Mike H. from police staff a clarifyin g questio 23 n about the legal status of "psilocy bin mushro oms". He respon ded by stating that "psilocy bin mushro oms" are illegal under Califor nia law but failed to mentio n that multipl e Califor nia cities, includin g Oaklan d, San Francis co, Santa Cruz, and Arcata, have decrimi nalized "psilocy bin mushro oms" for years. This omissio n misled the 24 public and the council by falsely implyin g that local govern ments lack the ability to depriori tize "psilocy bin mushro oms" enforce ment, which is demon strably untrue. This is not the first time city officials have engage d in mislea ding statem ents regardi ng "psilocy bin mushro om" law. One year ago, after I announ ced the formati on of my church, which 25 uses "psilocy bin mushro oms", "N,N- Dimeth yltrypta mine", and "N,N- DMT/M AOI" as sacram ents, the city attorne y similarl y respon ded that "psilocy bin mushro oms" are illegal under Califor nia law— without acknow ledging religiou s protecti ons under federal law. Further more, both the city attorne y and police staff failed to disclos e critical person 26 al informa tion that I present ed regardi ng my own case: I was hospita lized after consu ming a psyche delic but not charge d with any crime (which I am eternall y grateful for) and also found in posses sion of "psilocy bin mushro oms" and "N,N- DMT" within Seal Beach. The repeate d omissio ns by both the city attorne y and police staff created a false 27 narrativ e that "psilocy bin mushro om" decrimi nalizati on has not been succes sfully implem ented in some Califor nia cities and ignored key eviden ce— includin g my own experie nce— showin g that local authorit ies have already adopte d compa ssionat e de facto decrimi nalizati on practic es for the well being of residen ts. Potenti al First Amend ment 28 Violati on Under RFRA & Gonzal es v. UDV (2006) My concer n goes beyond transpa rency violatio ns under the Brown Act. The city attorne y’s respon se a year ago, when I announ ced the formati on of my church, raises serious questio ns about whethe r my First Amend ment religiou s rights were dismiss ed or underm ined in violatio n of the Religio us Freedo 29 m Restor ation Act (RFRA) and the Gonzal es v. O Centro Espírita Benefic ente União do Vegetal (UDV) Supre me Court case. Legal Preced ent: Religio us Use of Contro lled Substa nces In Gonzal es v. UDV (2006), the U.S. Supre me Court ruled that a religiou s organiz ation could legally use a federall y controll ed substa nce ("ayahu asca") 30 under RFRA protecti ons, as the govern ment failed to demon strate a compel ling interest in prohibit ing its religiou s use. Under RFRA (42 U.S.C. § 2000bb -1), the govern ment cannot substa ntially burden religiou s exercis e unless it can prove a compel ling govern ment interest and that the restricti on is the least restricti ve means of achievi ng that interest . 31 The DEA and federal courts have recogni zed that some religiou s groups may legally use controll ed substa nces like "peyote " and "ayahu asca" under these protecti ons. By failing to acknow ledge these protecti ons when I announ ced my church, the city attorne y omitted critical legal context , implyin g that my religiou s practic e was categor ically 32 illegal under state law— when in fact, federal law provide s a pathwa y for religiou s exempt ions. This potenti al suppre ssion of my religiou s expres sion in a public forum could be seen as a violatio n of my First Amend ment rights. Reque sted Correc tive Action s To remedy this issue, I formall y request the followin g: 33 Public Correct ion of the Record – The city must acknow ledge the omissio n and issue a formal correcti on clarifyin g that: Multipl e Califor nia cities have already decrimi nalized "psilocy bin mushro oms" despite state prohibit ion. Religio us protecti ons exist under RFRA, and the UDV case establis hed that religiou s use of controll ed substa nces may be legally 34 protect ed under federal law. Agend a Item for Further Discus sion – Given the mislea ding statem ents made by city officials , I request that the council place "psilocy bin mushro om" decrimi nalizati on on a future agenda to ensure the discuss ion is based on accurat e and comple te informa tion. Accoun tability for Repeat ed Omissi ons – The city should 35 implem ent training or proced ural safegu ards to prevent city officials from selectiv ely omittin g key legal and factual informa tion, especi ally when addres sing the content s of public comme nts. Legal Review of First Amend ment Implica tions – The city should review its public statem ents and policies regardi ng religiou s use of controll ed substa nces to 36 ensure compli ance with RFRA and Supre me Court preced ent. Legal Basis for Brown Act Compl aint Under Califor nia Govern ment Code § 54960. 1, the city has 30 days to correct this violatio n or face potenti al legal action to nullify any decisio ns made under mislea ding or incomp lete informa tion. Failure to acknow ledge and correct this 37 omissio n could be interpre ted as a continu ed effort to obscur e public access to truthful and balanc ed informa tion, violatin g the core principl es of the Brown Act. I request a written respon se acknow ledging receipt of this letter and outlinin g the correcti ve actions the city intends to take.
