Psychedelics Church Sues Cops over Botched $200,000 Magic Mushroom Raid

Last week, the Zide Door Church of Entheogenic Plants in Oakland, California sued both the city and the cops over a raid from back in 2020 which they felt harmed their religious rights. Police officers confiscated some $200,000 worth of magic mushrooms as well as marijuana from the church, reports Vice. According to the church, they are “a non-denominational, interfaith religious organization that supports the use and safe access of all entheogenic plants with a focus on cannabis and mushrooms.” Church members are of the belief that psychedelic mushrooms are essential for the evolution of religion and communication.
