“Medicine” churches are popping up in #Texas, offering members a potential legal cover for #psychedelic rituals.

People spend thousands to learn to administer #bufo, a trendy but rare substance. Experts worry there's little oversight, leaving these groups ripe for abuse. And what Andrew Logan experienced with the Universal Shamans of the New Tomorrow left him shaken.

A Bad Trip with the Toad Shaman

Psychedelic churches charge thousands to teach practitioners to administer bufo, a trendy “sacrament.” But experts warn of hidden dangers.

The Texas Observer

Adding it to my growing list of reasons to start a "real" church:

• Local property tax evasion on land speculation
• State sales tax evasion on bulk mutual aid purchases
• Fed. tax dodge (own nothing, vow of poverty, everything is owned by church)
• Perfect venue for community meetings/music shows
• Marry my friends for cheap (already doing this)
•Shaman able to administer sacraments: Ayahuasca, Bufo, Marihuana??
