FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2002 Utah's Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging whether non-Indians can use peyote. Two men claim they have a right to the hallucinogen as practitioners of the Native American Church. But under a federal exemption, only members of federally recognized tribes are allowed usage. Neither man can document his Indian heritage, so each claims freedom of religion allows the use of the drug. Get the Story:
