Definition

  • The case of United States v. Kuch (1968) established that use of illegal drugs in “religious” practice is not absolute, restricting the efforts of the 1960s drug culture to use religion as a cover for drug use. The case was a deliberate test of the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act and the Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965 to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
