Petition to Restore the Right to God-Given Plant Medicines for Holistic Healing, Spiritual, and Religious Use

Addressed To:

• The United States Congress

• The President of the United States

• The United States Supreme Court

• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

• The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

• The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

• The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)

• The American Medical Association (AMA)

• All State Legislatures and Public Health Departments

• All Pharmaceutical Corporations & Lobbying Bodies

• All Healthcare Providers and Medical Experts/Educators Who Withhold or Suppress Natural Remedies

We, the undersigned, exercise our sacred right to petition for redress of grievances under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, demanding the immediate decriminalization, protection, and lawful restoration of access to God-given plant medicines for holistic healing, spiritual awakening, and religious freedom. This is not just a matter of medical autonomy—it is a matter of natural law, spiritual sovereignty, and human rights.

Grievance:

The Unlawful Criminalization of God-Given Healing Plants

Plant Medicine is a birthright, not a controlled substance. Natural medicines such as cannabis, hemp, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote, and other unaltered plants have been used for centuries by cultures around the world to heal trauma, purify the body, expand consciousness, and commune with the divine.

These plants are not chemically synthesized; do not belong to any corporation; and were given freely by the Earth and the Creator.

And yet, through a fraudulent legal system designed to commercialize health and criminalize nature, these sacred plants have been labeled “dangerous drugs” and placed under corporate-controlled scheduling systems by the DEA and FDA—with no lawful authority to override natural law or the Constitution.

The Flexner Report & Rockefeller Medical Takeover (1910–1920s); Homeopathy, herbalism, and natural medicine were systematically dismantled through the Flexner Report, funded by the Carnegie Foundation. John D. Rockefeller, who had deep investment in chemical/pharmaceutical industries, funded only synthetic-drug-based medical schools, ensuring that natural healing was labeled “quackery” and driven underground. The resulting medical-industrial complex now functions as a for-profit cartel pushing lifelong pharmaceutical dependency, while criminalizing plants that offer true healing and liberation.

The very corporations lobbying against natural plant medicine are repeat offenders in widespread criminal fraud:

• GlaxoSmithKline had a fine/settlement of $3 Billion (2012) for the offense of fraud, illegal promotion, suppression of safety data

• Pfizer had a fine/settlement of $2.3 Billion (2009) for the offense of false claims, off-label marketing

• Johnson & Johnson had a fine/settlement of $2.2 Billion (2013) for the offense of criminal and civil violations

• Teva had a fine/settlement of $450 Million (2024) for the offense of price-fixing, kickbacks

• And many more...

If ordinary citizens acted like these corporations, they'd be imprisoned. But Big Pharma pays a fine, avoids prosecution, and keeps profiting—while natural healers are jailed.

Legal Standing:

Constitutional & Case Law Precedents

     1.  The U.S. Constitution

The First Amendment; the use of plant medicines for ceremony, connection to the divine, and spiritual healing is a protected right. Denying this right violates religious liberty and spiritual sovereignty. The Ninth Amendment; the right to use natural, unaltered plants is retained by the people. Just because it isn’t listed explicitly in the Constitution doesn’t mean it can be lawfully denied.

     2.  Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal, 546 U.S. 418 (2006)

Supreme Court upheld the use of ayahuasca for religious practice under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

     3.  Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990)

Although limited, this case acknowledged that certain religious uses of substances are constitutionally protected.

     4.  Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)

“Any law repugnant to the Constitution is void.” Corporate statutes criminalizing plant medicine are unconstitutional when applied to peaceful use.

     5.  Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906)

Distinguished natural persons from artificial entities, affirming natural persons’ right to operate privately, outside corporate jurisdiction.

Redress of Grievance:

Our Demands

     1. Immediate Decriminalization and Declassification of All Unaltered Plant Medicines

Any unaltered, God-given plant—such as cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, or peyote—must be immediately removed from the list of controlled substances. These plants must be recognized as sacred, lawful, and naturally protected.

     2.  Full Recognition of the Spiritual, Religious, and Holistic Use of Plant Medicines

Sacred use of plant medicine must be recognized as constitutionally protected under religious freedom and spiritual expression. Government interference in ceremony, prayer, or healing practices using plant medicine is a violation of spiritual liberty.

     3.  The Right to Self-Heal Without Government Control

Peaceful men and women must have the absolute right to choose how they heal, without being fined, jailed, or harassed. Government agencies must be forbidden from regulating private, natural healing choices.

     4. Federal Audit and Investigation Into Big Pharma’s Suppression of Natural Healing

A public investigation must be launched into how pharmaceutical companies have influenced laws, media, medical schools, and regulatory bodies to suppress plant medicine. The people deserve full transparency, truth, and restitution.
