WTF indeed.

He should be acquitted, even according to the ridiculous status of ayahuasca in France. In the source link in the Ayahuasca Forums (a website of information on sects, wtf again), translating from spanish:

Quote:
The reason for the trial starts with the report of the family of a woman who participated in the seminars of this association (> L'Echelle, in France - relevant bit here) ; in the context of a divorce process, her ex-husband reported for the use of ayahuasca in (Mabit's) seminars, and for the fact she was encouraged to participate in the program of the Takiwasi center in Perú (...)


It sounds like a woman breaking up with her husband (maybe related to aya insights?) and the husband throwing a tantrum. Either that, or a sting operation.

Let's hope for the best. Right now precedents of another trial in Chile is good, and new research reports should prove invaluable. But if Mabit used ayahuasca in France, and the judge is not reasonable and sticks to the letter of the law...

The french authorities are notoriously anti-drugs. Meanwhile, drugwars in the french getto´s are getting so far out of hand that the military has to clean up the streets to prevent entire neighbourhoods from killing eachother. Some parisian getto´s are not less dangerous than the US/mexican border. The police doesn´t come when you call them because they´re too afraid, and also firefighters and ambulances don´t come to these areas anynmore because of the snipers. Innocent people die when they get caught in firefights between the various gangs. When you want to buy drugs in paris though, you don´t need to look very hard. French teenagers smoke more cannabis than most other teenagers. Definately more than dutch high school kids. So basically the french authorities have managed to plumeth their city´s into a state of war and anarchy, only to see the availability and abuse of drugs spread even more.
But the french leaders don´t want to admit defeat, so they´ll continue to sacrifice their own people to gangwars etc.
