Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les relations entre l'expérience religieuse et les états modifiés de conscience sont aussi anciennes que l'humanité. Malgré cela, les lois fédérales anti-drogues ne réussissent pas à s'accomoder de l'usage religieux des substances réglementées. Cet article propose un modèle d'accomodement qui ne nuirait pas au schéma fédéral du contrôle strict des drogues.
ENGLISH :
The relationship between religious experience and alternative states of consciousness is as old as humanity itself. From time immemorial, visionary states have been entered through the ritual use of mind-changing substances. Despite the uncontroverted fact that particular substances have been used for thousands of years to achieve religious experiences and insights, the federal drug laws fail to accomodate religiously motivated users. The purpose of this article is to present a model from which such a nonsectarian accomodation may be developed, while retaining the federal scheme for the strict control of drugs. (Author's abstract)
