This document is a motion filed in Gallagher v. FDA requesting a Rule 5.1 hearing to address the court's jurisdiction over the plaintiff's claims regarding religious use of the substance 4-OH-MiPT. The plaintiff argues that 4-OH-MiPT is treated as a non-scheduled substance for non-human uses, and that their temple believes it is a sacred substance used in rituals.

The motion cites several Supreme Court cases establishing religious exemptions for controlled substances and jurisdictional statutes.

DC DISTRICT COURT

Gallagher v. FDA, 18-2154

Motion for RULE 5.1 Hearing & Jurisdiction Response


I would first like to point out that the Defendant Completely ignored the CDER and other aspects of this
Case, involving Marijuana as an Investigational New Drug and the NIDA contract with the University of
Mississippi.

But...

This is a Statement of Jurisdiction, Standing, and a Motion for a Rule 5.1 Hearing. The issue at hand is
that the FDA and DEA are treating 4-OH-MiPT, Miprocin, when ingested by Humans, as if it is a Schedule
I Substance. But when not for Human Ingestion, it is being Treated as a Regular Molecule for Buy, Sell,
Trade and Give-Away, as if it is not a Scheduled Substance. For example, if I wanted to use it to create a
New Paint, I could Legally do that under Federal Law, or if I wanted to add it to an Ant Poison, or if I
wanted to use it as an Ingredient in Plant Food, and many people use these Method of Sales as
Disguises. That is not what I am trying to do, I am not looking for a Loop Hole, I am saying that our
Temple, the Shaivite Temple, believes that 4-OH-MiPT, Miprocin, is a Soma, a Sacred Drink, a Sacred
Substance, used by and given to us by the Gods. Sasha Shulgin is the Inventor of this Substance, and
he is the Saint, or Dead Guru of our Temple. He is the Founder, we are his Prophets.

We ask that Religious use of this Substance be treated no differently than the other forms of use, not for
Human Consumption, provided by Federal Law. We ask that we be allowed to Manufacture and
Transport this NON-SCHEDULED SUBSTANCE, and we ask that we be able to use it in Ritual and
Ceremony.

I am not asking for a Medical, or Clinical License, in fact I argue that Religion can not be forced to
retrieve licenses.

I further argue that Standing is proven by the Document Attached to the Complain, in which Stephen D
Hardeman denies me a Religious Exemption, says the “FDA Doesn’t do that” and then has an email
discussion with me about it. That is my Standing, I already asked the DEA to do this. The DEA was
FORCED to create an Exemption Process after Gonzales v. O Centro.

Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal​, 546 U.S. 418 (2006), was a ​United
States Supreme Court​ case in which the Court held that, under the ​Religious Freedom Restoration
Act​, the government had failed to show a compelling interest in prosecuting religious adherents for
drinking a sacramental tea containing a ​Schedule I controlled substance​. After the federal
government seized its sacramental tea, the ​União do Vegetal​ (UDV), the ​New Mexican​ branch of a
Brazilian church that imbibes ​ayahuasca​ in its services, sued, claiming the seizure was illegal, and
sought to ensure future importation of the tea for religious use. The church won a preliminary
injunction from the ​United States District Court for the District of New Mexico​, which was affirmed
on appeal.
The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court also disagreed with the government's central argument that
the uniform application of the ​Controlled Substances Act​ (CSA) does not allow for exceptions for
the substance in this case, as ​Native Americans​ are given exceptions to use ​peyote​, another
Schedule I substance.
21 U.S. Code § 813 - Treatment of controlled
substance analogues
(a)In general

A ​controlled substance​ analogue shall, to the extent intended for human


consumption, be treated, for the purposes of any Federal law as a ​controlled
substance​ in schedule I.

(b)DeterminationIn determining whether a ​controlled substance​ analogue was


intended for human consumption under subsection (a), the following factors may be
considered, along with any other relevant factors:

(1)The marketing, advertising, and labeling of the substance.

(2)The known efficacy or usefulness of the substance for the marketed, advertised,
or labeled purpose.

(3)The difference between the price at which the substance is sold and the price at
which the substance it is purported to be or advertised as is normally sold.

(4)The diversion of the substance from legitimate channels and the clandestine
importation, ​manufacture​, or distribution of the substance.

(5)Whether the defendant knew or should have known the substance was intended
to be consumed by injection, inhalation, ingestion, or any other immediate means.

(6)Any ​controlled substance​ analogue that is manufactured, formulated, sold,


distributed, or marketed with the intent to avoid the provisions of existing​ drug
laws.

(c)Limitation

For purposes of this section, evidence that a substance was not marketed, advertised,
or labeled for human consumption, by itself, shall not be sufficient to establish that
the substance was not intended for human consumption.

Relevant Amendments
1st Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

"It has been objected also against a bill of rights, that, by enumerating particular exceptions to the grant of
power, it would disparage those rights which were not placed in that enumeration; and it might follow by
implication, that those rights which were not singled out, were intended to be assigned into the hands of the
General Government, and were consequently insecure. This is one of the most plausible arguments I have ever
heard against the admission of a bill of rights into this system; but, I conceive, that it may be guarded against."
-James Madison, when Introducing the Bill of Rights

The 9th Amendment "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or
disparage others retained by the people."

WHEREBY THE PLAINTIFF PRAYS THE COURT


Grant a Rule 5.1 Hearing as to the Legality of the Federal Analogue Act in this Case.
