even bible thumpers run into conflict, when, for example, we're told to obey civil laws, but some of the laws we have to obey now, are hostile to the expression of faith... psilocybin has an alarmingly high success rate for abating cycles in periodic sufferers, and has worked pretty well for chronic sufferers, too. Grow them and you commit a felony. Pick them from the wild, and you're subject to imprisonment. Even Swapping medicines at home, if you're name is not on the Rx bottle, is illegal (a misdemeanor, in most cases). But what's worse? Knowing that you may have committed a crime in the eyes of our Judicial System, or knowingly having the means to alleviate someone's pain, and ignoring their pain, all in the name of some legal technicality? I know my conscience tells me...
