The Oklevueha Native American Church in Alabama made a presentation at the Unity Church in Birmingham, Alabama about the potential benefits of marijuana and other natural substances for medicinal purposes.

The Oklevueha Native American Church of Inner Light in Warrior was founded in 2015 and has been licensed as a federally registered branch of the Oklevueha Lakota Sioux Nation Native American Church.

The church has a religious exemption for its members to smoke marijuana and ingest hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote cactus, which members feel have properties that augment traditional Native American spiritual beliefs and experiences and is considered religious sacrament.

The church believes that before marijuana was stigmatized as an illegal drug, Native Americans valued it as a natural herbal treatment for more than 90% of illnesses; but the medical establishment took away cannabis so they could sell pills.

Church members say it doesn’t make sense that pharmaceutical companies make large profits on harmful synthetic and dangerous drugs, while plant and herbal medicines are illegal.

All 120 members in the Alabama church carry photo identification, similar to a driver's license, that identifies them as members of a church that has a federal religious exemption to use natural drugs that are otherwise prohibited by law.
