Entheogen activist sentenced 20 years

Just got word of this from Dose Nation.
Here is the summary:

Casey Hardison is an entheogenic activist, unauthorized researcher and psychedelic chemist who is best known for his indefatigable good mood and enormous energy. Casey attended entheogen-related conferences, wrote articles for MAPS and contributed to Erowid. After moving to Britain in 2002 he eventually rented a house at Ovingdean near Brighton. Casey chose to fulfill a ten-year spiritual journey to make LSD and make up for the drought caused by a major DEA bust in the United States. He was arrested and convicted of LSD manufacture in Britain.

Casey acted as his own lawyer during his case and, instead of arguing he did not commit the acts, he argued that, as long as he harmed no one, he had the human right to engage in his chosen entheogenic praxis. The court rejected the argument and Casey was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Apr 22, 2005.

Casey has submitted his human rights arguments simultaneously to the European Court of Human Rights and to the House of Lords, the highest court of appeal in the United Kingdom. He is challenging the drug laws as a discriminatory affront to free thought, therapeutic choice and free religion.

Casey is you and me, and we are serving a twenty year sentence for dedicating our lives to compassion, pursuing happiness and increasing intelligence.
