It should be noted that prior to the filing of this Brief that every decision of the lower courts discussed why the UDV should be granted rights they didn't believe should equally belong to claims involving religious utilizing Cannabis. And of further note, the Supreme Court Decision in UDV made zero reference to any preferred treatment involving the religious use of Schedule 1 substances! This appears to show at least one positive effect from the filing of this brief.
