Cultural inclusions?

I hate to play devils advocate and stomp on peoples cultural traditions, but when you come to live in our country, you choose to adopt our constitution. Therefore when you adopt the constitution you must abide by our laws. Our laws state that things like coca leaves and certain traditions are illegal. I hate to say this but the traditions are illegal, so that does exclude them even if they are part of a religion.
I'm not just saying this because I'm straight edge and I don't do drugs either.
Church and state were seperated quite a while ago, and I believe it's wrong for them to be able to chew on coca, while someone elses "religion" could include rape, killing etc.....

  1. exactly matt. your argument sounds alot like mine. people can freely practice their religions, as long as it's not harmful to other people or breaks laws
