Three different legal propositions, not a simple reversal:

1. 1960 reported local as-applied — Commission Justice describes unpublished Arizona v. Attaki (Maricopa Superior, July 26, 1960) finding the peyote statute unconstitutional as applied to Mary Attaki’s religious practice. Judgment not inspected; attribute to Commission.
2. 1990 constitutional nonrequirement — Employment Division v. Smith held the Free Exercise Clause does not require religious exemptions from neutral, generally applicable drug laws.
3. 1994 affirmative delimited protection — AIRFA Amendments (Pub. L. 103-344) make use/possession/transport of peyote by an “Indian” for bona fide traditional ceremonial purposes lawful, with express limits (cultivation, employment, prisons, traffic, military) and a federal-recognition definition of “Indian.”
