- Description:
- The document from George B. Schwabe to Victor Griffin discusses the topic of H.R. 2403, which seeks to regulate peyote use similarly to marijuana. Schwabe has been studying the issue and is unsure whether the bill should pass, as he is considering the potential effects of peyote and its use in religious ceremonies by Native American tribes. He is open to receiving more information on the subject before making a decision.
