• The only thing I know about the Iroquois nation..is that they were the most powerful Native American groups organized in the early eighteenth cent. in New York. I never read the Iroquois constitution..so stop yelling at me:):)

  5) The Council of the Mohawk shall be divided into three parties as follows: Tekarihoken, Ayonhwhathah and Shadekariwade are the first party; Sharenhowaneh, Deyoenhegwenh and Oghrenghrehgowah are the second party, and Dehennakrineh, Aghstawenserenthah and Shoskoharowaneh are the third party. The third party is to listen only to the discussion of the first and second parties and if an error is made or the proceeding is irregular they are to call attention to it, and when the case is right and properly decided by the two parties they shall confirm the decision of the two parties and refer the case to the Seneca Lords for their decision. When the Seneca Lords have decided in accord with the Mohawk Lords, the case or question shall be referred to the Cayuga and Oneida Lords on the opposite side of the house

• 6 I, Dekanawidah, appoint the Mohawk Lords the heads and the leaders of the Five Nations Confederacy. The Mohawk Lords are the foundation of the Great Peace and it shall, therefore, be against the Great Binding Law to pass measures in the Confederate Council after the Mohawk Lords have protested against them.
  No council of the Confederate Lords shall be legal unless all the Mohawk Lords are present.

• actually no:)a lot of the Indigenous Religions still use "mary jane":) Actually its called peyote, which is illegal, but its used in the Native American Church and is still legally upheld:) some Native American People use a calumet-a long sacred pipe-for smoking a special kind of tobacco that is far stronger then commercial cigerette tobacco..and is so strong it can have hallucinatory effects:)LOL:) This is true:):)

• Tjoe, Mary Jane & Peyote are completely different.
  Even though it can be smoked,Peyote is a cactus containing Phenethylamine a psychoactive Alkaloid.
  producing hallucinations similar to LSD

  I live in AZ and in case you hadn't heard, we've got a couple of Native Americans around here...we rank 3rd nationally in total Indian population (256,000+) and more than 30% of the land here is dedicated to Reservations...crazy, huh? Anyhow, back in the day I had several NA friends and they never smoked straight cigs or straight weed, they actually roll doobies with a mix of them both. Not that I would know anything about THAT... ^_'

• I am just taking Ancient Civs coarse and world religions. Peyote comes from the cactus flower and everything comes from nature. It is not man made:) Like cocaine, meth,heroin. All of these cultures use these natural herbs for spiritual growth:)

• I Beg to differ Tjoe... Even though this is a custom of the Southwest ,I have knowledge of this practice.
  Peyote is restricted but allowed for Native American ceremonies & the Calumet or better known as the peace pipe was not for every day smoking but for sacred ceremonies or the prayer to each of the four cardinal directions,the earth and sky.

• Oh jeez, this is all my fault, cuz I mentioned Mary Jane...
  I have to say, it doesnt come from a cactus, only peyote does.
  Coke and Meth are both manmade. With coke, it is a man made process used to extrsct the actual drug, and with meth, it is a mixture of chemicals, and drugs, that is used to create a good high. Here is an example of a productive meth lab... the house blows up... Thats not very natural! Heroin is a little more pure, but, still, it is altered by man in many forms, into the modern day prescription age...There are no herbs involved in any of these though.
