Empowering Your Journey with Expert Guidance and Insights


Entheo.law was created to support sincere entheogen-based religious practioners in navigating the legal complexities involved with such practices. Currently, the number of entheogen-based religious practitioners in the U.S. is growing exponentially.  However, there are very few if any other attorneys in the U.S. with the requisite knowledge and experience to help these practitioners enshrine their rights under the free exercise laws. While over the last three years I have personally worked with every client throughout their entire church project, the number of those seeking my services has grown beyond my ability to work with everyone on an individual basis from start to finish. However, as an entheogen-based religious practitioner myself, I consider it my divine duty to ensure that every sincere and qualified entheogen-based practitioner(s) have the information and forms necessary for them to more formalize and enshrine their free exercise rights.  Therefore, my main motivation in creating the entheo.law platform is to provide affordable and constant access to the information and materials entheogen-based religious practitioners will need. The information and educational materials provided to our members contain a wealth of valuable knowledge, insights, and advice which should allow most, if not all members, to create their own religious non-profit entities with little or no guidance from me personally. However, for those who are unable to complete the entire process on their own, or need some additional support through the process, we do offer one-on-one consultations to our members who have questions and/or need document review. As a member of the entheo.law platform, you will have access to all the resources needed to enshrine your free exercise rights.


George "Greg" Lake, Esq., attorney and co-founder of Entheo.law, is also the author of "The Law of Entheogenic Churches in the United States" and "The Law of Entheogenic Churches (Vol. II): The Definition of Religion under the First Amendment". Additionally, Greg and Ian have helped establish over sixty entheogen-based religious organizations across the country. Additionally, Greg is currently providing his legal services and expertise, pro bono, for several indigent entheogen-based religious practitioners across the country. As a trial and appellate attorney, Greg feels most at home litigating these issues in any courtroom across the country. All of the founders' experience is a testament to their deep understanding of all the material issues affecting the free exercise rights of entheogen-based religious practitioners in the United States.

Whats Included in the Program


Form Documents

Whether you're filing a non-profit religious entity with a state, drafting your organization's internal documents such as Statements of Beliefs, bylaws, or establishing proper safety and diversion protocols, our repository of form documents helps to streamline the Church-creation process and ensures that all relevant materials are covered in each form document. The forms offered by entheo.law are the work product of the Founders, who have edited and improved them over the 60 plus entheogen-based church projects they have completed over the last three years. All of the forms available on this platform represent the culmination of thousands of hours of research, study, and practice. Finally, all of the materials contained in the forms are the intellectual property of the Founders, and members of the platform are authorized to copy, but not distribute, and use as much of the existing materials as they wish. In any event, Greg Lake will be available for paid consultations to review and revise any of the form documents, as needed. Members of the platform get priority scheduling status on Greg's calendar, as well as discount hourly consult rates, as we want to make sure that your project runs smoothly and gets completed in a timely manner. 

Educational Videos

Our platform includes over twenty hours of informational and instructional videos created by Greg Lake. These videos cover a vast array of topics and issues which are fundamental and necessary to understanding the complexities of forming an entheogen-based religious organization. In addition to discussing all the material issues, the platform's videos also provide essential education on how to properly form an entheogen-based religious organization from the ground up; starting from the initial state non-profit filing all the way through the first official board meeting and beyond. These videos focus on answering, in depth, the most common questions we have received over the years as it relates to each topic covered. Moreover, we invite our members to submit any questions they may have, not covered in the video, so those responses can also be added to the platform's videos and masterclass.

Quarterly Masterclasses

Learn about the law of entheogenic churches directly from our Founders through our masterclasses, which be held live and online for 3-4 days per quarter. All members who pay the set fee will have lifetime access to all the back-end materials and quarterly masterclasses. All masterclasses will include all relevant legal updates as well as lengthy question-and-answer sessions relating to each topic. 

One-on-One Consultations

Benefit from personalized advice through direct consultations with Greg Lake and other experienced attorneys working under his guidance and direction. We have found that those who come to consultation meetings prepared, usually get all their questions answered, plus more. Every entheogenic church project presents its own unique set of issues and challenges. As such, discussing these issues with Greg Lake will help members make the best and most informed decision possible.

At this time, the legal contours related to the sacramental consumption of entheogens have not yet been clearly defined by the courts. As such, no attorney or person can ever guaranty that any particular entheogen-based religious practitioner is operating in a manner worthy of protection under state and/or free exercise laws. All free exercise cases are decided on a case-by-case basis, according to the facts of each case. Due to a lack of directly applicable case law, the law of entheogen-based free exercise claims/defenses are considered a "grey," and as such, those who decide to form and administer entheogen-based religious organizations need to have engaged in a considerable amount of soul searching and cost/benefit analyses before commencing on such an endeavor. Many entheogen-based religious practitioners, understandably, remain very fearful of government/law enforcement intervention, such as being arrested and charged for engaging in their religious practice. While practically speaking such instances are extremely rare, one must always consider the possible legal ramifications when formalizing an entheogen-based religious organization.


While passing no judgment and respecting where everyone stands regarding their own personal risk assessment, the attorneys at entheo.law generally do not accept members who harbor considerable fears and reservations about the potential criminal and civil consequences which, though very rare, may result from engaging in entheogen-based religious practices in the United States. Therefore, only those who are sincere entheogen-based religious practitioners that have done the requisite amount of soul searching, are feeling called to service by Spirit, and are ready to set aside their self-interest(s) in service to the collective need apply. However, please note that the attorneys at entheo.law offer paid consultation sessions for those who have preliminary questions to be answered before deciding to become a member of the platform.
