A legal case was filed against two of the Church's leaders, Hans Bogers ( one of the original founders of the Dutch Santo Daime community ) and Geraldine Fijneman ( the head of the Amsterdam Santo Daime community ).

Bogers and Fijneman were charged with distributing a scheduled substance ( DMT ); however, the prosecution was unable to prove that the use of ayahuasca by members of the Santo Daime constituted a sufficient threat to public health and order that it warranted denying their rights to religious freedom under ECHR Article 9.

This speculation ( also paralleled in Philip K. Dick's posthumously published The Transmigration of Timothy Archer ) is supported in a wider cultural context when compared with the praise of Haoma in the Rigveda, Mexican praise of teonanácatl, the peyote sacrament of the Native American Church, and the Holy Ayahuasca used in the ritual of the União do Vegetal and Santo Daime.
