AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law to prohibit the knowing harvesting, processing, or making available of mescaline for commercial use, which is defined as any use or transaction intended for financial gain, profit, or business purposes, or for research, defined as investigating, studying, and experimenting for medical and pharmaceutical applications. However, the bill provides a defense against prosecution if the mescaline is being used or intended for use in connection with a genuine religious belief, as an integral part of religious exercise, and in a manner that is not dangerous to public health, safety, or morals. Violating this section is classified as a class 4 felony, and mescaline is defined as the drug listed in a specific section of existing law.
