Federal judge dismisses ayahuasca church’s request for overturn of DEA decision

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An action from a federal judge could pave the way for the Drug Enforcement Administration to finally shut down a local church. Investigative Reporter Karla Ray first got the attention of the DEA in 2016, after exposing the Soul Quest Church in Orange County was hosting ayahuasca retreats. Ayahuasca is a tea that contains DMT, a schedule one drug, and the church needs a religious exemption from the DEA to be able to distribute it legally. Soul Quest then challenged that denial in federal court by seeking a declaratory judgment, and a judge just dismissed that challenge. Despite not having the DEA exemption, Soul Quest has continued to host weekend retreats, including one that’s the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit.

Davis, Leiter, Jobe lead top 10 picks at MLB draft

2 — TEXAS RANGERSJACK LEITER, RHP, VANDERBILT (6-1, 205, 21)The son of former big league All-Star Al Leiter is a right-hander with a mid-90s fastball and two overpowering breaking pitches, a repertoire that could play near the top of a big league rotation. This was the first pick made under Rangers first-year general manager Chris Young, a longtime big league pitcher who came to the organization determined to help the farm system better develop pitching. Jobe tossed two no-hitters — yes, two — as a senior, cementing his spot near the top of teams’ draft boards. His slider and changeup also look like big league pitches, and he's made strides improving his command, too. 10 — NEW YORK METSKUMAR ROCKER, RHP, VANDERBILT, (6-5, 245, 21)Rocker pitched himself into contention to go No.

MLB executive, ex-pitcher Young joins hometown Rangers as GM

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas Rangers hired Chris Young as executive vice president and general manager Friday, bringing the Major League Baseball executive home to work under president of baseball operations Jon Daniels, the club's GM since 2005.
