Was the Eucharist ever illegal

[William1]

I was watching the news and they had a man on trial. His church uses weed for communion instead of bread and wine. In Wisconsin is still against the law. Now my question is what did Christian churches do during proabation (not sure if spelling is correct) when wine would been against the law. Now I know in the Catholic Church at that time only the priest got the wine but that still would be outside the law. Other churches received the wine. I know it’s an odd question but it was a odd news story and I was just wondering

His church uses weed for communion instead of bread and wine.

And his church is in hot water from the perspective of Catholicism.

Now my question is what did Christian churches do during proabation (not sure if spelling is correct) when wine would been against the law. Now I know in the Catholic Church at that time only the priest got the wine but that still would be outside the law.

I’m not sure it would be, actually. That would be a violation of the First Amendment.

“Prohibition changed the burgeoning California wine business into an industry in sudden crisis, patched together with string and wire and oak barrel slats—and loopholes. The Volstead Act, which enforced the 18th Amendment, exempted alcohol that was used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, such as hair tonics and toilet waters and elixirs, and for religious purposes, specifically sacramental wine.”

So it wasn’t really an issue.

There were exemptions for alcohol used for medicinal, cosmetic, religious and some other uses.

I don’t know want kind of church it was. It wasn’t no Catholic or Anglican or anyother church like that. I was just wondering if they were serious or finding a way to smoke it .
