Casey Hardison is an entheogenic activist, unauthorized researcher, and psychedelic chemist who was best known for his indefatigable good mood and enormous energy. Casey attended entheogen-related conferences and wrote articles for MAPS and contributed to Erowid. After moving to Britain in 2002, he eventually rented a house at Ovingdean near Brighton. Casey chose to fulfill a ten-year spiritual journey to make LSD and make up for the drought caused by a major DEA bust in the U.S. He was arrested and convicted of LSD manufacture in Britain.

Casey acted as his own lawyer during his case and, instead of arguing he did not commit the acts, he argued that he had a fundamental human right to engage in his chosen entheogenic religion. The court rejected the argument and Casey was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Apr 22, 2005.

Casey has submitted the enhanced human rights arguments simultaneously to the European Court of Human Rights and to the United Kingdom Court of Appeals directly challenging the drug laws as an affront to free thought, therapeutic choice and free religion.

His mailing address in prison is: Casey Hardison LH5330, HMP Swaleside, Brabazon Road, Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, Kent, ME12 4AX, England.
