"I would encourage you to get that law firm that you mentioned, or any reputable firm to help you with the case. Today we have to take what we've got." Nice lil burn by the judge 🔥🚒
What makes it ten times more hilarious is the odd placement of his screen that makes it appear like he can't stop looking at some spiritual entity in the sky.
That guy's unhinged. I don't see how this doesn't get thrown out. If Lake is big on the First Amendment as he claims, he should realize people writing about something they can verify isn't actionable.
Thank you for a great laugh this morning! As a member of the Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Chartered Chemist I have never heard such stupidly coming out of someone’s mouth. I wonder if the members of the church know that cow patty plays such a key role in the manufacture of the sacrament😂😂😂😂
The second attorney is strung out needs to be disbarred and prosecuted he has some serious problems that needs immediate treatment he looks very ill and he is barely able to form a coherent sentence. The church needs to be sued into bankruptcy and those who approved the sell of this stuff sent to prison for drug dealing.
Trudging through the Peruvian rainforest to get ayahuasca from the shaman was a real hassle. Now they can get "synthesized" by the Holy Spirits in their very own local "church." They can proclaim "I've been synthesized!" 🧙🏻♂️🍄🛖⛰️🪔🔬🏞️🪘🍵👨🏻🔬🧟♂️🧑🏼⚖️
listen. i get that it can _feel_ like a spiritual experience when you're taking hallucinogens. that doesn't mean it is. you didn't _invent_ a molecule. you got high.
Oy... he's taken too many shrooms. Yup. And that's probably what caused the "seizures" (which I question if they actually happened). Sure, judge, it's totally his emotions, not the damage he's done to himself by taking shrooms, or his trying to get away with using AND SELLING shrooms by misappropriating the religious angle.
Lake was licensed in Texas in 2011. His license was suspended then put on probation in 2016 - 2019. His State Bar profile shows primary practice location in Austin, but his mailing address is a residence in Marshall, Texas, hours away from Austin.
"Seizures", huh. I doubt if seizures would make him make duplicitous phone calls. It's possible that seizures would make him _forget_ about having made the calls... but that means that he was in his right mind when he made them. I find it darkly amusing how much he emphasizes money: how much his "church" makes by selling "sacrament", and that his visitor was a billionaire.
Dude was tripping ballzzzz with is wife when he called those people. That is absolutely hilarious. I was dying when he tried to explain he was "sick" or whatever.
Of anyone else is curious as to what "Church of sacred synthesis" is, I went to their website & here is their mission statement....(I put it at the bottom) Basically, it's ALL about the shrines Ann's getting into the stage of being so high that they reach the "higher state of consciousness" Welcome to the Church of the Sacred Synthesis! We are glad you have been guided to visit us today! We are a non-profit church dedicated to furthering our spiritual development and communing with Source/God/Spirit through the circumscribed consumption of our Sacrament. Our sacrament is produced through a sacred synthesis which represents a reunion of spirit/nature with science/medicine and further symbolizes a return to our ancient roots.
I just need to say... Mr. Zorn is hot as hell. This guy is nuts. Also, I love how they've appropriated the eye of Horus, which is the symbol for wisdom. Something this lawyer and his 'church' clearly lack. Also, I'm not a chemistry master, but I know one that's pretty sharp that I've learned things from. I know most of what he said is gobbledy-goop. I bet Mr. Zorn (love that name!) doesn't believe he's friends with Mr. Schroomhead.
Love the judge's face starting at 21:30. She's had enough of Mr Lake and his ramblings and ridiculous excuses and explanations. She's already just over it!
I have a very unique practice. I handle one client I. I'm also one of their biggest members. Again, those damn loony tune's eyes are giving everything away
I was wondering about that. The "Eye of Horus" and the hieroglyphics doesn't seem the type of things that should be on display during a hearing. It feels "off" somehow.
It would help if the church's attorney could pronounce the molecules and historical characters correctly. It's "sil-oh-sye-bin" , "sil-oh-sin" and "five-meth-ox-awl-dye-meth-awl-trip-ta-mean" (Given as pronunciations as opposed to proper spelling.) That said - I don't personally find the church's attorney conduct to be shady. Instead I find his conduct to be misguided as he is not only the main attorney for the church but also a primary witness and someone deeply involved in the management of the church. As the judge stated- he needs to hire outside counsel.
Well, the shady conduct is calling the defendants directly (presumably stoned or tripping) and either mis-identifying himself or playing word games to the point that Mr. Zorn felt it necessarry to have him admonished over the activities. He says in one breathe "I don't remember doing it", then says "well I was just trying to expedite procedure because of statute of limitations"... either way, he knows he shouldn't be contacting the defendants directly without copying counsel, and SURE AS HECK ain't supposed to be pretending to be someone OTHER THAN plaintiff counsel in an attempt to fool the defendant into falling for a ruse. That's borderline fraudulent, and some seriously shady stuff in my book.
The lawyer for the church has dipped in to there sacrament to much I don’t know if it is addictive but from the looks of him it is and he needs help bad
Disbarred. Immediately. “I’m sorry I don’t remember calling a represented party and impersonating a charitable giver to deceive them and attempt to serve process?” Pull that card. Now.
Plaintiff's attorney needs some "clean time" as Judge Middleton puts it. He's clearly out of his head. I hope both sets of defendants are able to get the lawsuit dismissed on First Amendment/TCPA grounds.

Plaintiff's counsel has fried his brain on the "sacrament."
The "church" may want to reevaluate the whole "no negative health effects" claim based on their attorneys bizarre performance
It's true that psilocybin is low health risk.... but there is nothing that has no risk at all
It’s not the shrooms. It’s the crack.
That church lawyer needs close supervision.
Needs to learn how to tie a tie properly as well. 😂

Well done lol
Only ten minutes in so I've yet to see the shroom lawyer but Matt Zorn is amazing. I wish I had him to summarize every case for me.

Well, the attorney did advise that he was having serious health problems.
This lawyer has clearly taken too much of “the secret molecule”

What an excellent judge.
This WILD!!! So much more so than I expected.

Seizures is a primary symptom of over indulgence in psilocybin.
@@PaulLoveless-Cincinnati meaning shrooms? That explains a lot.
@@Gwentheferret yes. Psilocybin which breaks down into psilocin has chief side effects of seizures.
I see Greg Lake but where are Emerson and Palmer? 🎸 🎤 🎶
😂
I was gonna go with tried-and-true Pink Floyd, but your reference (the kids won't get it) is much better 👏
I would love to see more of this case. Interesting
Lake was licensed in Texas in 2011. His license was suspended then put on probation in 2016 - 2019. His State Bar profile shows primary practice location in Austin, but his mailing address is a residence in Marshall, Texas, hours away from Austin.
It's never good for you if the judge feels they have to confirm that you're an actual lawyer.
"Seizures", huh. I doubt if seizures would make him make duplicitous phone calls. It's possible that seizures would make him _forget_ about having made the calls... but that means that he was in his right mind when he made them.

Greg Lake reminds me of Jim Breuer from "Half-Baked:😂
Incredible
I liked that video!
OR - was it too much "sacrament" that caused your laps in memory and miss deeds?
I think these lawyers are on drugs 😂
simply amazing
Dam Zorn pulled his punches.
I just need to say... Mr. Zorn is hot as hell.

I didn't think this judge had it in her at first, but she came through STRONG at the end. 👏🏼👏🏼
Why does he have hieroglyphics behind him?
I was wondering about that. The "Eye of Horus" and the hieroglyphics doesn't seem the type of things that should be on display during a hearing. It feels "off" somehow.
I hope we see a follow-up to this.
Where do I sign up? Needing to see my lord literally.✌️
Oof, the plaintiffs attorney looks like he's been over indulging in the old "sacrament", wow. Great vid LW, certainly a first of it's kind lol.
If I didn't know any better, this lawyer looks like the same guy that tried to kill roger rabbit. Something about those loony tunes eyes
Wouldnt this be a Federal case of selling shrooms on the internet? Someone needs to contact the DEA
It would help if the church's attorney could pronounce the molecules and historical characters correctly. It's "sil-oh-sye-bin" , "sil-oh-sin" and "five-meth-ox-awl-dye-meth-awl-trip-ta-mean"

14:10 ... counsel sounds like he's also currently under the influence of the shrooms right now!
Wow the Judge's hair and skin are basically the same color! 😂
shrooms are awesome. dont knock em til you try em
1) this guy is faking lawyer! 2) This is like a crazy movie plot.
Is it just me or is Mr Lake stoned at this meeting. He seems a bit shakey….
Let me make note of that website……..
👍👍
The lawyer for the church has dipped in to there sacrament to much I don’t know if it is addictive but from the looks of him it is and he needs help bad
The Church of Sacred Synthesis …
a little dab’ll do ya
thank YOU, ✨Wolfy dear
Eoff needs to keep her fingers out of her nose
It's amazing what people will try to get away with under the guise of religion. Isn't mindless superstition a wondrous thing?
21:17 lol dude is so out of it what is he looking at
I smell fish...
Why is the Judge giving him legal advice? That's B.S.
Yipes.
Disbarred. Immediately. “I’m sorry I don’t remember calling a represented party and impersonating a charitable giver to deceive them and attempt to serve process?” Pull that card. Now.
He’s on shrooms now it seems! Acting very weird
This is all kind of cra cra
someone needs to be disbarred. He had siezures and does not own his behavior....dude you have 0 credibility or ethics.
Plaintiff's attorney needs some "clean time" as Judge Middleton puts it. He's clearly out of his head. I hope both sets of defendants are able to get the lawsuit dismissed on First Amendment/TCPA grounds.
He's just starting a religion based solely on the effects of psychedelics, like EVERY OTHER RELIGION in existence..... i dont see the problem 🤷
Boring!! Waste of time and electrons!!
My church sells mushrooms on the street
This court hearing feels like an advertisement for the psychedelic cult ... 3:00 to 4:00
The echoing of his voice magnifies the apparent brain damage evident at 13:00 to 15:00
