1. The information supplied by Trancenet about Soma was part of the

may regard it as "vampirism," it is not illegal. 

2. In the U.S. there is a constitutional prohibition against the 
government establishing religion:

The Court found in Malnak v. Yogi that (although TM practice was not 
religious in itself) the SCI course did amount to establishment of 
religion since it deals with issues normally assigned to religion:
