The government would have to prove a "compelling government interest".  How "compelling" is it if weed is already legal for medical and recreational use in other parts of the country?  These laws put the burden on government, not individuals.  Peyote is illegal as well, and yet laws like this allow for their use for religious reasons.  

How can judges determine the sincerity of religious conviction?
