Oregon Supreme Court June 24, 1986, EAB 84-AB-1217; CA A33421; SC S32481 (Smith v. Employment Division)

*211

JONES, J.

The issue in this case is whether the state Employment Division may deny unemployment benefits to claimant, Alfred L. Smith. Smith’s employer, Douglas County Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT), discharged Smith because he ingested peyote while off duty during a ceremony of the Native American Church.
