Aum Shinrikyo, have you ever heard of them?  This Japanese doomsday cult was founded by Shoko Asahara in 1984 and was operating as recently as 2005. This dangerous and massive cult brought together the ideals of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and most importantly yoga. To no surprise, they also took part in their fair share of hallucinogenic drugs. However, they would later begin creating their own, not so fun, drugs that would dismantle their group and land 16 members the death penalty. Im Jake blah blah blah
