Does that include using the mind-altering drug alcohol?
No.
How do we know this is so?
Common sense for one.
The battle cry of those too lazy to substantiate their claims.
Until you stop worshiping at the alter of a filthy drug you will not be prepared for the truth about it. And we know that the potties have all kinds of defenses to counter the truth about the filthy little drug, so no matter how much evidence is presented you will choice to believe their side, because likely you love being a pothead. There is plenty of evidence and all you have to do is google it, if you want to. Until you get fed up with being a pothead, if you do, you are not ready to accept the truth. The truth is that pot is a filthy life altering, mind altering, spiritual altering, rotten drug. Until you are ready to accept this you will continue on being a mouth piece from the pit of hell.
