You're arguing the wrong argument. I'm not going to disagree with you on the point that drug abuse takes one away from God. I agree with that.
My question, however, is does drug prohibition bring anyone closer to God? My question is not 'does preventing drug abuse bring anyone closer to God?' - certainly the answer to that is yes. But those are clearly two seperate issues.
My question, however, is does drug prohibition bring anyone closer to God?Well, then you actually have the wrong argument, as far as I am concerned, since we *don't* actually have a 'drug prohibition' in effect.
We have *controls* in effect. Drugs are availble, when needed and when necessary. It will take a physicians signature to get the stronger 'drugs', but such simple drugs as aspirin and cold/flu aids like NyQuil *are* freely availble over the counter without any 'prohibition' in effect ...
