Here's what mainstream religions thought about drugs.



Faith Fights Drugs and Violence
All Congregations Together

Yes, it's very significant that this coalition of 60 congregations—Catholics, Protestants, Jews, numbering 150,000—is wielding clout in City Hall. The mayor's office can't ignore rallies of 4,000 vocal citizens demanding changes in drug enforcement, the police force, building inspection, public housing, practically every facet of community service that affects their neighborhoods.

"Community-Oriented Policing Squad"—are choosing to work in these neighborhoods every day and get to know folks. And many of the drug dealers and gangs are losing influence, at least for the present. That might mean hope that today's youth there will grow up safer and more drug-free.

"mainstream religions"

Romans 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

So now it is only freedom of mainstream religion in your America? Is that the living Constitution at work? I would be less frightened for the world if I thought you merely suffered from angelism. That you are unique, I pray. It is my hope that you have not lost your sight altogether. Please open your eyes to the word. For, it is your puritannical zeal for the status quo of man's law rather than the foundational truth of the supreme law of this land, the Constitution, which exposes you as a fascist. And, it is your disregard for the greater law of the universe, the word of the Lord, which defines you as his adversary.

Ro 14:22 Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth
