in sorcery get high on drugs in order to make it easier to
contact demons.
Pathetically today, millions of young people are getting in bondage to Satan through the use of drugs without even knowing it.
Most people taking drugs claim there aren’t any harmful affects from drugs. But drugs act as a tool to open the mind, and leave you defenseless against evil spirits entering and taking possession. Ninety percent of those who belong to the church of Satan started on drugs.
As mentioned earlier, the mystics of the east use drugs in order to go into a trance which enables them to make contact with the spirits, and they are soon possessed by them. Charles Manson is a typical example of one who became possessed by evil spirits through drugs.
