I think it was spiritually unfortunate that in an attempt to create a virtuous culture, an inanimate item had evil ascribed to it.
The only real way out of such conundrums is to remember a long forgotten God. God is not some hypothetical moralizing nanny in the sky, but an omnipresent presence that has the capability of comforting and supernaturally providing and guiding beyond anything anyone could deserve (among many, many other marvelous things). In the presence of God, the loss incurred through gratuitous (non medical) consumption of intoxicants is seen immediately as the folly it is. This loss is to leave the wonders of God and to begin to fight against them.

How about “working hard” (in a sense of striving with desire, not by way of meriting) to rediscover the wonders of God?
Then once you know about them, share them with others.
We are stumbling around in darkness making great expenditures to curse it when what was really needed was some light.
A number of things were banned in bible times, but never a drug or the sincere practice of medicine. Only, “sorcery” (one kind of abuse) was sternly prohibited.
They won’t mean a thing to someone who hasn’t become convinced of the divine power.
That’s pretty much all our modern Democrats and a whole lot of modern Republicans.
America started so well because of the belief in a bible ethic if not full-on acceptance of the divine presence of God.
The pre-Prohibition hymns about stopping the brewing were to redirect gospel responsibility away from where the bible said it should be. God said to subdue nature, but never said turn the world into a rubber room.
“Changing education so that people will not want it” involves a Redeemer. Are you up to that?
You support this freaking war on drugs and you accuse me of being crazy.
A war that is on drugs is so much war that is not for personal responsibility in the use of ANYTHING...
We Christians who oppose the use of drugs (as I do) ought to understand that when the government intervenes between the sinner and the consequences of his sin it secularizes the sacred relationship between man and God because the state plays God and substitutes itself for our maker.
EXTERMINATE THE DEALERS
That you would not want to skip the intermediate step of making their deals illegal.
Even Karl Marx foresaw that drugs (opiates) would substitute religion. Yet another reason the Soroses of the world endorse it. They see it's the path to greatly diminish the influence of religion in this country.
impetuousness
I’m not sure what you’re arguing for—that it should be legal and thus have prices decline because of the loss of government price supports?
Will that not make the problem worse?
Wall Street on meth. Yeah, lets see how that works out.
