Drug Pandemic

Drugs are destroying nations. Opium has returned in Opiods. Pot has been legalized in many states of the U.S.A., and people according to one witness are on Heroine. What is behind this drug pandemic? The answer is the devil. Illegal drugs like Pot, Heroine, Cocaine, and others dumb down people, making them more controllable. The Apostles warned us to sober, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings." (1 Peter 5:8-9). Notice that Apostle says to be sober of mind, because the devil is prowling and looking for someone to devour, it then stands to reason that not being sober opens you up to be devoured. 

That is the truth, drugs devour people's finances, minds, families, and potential. Rather than being ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), inventors, entrepreneurs, artists, builders, and creators; they became the Walking Dead, Zombies who can only live for next high. This opium culture, this desire to not feel or to be euphoric, and n ever be responsible is so people waste away, and become slaves. For they slaves to the high, and with each drug they take, they put on another link in their chains. I blame Hollywood in part, because smoking pot and other drugs has become normal in films like "Its Complicated" with Meryl Streep, and many others popular films, helping foster a drug culture. People are treating illegal drugs being legalized like the next step in reversing Prohibition, just as Transgender Homosexual movement masks and pretends to the extension of the civil rights movement. 

I have witnessed first hand the destruction of drugs. At an apartment complex I watched a friend and maintenance man named Michael start out with great potential, he was smart, skilled, and helpful. But then he got into drugs and became mean spirit, harsh, and edgy. His entire personality changed. Beyond Hollywood I blame greed, because the governments pass legalizing drugs so they can tax them, and so they like Machines in Matrix don't mind people becoming batteries (literally in brains, acid burning on their minds) to make a buck. 

The Drug Pandemic is making people dependent on a high to cope with life, and in turn it is funding their own destruction. It is really sad to watch as children are exposed to this destructive lifestyle en masse. In fact, John Hopkin's Universality discovered that Pot smoke alone causes people cardiovascular problems, respitory problems (could kill some one with lung disease), causes the mind to be foggy, causes overeating desires, and finally it makes people who don't smoke put, but who end up in cloud of pot smoke test positive for drugs. It is thus maligning perfectly innocent people's reputation and character, in addition to harming their health. The second hand smoke of Marijuana is ten times worse than cigarette smoke. It is ironic in a place like California they want to ban tobacco; they have increased taxation on cigarettes and hope to be cigarette free, but they passed Proposition 64 legalizing pot smoke. So great, people will now be second hand breathing not just plain smoke that hearts the lungs, but smoke that fogs the brain, makes them test positive for drugs, and hurts their heart and lungs to boot. Ugh.  

Come quickly Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20).
