The Opiate of the Masses

Opiates for the masses may not be far off because scientists have figured how to synthesize morphine in the opium poppy.

What God created is somehow illegal and what man invented is only better because it allows man to place a price on pain so the people in power can get richer. If opium was legal then Afghanistan would be a rich and successful country and the world would have a safe natural escape from pain.

The Talmud-Book of Law details how pain is figured into the equation of damages including Koev HaLev/Pain of the Heart speaking of a more spiritual pain. Spiritual pain is much more severe than physical pain since the body can only take a limited amount of pain whereas the soul’s pain is without limit.

The Cabala explains how pain is a reflection of our ability to know which is why humans obviously feel pain to more of a degree than animals as witness by those fainting from pain. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, It is better to endure the pain in this life and fix what has to be fixed than to wait for the next world where the greatest pain is embarrassment.

Governments are notorious for fixing what is not broken. Torah which means Teaching prohibits no plants.
