WAR ON DRUGS

The global war on drugs has "failed" according to a new report by a group of politicians and former world leaders; the Global Commission on Drug Policy report calls for the legalization of some drugs and an end to the criminalization of drug users.

In America where war is a way of life and a monetary stimulus for our economy, the traditional definition has expanded to include drugs; there is the war against disease, the war against pain and the war against euphoria. The drug companies are losing the war.

The natural drugs like heroin have been replaced by a plethora of drugs like oxycodone leaving many in the world in pain; cocaine, another natural substance meant to ease the pangs of hunger finds no replacement – while the stress of society cripples the human psyche.

God created these substances to help alleviate the pain of living in the world; America has made war on God by making these drugs illegal – but, America is losing the war after inflicting their own pain and dividing families for years, through incarceration.

The Torah does not prohibited plants; no substance requires interdiction and no euphoria is exempted but one. The Talmud-Book of Law says, If honey were put into the incense no one could stand before the scent; then why is it not done? Because the Torah forbids.
