Drugs. Why People Might Could Be Using Them!

“””We are dealing with a very, very complex public health and national security crisis that we’ve never seen in this country, in regards to the drug trafficking and the types of drugs that are getting into the communities of America,” Derek Maltz, former head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division, told Yahoo Finance. “Methamphetamine is exploding all over America, not just South Dakota. Methamphetamine is being produced in the ton quantities in very large-scale laboratories by the Mexican cartels.” “

freestone says…..Yet more attempts, alas, to remove a vine by cutting off one leaf a week! no one seems to be addressing of *why* people do drugs!

My Hint as to why:
back in the very early 70s, marijuana, “grass” and LSD were being used by the hippies. They were using these drugs to expand their awareness, to Raise Consciousness. But a few years later I saw grass and LSD being used to *dull* consciousness, to relieve the Pain of living, perhaps. LSD also became just a recreational drug. another way to dull the emotional pain. “Raising consciousness” has a terrible side effect of one becomes much more aware of one’s emotional pain!

once upon a time, wine was used for….”a jug of wine and Thou”! “Thou, here means “God” and “Spirit”!
Commune with God? Not today: often used as a baseball bat to knock oneself over the head, to again remove the pain.

So lets ask the question: what is it that is so missing in the lives of people that they want to relieve this pain of living. Thus in a sense these drugs are the very most highest state of happyness that some people can get to!!
Our modern age, too, just makes one more aware of one’s own psychological pains and giving us not so many ways of overcoming this pain!

No job. no future. gray skies forever, a terrible childhood……what would *you* do?!

If you remove these drug cartels, more will spring up to replace them. and yet more….
In a terrible sense thusly, Isort of admire them, the cartels, , as they provide a desperately needed service to so many people!
Thus, in order to stop people from using these drugs, one must somehow get people to find a way to be really happy, and not just superficial happiness either; this happyness must enter their very soul and spirit!

*a* Solution: real spirituality! not just some guilt inducing fundamentalism either! a personal Jesus within, perhaps.
*a* solution: real counselings!

Also, I“blame” somewhat the “Liberal Left”, here, for this drug problem!
The extreme left wants to remove nearly all reasons for living! Every icon and religion to be taken away. Remove the family, remove the reasons for work and personal advancement. not even songs sung in schools are safe now due to offensiveness to some people. Maybe the only purpose in life, left, is to make lots of money! thus the Left is really supporting a dark side of capitalism, that “making money” is the only permitted reality left for us all do embrace!!
