Quote From: jojobeanerDrugs are the symptoms of a much larger problem. The problem is that we all have a void in our lives, and we try to fill it with stuff, whether that stuff be drugs, food, sex, work, play, laziness, you name it. Nothing will fill that void but our Lord Jesus Christ! Our identity is found only in Him and when anyone tries to complete themselves without Him problems follow.
You could destroy all the drugs in the world, but there are natural drugs. If you have an inclination to overdo in a certain area of your life, you will find a way to get the high or need met that you are looking for. It's just like trying to make all these guns laws to protect people from getting killed, it doesn't work because you haven't solved the original problem which is hatred in their hearts and a host of other problems that lead people to kill others.
Back to my point....the only way to get our needs met is in Jesus Christ, He is the only one that can meet ALL of our needs. If you don't believe me, seek Him out and find out for yourself.
This person has a point I was going to bring up. If all the illegal drugs in the world were destroyed, they'd find another way to get the high they need. I've heard alot of things others get high on, including over the counter medication/ prescription drugs. And I'm all for keeping prescription drugs (Seeing as I actually need them- I have no thyroid).
Only thing I can think of is more education about it. Other than that, I don't know.
