Just as I am starting to try cut down on my drug-use dramatically, seems everyone else is doing the opposite. I'm not talking about cannabis (pretty much gonna be legal soon enough) which is something that has many benefits opposed to bad-effects, and after all is a plant, thus made by God for some purpose, not just a plant we must try eradicate. I'm talking about man-made substances, some with uses if used the right way, others that destroy people and their whole life.
Some people manage to use drugs and get on with living a life that isn't consumed with the drug, getting your next hit - unlike others who seem to live for that and nothing else. That can also be true with alcohol, though, another man-made substance. If used sparingly, not losing your morals and head, is it O.K?
Australia is a nation of users, according to the U.N: we top the list at number one! Is that something to be proud of? Should the government give up on a war on drugs? Might be good for some, bad for many and the general population.
We should look to God for the answers, ask Him for advice! This could all be the beginning of the end! Civil wars, uprisings overseas. Lack of respect for Church and God on a whole, economic crisis in the first-world countries. Just don't search for the next time "the world is gonna end!" for we know not; only the Father Himself knows that time. Drugs may be the next big breakthrough in the world, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It could seem more popular and wide-spread as the human population increases, but there could also be a large majority of people who have their morals, and their faith, not to go astray too much, look to God for help when you realise you are starting to fall behind in what you once held true.
May the LORD bless us and guide us to more understanding: are drugs O.K for some, not for others? Should a large majority be illegal and trafficked through a black-market (which will always exist so long as something's illegal).
