Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Drugs and Alcohol If we have not encountered these problems ourselves, all of us have known someone touched by these vices. When individual abuse of drugs and alcohol causes problems for that individual or for society at large, we advocate a compassionate response of rehabilitation rather than the brutal response of violence. As a society, we must attack the economic and moral hopelessness that leads to the downward spiral of alcohol, drugs and violence. We recognize that prisons are a breeding ground for criminality, and we support the release and rehabilitation of all non-violent offenders with no record of offenses against others, property or public safety. Because demand for drugs leads to imports that fund enemies of the United States, the government must adopt a rational approach that enables it to better control that demand within a civil, medical framework.

I am saying, we should ascribe drugs and alcohol no power, treat them rationally and medically, toast libations responsibly, focus on stopping the flow of crazy-drugs to poor people and give poor people a way out, get over hemp and give up smoking pot as an act of will, and start using it for paper, wood, rope and fuel so we do not enslave our children to foreign oil.
Why would we want to rip down our beautiful forests to wipe our asses when we could grow paper again?
It was an economic foundation of the Trading Company. Criminals have exploited it through law. The people in the Company might still find redemption on the silk road if they stop exploiting people and enable them instead for the common welfare.
no religious experience
I've had a religious experience, and personally, it alone saved me from the pit of doom in drugs and alcohol, and was not stimulated chemically. I am not one of the blessed who can "believe without seeing and understand without hearing;" I think God basically hit me on the head with a very pretty, delicate, transitory brick that I happened to see at the right time.I am saying, we should ascribe drugs and alcohol no power, treat them rationally and medically, toast libations responsibly, focus on stopping the flow of crazy-drugs to poor people and give poor people a way out, get over hemp and give up smoking pot as an act of will, and start using it for paper, wood, rope and fuel so we do not enslave our children to foreign oil.
