"It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the
US within a very short time.
Simply make all drugs available and sell
them at cost.
Label each drug with a precise description of ALL effects
and risks.
This will require
heroic honesty.
Don't say that marijuana is addictive or dangerous when it is
neither.
"Speed" kills
most unpleasantly, or Heroin™, which can be
addictive and difficult
to kick." - Gore Vidal,
1970
| "As a politician, you can
use "crack cocaine" as a code word and say you're going after the drug, but
you're actually going after people we don't really like in our society." -
Carl Hart |
"Wide availability and peer pressure makes it
almost inevitable
that everyone will use drugs at some time." - Peter
Moulding
March
1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) finds cannabis has no
significant addictive potential.
The report notes: "few cannabis users
develop dependence "and if there are withdrawal symptoms, they are "mild and
short lived."
The IOM report states gateway theory is a social
hypothesis.
The pharmacological qualities of cannabis does not lead to
chemical use.
The legal
status of cannabis makes it a gateway drug.
"The "gateway" to
hard drugs is cannabis
prohibition!" - Jack Herer
"Growing up I heard
innumerable times marijuana was a 'gateway' drug that was very likely to cause
the user to graduate to hard drugs.
In elementary school I had peers
who said, "Take 2 aspirin and wash them down with
Coca-Cola®. It
will give you a nice high."
Over-the-counter painkillers are
probably the most widely abused chemicals.
Out of elementary and
into junior high - it is a whole new story.
If the over-the-counter
painkillers work what about the other stuff?
Braver and more
experienced - these kids already knew alot about drugs.
And they had
them after raiding Mom' medicine cabinet !
Out of junior high and into
HighSchool - it is a whole new story.
The most easily accessible after
pills - tobacco and alcohol.
Cigarettes are number one with cheap wine
and beer a close second.
And of course there are many dipping into
Mom's medicine cabinet and Dad's liquor cabinet." - Athbhreith
Athbheochan
2003
"Particularly alarming is the 212% increase from 1992 to 2003 in the
number of 12 to 17 year olds abusing and trying these drugs for the first
time." - Joseph A. Califano Jr, Columbia University National Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse
US Drug Enforcement
Administration says 7 million Americans currently abuse PHRMA, noting that
is "more than the number who are abusing
cocaine™,
Heroin™,
hallucinogens, ecstasy and inhalants combined."
DEA reports "opioid
painkillers cause more fatal overdoses than cocaine and
Heroin™
combined."
22 year-old Savannah Kissick overdoses on a combination of
painkillers and sedatives while
celebrating New Year's Eve.
2005 1 in 10
teenagers continue to abuse PHRMA according to the federally funded annual
survey by the University of Michigan in .
2008 At
least 485 people died in Kentucky including Savannah Kissick from PHRMA
overdoses of methadone, oxycodone and hydrocodone, alprazolam (Xanax), opium,
diazepam (Valium®) and
fentanyl.
"We are drowning in
a sea of prescription medication
tied to every type of crime, the burglaries, the thefts, the accidents, the
domestic disputes between families. It's breaking families up." - Greenup
County Sheriff Keith Cooper
US Drug Enforcement Agency states
that stolen or illegal purchased prescription medications are a favorite of
high school and college students.
"The first time I ever got "high"
was on prescribed codeine (methylmorphine - codeine sulfate and codeine
phosphate) for a head injury in elementary school.
The first illegal
drug I ever purchased was a "rack of whites", amphetamines, in middle school."
- Athbhreith Athbheochan
'Robotrippin' by middle school students is
increasing at 50% per year.
The key ingredient is DXM, Dex or
dexmethorphan.
Lucia Martino, a 16 year old user and one of about 2.4 million teens
that have used Dex, died of an overdose in September 2006.
American consumers spent
$4.5 billion in 2005 on 'cold remedies'.
There is no remedy for a
viral cold infection !
"When drug treatment doesn't work thats
because it's an incorrect solution.
The real issue is
social justice and
equal access to housing,
employment,
wealth,
healthcare, psychotherapy,
education,
legal services - all the things that most
middle-class Americans take for granted.
We persist with
behavior modification, requiring
socially marginalized
self-medicating drug users with
serious personal problems
to stop applying the balm before addressing
the source of their
pain."- Paul Cherashore
The Mystery of the Terrifying Xanax Resurgence in
America
"Since 1971, marijuana has
been classified as a "Schedule I" narcotic, meaning it has no medical
value.
That's the same category as
Heroin™.
And as if that's not goofy enough, that also would suggest marijuana is
more dangerous than crack
cocaine, a Schedule II drug that no one in the sane world describes as less
dangerous than marijuana." - Clarence Page |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to view the world to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from
reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international
corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of
reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses
to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their
religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy
named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic
mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex of America and is responsible for the
collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction
of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation.
Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social
mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the
corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by
pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population
through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been
the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do
not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world.
Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the
population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt
international elite that further consolidates their power and which further
their purposes.
