"Nothing so needs reforming as other people's
habits.
Fanatics will never learn, even if written in letters of gold
across the sky.
It is the
prohibition that
makes anything precious." - Mark Twain
"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, as millions of people
know - unlike "speed," which
kills most unpleasantly, or Heroin™, which can be
addictive and difficult
to kick." - Gore Vidal,
1970
"Wide availability and peer pressure makes it
almost inevitable that everyone will use drugs at some time." - Peter
MouldingMarch 1999 Institute
of Medicine (IOM) finds cannabis has no significant addictive potential.
The report notes that "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 go not make it a risk factor for
progression to other 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.
And if the over-the-counter
painkillers have been abused why not abuse the PHRMA in mom's medicine cabinet?
When I finish elementary school and started junior high school it was a
whole new story.
These boys and girls were braver and more experienced
- they had begun using drugs already.
And need you really ask the which
drugs were being used?
Those that were the most easily accessible -
tobacco and alcohol.
Cigarettes were number one with cheap wine and
beer a close second.
And of course there was already quite a few that
were 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 PHRMA, and the number of teens trying these drugs
for the first time." - Columbia University's National Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse chairman and president Joseph A. Califano Jr.
US
Drug Enforcement Administration says nearly 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 now
cause more overdose deaths than cocaine and
Heroin™
combined."
"People need to stand up and take notice.
Our
kids are dying.
They're dying because of PHRMA chemicals." - Lynn
Kissick
22 year-old Savannah Kissick overdosed 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. It affects, quite literally, every kind, every type of crime
that we have, 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. 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
"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 cooperation. Cooperation 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.
