Turkmen folk tales and the works of poets and writers from the 18th to the early 20th century depict a wide variety of circumstances of opium use, as well as the medical and social consequences.(n8-n11) Opium smoking was described as a pernicious passion and a sin; it was a great shame for the user's family (no one would marry the son or daughter of a ter'iaktchy, scornful names for a social maladjusted opium addict). The attitude to the dependent person, especially in a case of overt social maladjustment, was absolutely negative. He was treated with contempt and repudiated by all.(n8-n12) Source

Don't split hairs with me.

My post specifically dealt with the use or selling of ILLEGAL drugs, not prescription ones.

These Al-Qaeda guys weren't caught shipping Viagra or Levacor after all.

I completely understand that Islam allows a follower to take prescription drugs for health purposes.
