“Is the solution prohibition?”
The problem will resolve itself as you can’t fix stupid, they eventually get the Darwin Award.
Actually, the greater problem, along with legal prescriptions, is that drugs block spiritual growth. Our individual souls are created to create an inner disturbance when we sin. Drugs block the discomfort created by sin.
In many lectures at universities and conferences I have done a demonstration to show how prayer works to increase the operating frequency of consciousness and accordingly the person’s perception of reality.
People on antidepressants can pray for an hour and there is no change. The drugs block the human brain from increasing the neuron action potential firing rate. On drugs, intelligence and critical thinking is hindered as the brain can’t reach high beta frequency.
I ask again, is the solution prohibition?
As an aside, I quite good agree with your proposition, drugs do block spiritual growth and I would add that spiritual growth is the real antidote to drug and alcohol abuse.
The evidence becomes more clear every day, our time to end drug prohibition is running out.
