Drug addicts are suffering from spiritual starvation', Maitreya

      The only way to deal with the individuals internal world is through the power of the environment that Self-Awareness is created.

        When an individual walks into a church he feels peaceful and tranquil; the Self experiences this, and the mind no longer in confusion or turmoil.

         If there is no stress and strain in the surroundings, then there is no need for drugs, for within the human body is the most powerful drug known to humanity - detachment. And that can only emerge within a sane, clean and peaceful environment.'


        Narcotics-- an overdose can cause sleepiness and even unconsciousness
uppers and downers--uppers (stimulants) produce excitement, increased rate of heartbeat, and rapid breathing; downers (depressants) do just the opposite
mind-altering drugs including LSD and other street drugs may produce paranoia, hallucinations, aggressive behavior, or extreme social withdrawal
illegal drugs such as marijuana may produce only minor effects such as dilated pupils, redness about the eyes and slurred speech; intoxication, however, can produce more serious effects
legal drugs can adversely interact with other medications you may also be taking or can produce an allergic reaction in certain individuals. Legal prescription drugs are often taken in overdose to achieve effects other than the therapeutic effects for which they were intended. This may lead to exaggeration of their effect (as in uppers and downers), or serious side effects.
