Psychoactive, phsychadelic, other observed toxins in stores in Washington state

[Raccoon1010]

There are at least 3 potentially psychoactive drugs that appear in news, Fox news and elsewhere, that I wanted to bring to fellow Christians attention:

Cannibus (Marijuana)

MDMA (ecstacy)

Psilocybin (mushrooms that induce hallucinations)

Although in the USA there are state interpretations of constitutional rights, there are also federal laws that may be enforced, including controlled substances to ensure safety of society as well as other reasons.

Psychoactive drugs are troubling when I consider their use as a caring Christian. I was under the belief that hallucinagens and psychoactive, psychedelic drugs can compromise an individuals abilities which appears to include paranoia, and induced psychosis as well as other effects.

Some people in society may enjoy even a glass of wine, strong drink or beer for relaxation and even stress and pain relief. I think it is wise to be careful when consuming alcohol such as mild drinking when at social gatherings, to only drink with trusted friends. And such direction as provided by the Bible. Not everyone drinks and that is wonderful. We should be productive in our world and religious practices which is also directed in the Bible. Which is to be sober during our productive day. Old age and illness might be a reason for alcohol use. An elderly or ill person that has chosen to use alcohol instead of doctor prescribed pain relief medicines can be cared for by family and friends.

Proper hydration, electrolytes and eating healthy in proper frequency, and ensuring they have proper non-alcohol breaks between drinks is important for alcohol related pain relief. 12 hours or more in between doses is helpful, as well as not too potent of a alcohol level in the blood stream.

Proverbs 31:6

"Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart."

Hallucinagens I do not support as they can cause visual and thought hallucinations.

I have observed that alcohol has a short recovery period for sober functionalty rather than psychoactive hallucinagens which may take weeks instead of hours.

Thank you if you have read this article and look forward to your insights into the matter.

Thank you for your observations.

There is no reason for Christians to want to “escape” with drugs that deliberately alter one’s mental state. But yes, some do offer beneficial pain relief (although addiction can be a problem). Thus, it might be argued that laws restricting such drugs are unnecessary, and even counterproductive (e.g., Prohibition), but instead we should help others turn to God and free them from harmful selfish desires.

The incredible number of people who are zoned-out on drugs tells us a lot about how Godlessness has let them down. The enormous efforts to restrict the flow of these drugs into the country should thus be paired with a renewed preaching of faith in God, which is the best long-term solution to the “drug problem.”

Blessings.

My old college buddy Mr. Bill used to do 'shrooms and drop acid. He came to Christ after an exceptionally bad trip. He told me that he went to Hell and met Satan there. The trip just kept going on and on and on. It was so awful, it scared him straight. He met the woman who would later become his wife that same week, and she introduced him to Jesus. Praise God.

They say God works in mysterious ways. Even through 'shrooms.

Satan is definitely a good detergent from the highway to hell. Happy his lady friend delivered him to the Word of God and happier lifestyle experiences to enjoy.

God and the life heaven experiences are always enjoyable.

Happy God was there for him and also his friend first. Christians are definitely needed to be there in such cases.
