The laws of god direct us not to partake in narcotics and chemical alteration of our minds, lest we become wrapped up solely in the feeding of our habits, with not a thought for God’s kingdom.
Those who control the economic system would rather see us absorbed in such selfishness, where we could better be made to serve them. It is a new law of supply and demand: If they control the supply, we must give in to their demands.
Conversely, if we do not desire what they supply, they will not be able to demand anything of us. This applies to much of what modern society produces for our consumption. Drugs can be more than mere chemical compositions. We are told in Revelation 18:23, that “for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
This includes cultural conditioning via the media, lying and tricking mainstream religious figures that lead their congregations astray. These merchants comprise the pharmaceutical companies, who push ever more complex and expensive medicines onto people who often do not need them. They comprise the academics and psychologists who are absorbed with leftist philosophies, and are obsessed with creating a world without moral rules, where the population can be controlled with narcotics, made slaves to drug dealers. When we are deceived by these “sorceries”, we cannot be following the laws of God.
It is often argued by people calling themselves “libertarians” that it is down to the individual’s choice, and that, if they wish to ruin their minds and bodies with ungodly chemicals that is their choice.
But this ignores the far greater need of society to have the healthy and righteous people that keep it functioning. If such a person were to take drugs that resulted in a car crash, killing several children, and this was repeated in multiple instances, it very quickly goes beyond individual choice, and becomes a national epidemic, with inefficient services and systems staffed by semi-lucid people, society would collapse into a nightmare in a short space of time.
Hence it is necessary, not only for the state to prohibit drug use, but for the individual to be strong willed enough to refuse to give in to vice in the same manner. This individualism that is pushed by the media is really just selfishness at the expense of the wider society as a whole. For if you only act for yourself, you are easier for the antichrist governments to control. Those who act with unity in the name of God are a much more unstoppable force of nature.
If we are to live godly according to the word of God, we must act in a way that does not harm our fellow people. This means abstaining from doing ourselves that which could have a harmful effect on other people, whetehr this be through what we consume physically or spiritually.
