“We have now spent 1 trillion dollars waging the drug war since it began. A trillion. Those funds could have been used for education, jobs and drug treatment in the communities that needed it most. We could have used those funds for our collective well being, instead those dollars paved the way for the destruction of countless lives, families, and dreams.” WayWellsHas BeensWarDreamJobsUsedCommunityNeededDrugDestructionDollarsWell BeingCollectivesTreatmentFundCould Have BeenFamily LifeWar On Drugs Author:Michelle Alexander
“LSD was my "wonder child", we had a positive reaction from everywhere in the world. Around two thousand publications about it appeared in scientific journals and everything was fine. Then, at the beginning of the 1960s, here in the United States, LSD became a drug of abuse. In a short time, this wave of popular use swept the country and it became "drug number one". It was then used without caution and people were not prepared and informed about its deep effects. Instead of a "wonder child", LSD suddenly became my "problem child".” PeopleWorldChildrenTwoCountryStatesUseProblemUsedUnitedNumbersWonderUnited StatesEffectsFineDrugThousandAbusePreparedWaveReactionsJournalCaution1960sPublicationShort TimeLsdProblem Child Author:Albert Hofmann
“People who use LSD today know how to use it. Therefore, I hope that the health authorities will get the insight that LSD, if it is used properly, is not a dangerous drug.

“Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so.” PeopleLittlesWarGovernmentUsedLossResultsEffortPayLibertyPovertySacrificeDrugProgramCurrentsTerrorismDeterminedAppealsConvinceFrighteningIgnoredPromptsGovernment ProgramsWar On Poverty Author:Ron Paul
“Television, radio, and all the sources of amusement and information that surround us in our daily lives are also artificial props. They can give us the impression that our minds are active, because we are required to react to stimuli from the outside. But the power of those external stimuli to keep us going is limited. They are like drugs. We grow used to them, and we continuously need more and more of them. Eventually, they have little or no effect. Then, if we lack resources within ourselves, we cease to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually. And we we cease to grow, we begin to die.” IfsNeedsGivingMindLittlesUsedDiesGrowsEffectsInformationTelevisionSourceDrugResourcesRadioActiveCeaseImpressionDaily LifeSurroundArtificialAmusementStimulusProps Author:Mortimer Adler
