Larry's Poetry & Prose Darken eye’s upon the land, searching for emotional strength, Finding only those who use alcohol and drugs to arouse false affection, providing spirits with a fake passion. Youth accepting obscene and lewd romances Society substituting cultural respect with corrupt rap and erotic dances, The masses lying, cheating and deceiving truth and devotion, God-fearing people pretending to care without any notion. With a world in turmoil and a people restless for change, one wonder’s how such a stage can be so filled with hatred, when man and woman find a course of feelings where emotions controls the respect of the souls Hearts aflame, Society’s shame. www.angelfire.com /nv/reservationindian/poetryandprose.html   (1494 words)

drugmain.html (1) An estimated 4,000 plants yield psychoactive substances, and about 60 of these drugs have been in constant use, somewhere in the world, throughout history--with cannabis, opium, coca, tea, coffee, tobacco, and alcohol predominating. The study of drug history can also help us distinguish between the direct pharmacological effects of a substance and those external factors which influence an individual's experience with a drug, the spread of its use, and society's response. Many Americans view the contemporary drug situation as a unique problem unlike any experienced before; in fact, the use of drugs or psychoactive substances seems to be an almost universal phenomenon which has long been a complex, often highly volatile social concern. www.ibogaine.org /drugmain.html   (9150 words)

The DEA museum The DEA museum's "history of drugs" ignores centuries of holistic use of plant-based medicines, and alleges that America has had a series of "drug epidemics," the first of which began in the 1850's and lasted until 1914. Sean Fearns, the director of the DEA's museum, told me he joined the DEA because it was a good career move, and because he believes "illegal drugs are a terrible threat to society." The museum's presentation gives credence to marijuana advocates' contention that cannabis prohibition was the result of Anslinger's need to provide employment for out-of-work alcohol prohibition agents, coupled with racist attitudes against Asians, Hispanics and blacks. www.cannabisculture.com /articles/1797.html   (9150 words)

Drug History The House of Delegates of the Association passes a resolution stating: "Resolved, The American Medical Association opposes the use of alcohol as a beverage; and be it further Resolved, That the use of alcohol as a therapeutic agent should be discourages."
