Blog Entry 15 of 181 Everyone Has an Opinion; These are mine
Everyone has a right to their own opinion, everyone does not have a right to their own set of facts. The lie of political correctness, the motive of a relative society is to confuse people into mistaking wrong for right. There are biblical absolutes and I try my best to adhere to these principles and prcepts. Do I make mistakes YES. Do I get confused YES. But I never mistake dishonesty for honesty and I know a lie when I tell it. So, that all said, these are my opinions as I see them.

METH or meth
Contributed by: Charles Paul Stephens   on 10/15/2007

I find it strange that each day we see another story about how addictive
Methamphetamine is. We see the highly educated folks claim it is the
most powerful street drug ever, with addiction coming after just 1 or 2
uses. Yet in almost the exact same breath we see another teacher
demand that another student be placed on ADD or ADHD medication.
In many cases the two drugs are one in the same. Most doctors treat
ADD and ADHD with a high concentrate of pharmaceutical stimulates;
namely methamphetamine . So why would the two drugs be different
in addictive powers? Could it be that the truth is not being told? Could be
the old phrase - "better living through modern chemistry"; as long as it's
our chemistry? It would seem that the idea of peer pressure vs peer
review is confusing our chemist of today. Having worked in or around the
recovery field for over a decade, having written 4 books on my personal
experience, I have a strong belief that chemistry is hurting much more than
it is helps when it comes to our children. With one fifth of America on
some sort of psychotropic drug , with America still consuming 80%
of the illegal drugs of the world, we must stop normalizing drug use.
Suffering from manic depression as I do, with occasional fits of rage
I understand the importance of journaling and listing as a way or life.
Oh I could be lazy too and just take the pills and lay in bed BUT my God
does not want me to do that today. Nor does HE(God) like to see our
small children stimulated into a state of submission while their teachers,
preachers and parents cry "problem child" Now, I do not claim to be an
expert, nor have my papers been presented for a laughable peer review;
I am a thinking man and a pretty good reader, and what I see is a major
flaw in reality. Either Meth is highly addictive or it is not? And if it is why
are we feeding it to our children at an alarming rate?
