from a Christian perspective, there seem to be three choices, all bad.
Choice 1 drug use is a moral failure ( and it often is) and as a christian i must educate you out of your moral failing, by whatever means.
Choice 2 Drug use is a weapon of war, ( and it always is) therefore I must save you from this weapon, by whatever means.
Choice 3 Drug use is a social disease, and as such, it is my obligation to isolate and contain the contagion until the contagion passes. ( let us begin the beguine)
(that's an awful joke, i should be ashamed) ( But I'm not)
I think, these days, often , ::unhappy:: of my buddy, former D.E.A., legalize, and prepare for bloodbath. Yeah, I think that right
I think that social animals have a way of righting themselves, if left to themselves. Mostly, from a Christian perspective, I think. why would you worry about the mote in your brother's eye and ignore the stick in your own.
That's the heart of the problem I think.
J.O.M. ::unhappy:: as for me well i don't much care what you do. if you're on my property without good reason it'll go hard. if you're a fed looking for my still you're on your own in a dark wood. If you suffer or are in pain just tell me and i'll try to help Why woulnd't I? and I'd expect the same of you. J.O.M.
