Seed Psychology
cleveland:
Yes, sorry I was typing fast. I mean, make most drugs legal, as is alcohol. This keeps the price down and removes the incentive for drug dealers - today's bootleggers. Monitor use means - make users aware of risks and provide treatment for addiction. Try to limit access to youth.
Reduce sprawl means - instead of abandoning the city, and leaving drug sales as one of the few options for employment, limit the sprawl of suburbs through reducing incentives like city subsidy of water and other essential services, or charge a development fee to build on green pastures instead of redeveloping land in the inner city. It all fits together.
I know none of these options is perfect, but hypocritically banning drug use and limiting treatment in prisons, hospitals and public health facilities while pushing AA as the only option, mostly because it's low cost (but not very effective, according to statistics although I've had family members who swear by it!)
What other options do we have?

That you are proud to have been a member does not negate the fact you were in a cult.
Perhaps you should read up on cults...the intent behind the personality group is almost always religious or self help with a hidden agenda to recruite, build a financial empire, garner a loyal and unquestioning following, expand and control. Exclusive language and an us or them mentality is always evident. The seed contains almost every element of a destructive mind cult which incidentially always has followers that claim to have been saved by the group such as yourself. This is repeated over and over in such groups as scientology, Moonies, Hari Krisna and other cults that have come and gone and still exist.
The Seed could be used in textbooks as a case study on the rise and fall of an american cult.

Greg- would you call the Cathloic Church & every other religion a cult? Is everything organized a cult. Does anything help people that isn,t a cult in group form?
