Drugs.

People take drugs because they don't feel O.K. most of the time.

The Buddha called life dukkha - unsatisfactory.

We are looking for something to make us feel better.

A high, a buzz, a hit.....

This was the answer pushed on us by Satanists in the rock music industry.

It was fashionable.

It was cool.

But drugs lead to addiction, degradation, criminality, mental illness, and suicide.

They ruin you.

They are not the answer.

What we are looking for is love.

When there is love we feel O.K..

So if we open our hearts and give love to others we feel O.K. all the time.

And we don't need drugs anymore.
