ADVOCACY Cures Not Wars
advocates a way to end the phenomena that is popularly known as "the drug problem" with a twofold approach. Clearly, the harm associated with drug abuse is agreed to be the damage that is caused to individuals who are addicted and the harm they cause society by their addictive behavior. It is clear that drug treatment is key to the solution. The problem is that drug treatment, as it exists today, is slow and ineffective at best and a cruel hoax at its worst. For most addicts willing to
quit treatment is unavailable due to cost and overcrowding. This is why we promote Ibogaine for drug treatment. IBOGAINE IS THE ANTIDOTE TO ADDICTION Beyond the disease of addiction is the cruel persecution of drug users by drug prohibition laws. These laws are largely enforced against harmless and non-addicted users of cannabis instead of high level distributors of the drugs of addiction. It is wrong and deceptive to group cannabis
with addictive drugs, not only because cannabis is not addictive but that using cannabis is anti-addictive. If we followed the Dutch example of separating cannabis from hard drugs by putting it in its own regulated market system we would reap the same benefit of less hard drug addiction. Since most people who want to smoke pot for recreation are already doing so this change would not create a significant rise in the number of users. As the veil of government secrecy is lifted and medical
science becomes the source of drug information we may see a reduction in the use of the legal drugs of addiction, alcohol, tobacco and mood elevators. Pot is the anti-drug, to know what I mean takes an understanding of addiction and the relationship between cannabis and Melatonin. ADDICTION, MELATONIN & IBOGAINE EXPLAINED Prohibition creates an environment of fear that scares addicts away from treatment
options and blackmails progressive politicians from attempting to dismantle this bureaucratic idol.
