A Deeper Purpose
Political leaders ought to be driven by a sense of what is good for their citizens, yet those who pander to groups who only want hedonistic pleasure—or who possibly have entrepreneurial interests eventually involving convenience store shelves and glamorous packaging—may be more interested in their own welfare than that of the nation.
Marijuana use is illegal in Canada for a good reason: it is harmful to its users, and to the nation. It, and other drugs like it (and others even more deadly) rob the individual of potential, and leave behind broken dreams and shattered lives.
It is a tragedy when people, young or old, view “getting high” as their primary pleasure in life. Such people are living without knowing any purpose for their human existence. Yet there is such a purpose that can be known and achieved. Our sober human mind is a treasure, brilliantly designed by a great Creator—one who plans to offer mankind an awesome future with potential undreamed of in the human sphere. To learn more, request our free booklet, The World Ahead: What Will It Be Like? No chemical known to humanity can begin to deliver the wonderful sense of fulfillment God makes available to those who learn to take pleasure in living His way.
