REPOSTING May 20, 2014 (readability improved)


Therapist:  The next question has to do with a medical/social issue that we have not been able to solve.  It is the problem of addiction, specifically, drug addiction.  We consider illicit drug sales to be crimes.  The criminal elements (drug sales) are driven by profit.  How can we, as a nation, effectively help those who are addicted and, stop the cycle of crime?

Zetan:  Your population’s addiction concern is a very deeply rooted social problem.  It is dangerous, particularly from our viewpoint, where the importance for clarity of mind and rational thought connected by our telepathic abilities, puts such quality of life issues at a high premium.  In our society, the foolish individual indulgence of one can, to a large extent, affect the broader population.  Someone, affected by toxic chemicals or mental illness, would have a farther-reaching effect on the community of mind we enjoy that characterizes our species. Coming from such a viewpoint, drug abuse would be a great concern.  It is exploitation by those who create profits for themselves on the weaknesses of others.  The problem of drug addiction needs to be treated in a medical context, not a legal one.  Your legal efforts, for the most part, have failed.  The illegalization of certain drugs is very expensive in attempting to hold back a flood of problems. 

The solution is to make these illegal substances freely available. This would devalue them to nothing.  By making them available to all, this will destroy any profit motive and make treatment for these social diseases more freely available for curing/eliminating the desire or motive to use such substances in the future.  This practice would eliminate the misconceptions of illicit drugs being a benefit.  They will only be seen as a liability.

I scan Steve’s mind and I notice that his parents would often serve wine to him and his sisters at a young age.  This is part of their social structure from Steve’s father who came from where this was not considered improper.  The wine that was served was often diluted with water.  This created, in his social unit, a  learned  social  pattern  where  consumption  of  such
wines was not a form of escape.  When it is freely available, there is no desire to abuse it.  It is, again, a strange psychological manifestation in humans, manifested as rebellion and underscoring the illusion that, if a known quantity is good than a larger quantity should be better.  The debilitating effects are forgotten and the physiological trap closes.
