What about prescription meth?

This book is written from a spiritual angle, so naturally, somebody who reads this book with a neurochemical bent may mistakenly point out that it's absurd. But to look at it only from a neurochemical angle in terms of how it affects the catecholamines misses the point that meth can be looked at from many different angles. It affects a person's thoughts, emotions, and behavior. And it can also be instrumental in destroying a person's life and ravaging communities. The author tries to draw some parallels between a biblical definition of sorcery and how the microcosm surrounding street-level meth is a manifestation of modern-day sorcery. I don't agree with every point because some assertions that are made cannot be proven with conventional scientific methods, but can only be speculated on anecdotally. In one instance, he asserts that the fact that creating meth requires a recipe is an indication that meth is sorcery. While I do understand how meth can be considered modern day sorcery, the association of meth to sorcery because a recipe is involved is spotty at best. I believe one aspect of modern day sorcery is manifested in the form of consciously controlling somebody's subconsciousness by whatever means available, and to that end, meth can be sorcery the way the author describes how some use it to achieve selfish purposes. However, one thought that came to mind was that if there is any truth to the author's claims that street-level meth is a form of sorcery, can we also consider the possibility that pharmaceutical-grade ADHD medications represent a form of institutionalized sorcery in much more subtle degrees? Adderall and Dexedrine are pharmaceutical amphetamines, and Desoxyn is pharmaceutical methamphetamine. These are prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy. Dexedrine is still used by Air Force pilots to keep them alert during long flights. New medications are being created to get away from the stigma associated with prescribing amphetamines to the general population, but the effectiveness of amphetamines and methamphetamine cannot be ignored. Pharmaceutical companies approach these drugs primarily from a "chemical imbalance" point of view, and we're left to figure out the spiritual implications of these drugs ourselves. Certainly, the overt and seedy effects of street-level meth don't apply at all or to the same degree that pharmaceutical amphetamines do, but for instance, there are similar issues of potential dependence on the drugs and the manufacturers of the drugs. But why stop there? Why not consider the fact that there is a spiritual component to just about any major psychoactive pharmaceutical drugs out there (including SSRIs, opiates, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines) if we're considering the principles laid out in this book? Although I'd be hard-pressed to make sweeping conclusions about pharmaceutical drugs since their purpose and method of usage differ quite a bit from drugs that are created primarily for recreation

Makes sense to me

My son read this book in a jail cell and it has changed his life---we hope forever---when nothing else worked. If so, we will be forever indebted to Mr. Box for sharing his story and his insights. Thank you so much!

Spectacular book on how to change your life

I think this book is the most motivational piece of work I have ever read. I have been on Meth for 4 years now and I got in trouble and while I was being held for a court date I found this book in the book case they had in the prison I was in. I read it and immediately I was in my cell praying to god every night and doing what he said I should do to change my life forever. I've now been clean for 5 months and I'm still going. I havn't had one craving or one bit of want for Meth ever since I let Jesus into my hear. I'm now a full blow Christian at First Assembly of God in Bentonville and my life has never been greater. THANK YOU STEVE BOX!!!
