christian drug resource...

I'll send someone $20 if they can find a resource online that provides valid unbiased information on drugs.
I'm looking for an avenue to talk to my parents about my younger siblings and the greater risks of prescription drugs. I can't find anything but Christian propaganda.

erowid?
I'm confused as to what you want to know. I guess erowid is a little biased toward drugs..but it's doubtful that there is a better place to get information.

my family is christian and they're clueless when it comes to drugs. If they read anything positive about drugs, they disregaurd it as propaganda and hippy BS. If their were a reputable valid resource then It would be easier for them to become educated on drugs.

well depends on what kind of drugs your going to educated your family about. If theres 'a christian unbiased valid drug resource' of any kind, I dont know any, because everybody's biased, especially most christians.
http://www.equalrights4all.org/religious/bible.htm heres a site that talks about Cannabis and the Bible (donno if that'll help)

That's interesting but I'm looking more for something that's endorsed by christians. Erowid isn't really...
Unlikely? Yes
a need for one? Very badly.
I/We should start one.

check your ratings.
That's an interesting article but what i'm looking for is a website very similar to erowid that provides unbiased drug info and is supported and directed toward christians.
Something aimed specificly at that demographic.

Yeah, I think you'll have a hard time finding something like that. Even the most liberal Christian denominations (Methodists, etc.) only support marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Good luck, though.

Do you guys think there would be potential for reaching these crazy christians? They tend to ignore the truth when provided by counter-culturists... I think they would respond better if it were provided by christians or endorsed by them.
I think it could have more influence than NORML if it were approached correctly.
I/We should give it a shot.

man your not getting it. It will never happen. Drugs are a sin in the christian religion. there for your never going to be able to find christians saying hey this drug is good if used proberly because it not just the drug hurting you that christians dont like its the fact that your in an altered state of mind and not thinking correctly.

You're assuming that I said, "A christian resource that says drugs are GOOD."
I didn't. But, I did say, "Christian unbiased VALID drug resource."
There is a big difference that I don't think you're getting.

I think Rastafarians might technically count as Christian.

I suppose you don't have an unbiased government site either huh?? Because over here we have some relatively unbiased drug information coming from the government;
It's in Dutch but you might find it interesting to have a look at... I'm not 100% sure this is a government site but to me it looks very much like one... http://www.drugsinfo.nl/
