The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.

When you start fooling around with drugs you're hurting your creativity you're hurting your health. Drugs are death in one form or another. If they don't kill you they kill your soul. And if your soul's dead you've got nothing to offer anyway.

Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem not as a matter for the criminal justice system.

I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.

In today's world it is shortsighted to think that infectious diseases cannot cross borders. By allowing developing countries access to generic drugs we not only help improve health in those nations we also help ourselves control these debilitating and often deadly diseases.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then take all of your records tapes and CD's and burn them.

Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self-esteem. They're no good at all.

Young people can get very discouraged and get hooked on drugs or on alcohol because of problems they perceive as insurmountable. It is important that they realize a mistake need not ruin their future but they must also know that not everything in life is a bed of roses.

Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.

I wasn't even 20 at the time but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man a warm funny loving family man and turn him into a loser and worse.

I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is nothing is more boring people like this. For me it's OK. But most of my friends at least they smoke and drink.

I'm not a drug addict. My wild period wasn't about drugs it was about sexual freedom.

We must oppose programs that would take food from the mouths of younger generations to buy prescription drugs for old people and we must do it... for the children.

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.

Food during my early years was a very difficult issue for me. I grew up in an addictive family. My mother had serious problems with alcohol and prescription drugs. I was an overweight kid. I can remember back in those days there weren't the strategies that there are today to deal with those issues.

Mankind: A quality of life upgrade is available to each and every one of you. It should give you a quality of life upgrade which means no drugs no alcohol no fast food - unless of course it's a mallard.

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime welfare mothers immigrants and aliens the more you control all the people.

Getting a family into work supporting strong relationships getting parents off drugs and out of debt - all this can do more for a child's well-being than any amount of money in out-of-work benefits.

Left-wing politicians take away your liberty in the name of children and of fighting poverty while right-wing politicians do it in the name of family values and fighting drugs. Either way government gets bigger and you become less free.

In our society daily experience teaches the individual to want and need a never-ending supply of new toys and drugs.

Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs criminals and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy adding costs to our judicial healthcare and education systems.
