2,000 years ago they did not have psychotropic manmade drugs ... they used psychotropic herbs. The English words psychotropic& drug… did not exist. In the years of the apostles, they did have the Greek Words, pharmakeus & pharmakon . In Revelation 21:8, the Greek word, pharmakeus, means one who prepares or uses magical remedies(potions) – (occult substances), made from,pharmakon a noun, meaning, a herbal drug, i.e. spell-giving potion, that makes youSTONED/HIGH !!! In Revelation 22:15,pharmakos , (adjective)pertaining to magical(occult) arts. Rev.21:8, addresses the one who prepares or usesthe occult “psychotropic” substance. Just like pharmaceuitcal companies do today in mass. Rev.22:15, addresses the associatedoccult activities. You can see that these Greek words are similar, yet different but obviously related … because the Apostles who walked with Jesus & the Holy Spirit who wrote these passages knew psychotropic herbs & the occultwere and still are closely associated. Psychotropic herbal spell-giving, “tripping”substances that make us stoned or high … induce, mumbo jumbo(stoned confusion), distort & open up our mind to the spiritual realm,deceptivelymaking us feel at peace & connected …to evilspell-giving spirits, invoking occultism…even extraordinarymagical,supernatural power orinfluence.Magic Mushrooms are a powerful example & Marijuana tea is a subtle example. Magicis explicitly referring to stoned/high !!! Just a coincidence, if you’re in denial !!! In 1611, when the King James Bible was translated in Middle English, the word sorcery was used as a general term referring to “all” occult related activities and “substances.” The translation is correct but general … so we check the original language for the specific details. It was not by chance that in the last two chaptersof the book of Revelation, which was writtenfor thefinal generation, that these two passages woulddefinethe similarities and differences ofoccult substanceandactivity. In this generation, these two references of occultism are at an historical all time high. Obviously, Godknew he “was”speaking to our generation !!!

No, pharmaceutical companies are the tool of a conglomeration composed of extra terrestrials, Elivs's ghost, Sasquatch, and Bill O'Reilly. Definitely not Satan - that's just silly.

Serotox and Prozac are drugs prescribed for depression. Made some patients suicidal and several committed suicide. Research showed the suicide risk dated back several years but doctors were not informed and continued to prescribe them. The Pharmaceuticals knew the dangers but suppressed them.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of big pharma, but even what you described are not drugs made to be psychotropic that the only purpose of is to be psychotropic.
I take a pretty strong anti-seizure medication. Without this medicine, I may be unable to have a normal life. The side effects are terrible, but I would rather deal with them than seizures.

Trying to read that post with the bewildering number of colors, font size changes and stuff is like a psychotropic drug*.
*Not that I actually know anything about that, I don't even drink alcohol.
Seconded. I was just about to write something similar.

Pharmaceutical companies are not Satan's tool.. nor are pharmacists or doctors.. They are only part of the way business is done today in American medicine.. Can it change? Yes indeed but Satan is more likely interested in maybe encouraging greed and duplicity and fomenting conflicts..
