Purchasing Alcohol or selling cars during church yes. But only certain counties ban alcohol altogether. No mention ever of drugs. I heard hemp was banned to protect the Hurst empire, how do you compete with a weed that's so much stronger than cotton? Cocaine, codeine and heroin were banned because people were turning dangerous and or self destructive. I don't know of any religions push to ban them. >> Also, most non-violent drug offenders are kept separate from gen-pop. > > I know fairly directly that this is not true (in Georgia). In NY it's true in the jails, thankfully I can't speak for the prison system. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:338433 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
