Drugs Quotes
Thou hast the keys of Paradise, oh just, subtle, and mighty opium!
Thomas de Quincey

John Lennon
The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it.
John Lennon

Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Jesse Jackson
A sober man may become a drunkard through being a coward. A brave man may become a coward through being a drunkard.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The experiences which drugs induce are as far removed from Reality as is a mirage, from water. No matter how much you pursue the mirage, you will never quench your thirst, and the search for Truth through drugs must end in disillusionment.
Meher Baba
We broke up mostly because we didn't have a manager and everyone was on different drugs. I don't take them so it was a bit weird for me.
Ian Brown
Penalties against drug use should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against the possession of marijuana in private for personal use.
