Karl Marx said: "God is the opiate of the people", and he was right. God is the only remedy that really works. If people looked to God for help, there would be much less need for drugs.
Drugs are also a temporary solution; and the more you take them, the more you need to achieve the same result. Then they eventually damage the body or kill the person.
Not so with God. You can never have too much of God. The closer you get to Him the better you become--physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The knowledge and presence of God never has a detrimental effect on the body.
So instead of taking drugs take in God's Word in the Bible. Spend time in prayer and adoration. Read Christian spiritual classics and lives of the Saints. Attend Mass or worship services. Receive the Eucharist often. This will bring health to your body and your soul.
My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands; for many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you. Proverbs 3:1-2
