The harm caused to drug consumers via the enforcement machinery of governments is often significantly greater than that caused by the drugs themselves. Families are ripped apart, people have their lives shattered by incarceration, and entire sections of society live at risk and in fear.
Thus, by definition, any comprehensive application of harm reduction must embrace defence against this unremitting war against people.
For this reason, Section 4 of The Drug Users Bible includes material to help confront and defend against the brutality of the drug war. Segments providing; legal information, a mandatory drug testing discourse, a counter-media kit, various activist resources, and general argumentation are provided within this.
With the intent of encouraging more cohesiveness amongst the community at large, the following extract, which presents an overall context for the ongoing tragedy, was also included.
Human rights, polotocal improsonment & state terrorism
To hold sovereign and exclusive ownership of one's own conscious mind, to explore freely and without boundary, is surely the most fundamental of human rights. Or, reflecting this in the first person: to determine what I put into my own body, causing no harm to anybody else, is my own affair and not that of a third party or state.
These rights are indirectly enshrined within both the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution, but regardless, they are held as canon by the rational and reasonable across our planet.
It clearly follows that to forbid the use of psychoactive materials, which are often naturally occurring botanicals, is a gross and direct infringement of these inalienable freedoms. Ipso facto prohibition is self-evidently a wilful exercise of external control over the individual’s mind and body; an undeniable constraint on personal liberty.
Equally, the categorical and unambiguous breach of these rights is an unequivocal political act in statute, decree and enforcement. By definition this renders anyone imprisoned for contravention of this mandate to be a person imprisoned for their political beliefs or actions, which is the textbook definition of a political prisoner.
In this context the war on drugs constitutes a brutal and unremitting exercise of state sponsored persecution and oppression. It can reasonably be regarded as organised terrorism on a global scale, targeting those who choose to exercise the politically proscribed human right of perturbing their own consciousness. It is a war of terror, explicitly terrorising users of drugs and their families.
Death, addiction, mass incarceration, and appalling social wreckage are inevitable consequences when the machinery and propaganda of state are ruthlessly and mercilessly turned upon innocent citizens in this manner. Historians will surely view this as an age of barbaric ignorance and cruelty, and will castigate the perpetrators accordingly.
It is worth emphasizing that according to the United Nations more than 250 million of the world’s population use drugs, so by any measure this is a significant inority. Indeed, for almost any other oppressed community of this size campaigns for civil and legal rights are well established and widely reported.

It is well past time that this applied to the victims of the politically manufactured and globally prosecuted crime of choosing to exercise an innate and personal freedom. It is well past time that this community organized across territories and across the artificial barriers related to drug of choice.
The war on people who choose to consume drugs is an affront to any society which presumes to call itself civilised, and resistance to it is the moral duty of anyone who opposes oppression, injustice and persecution. In very real terms it is state-sponsored terrorism, and an inescapable consequence of this is that anyone who supports it is, at best, a terrorist sympathiser.
