Dearest young people,

Do you know that your body is the temple of God—not a dwelling place for drugs or performance-enhancing substances?

If only you knew the divine potential and sacred gifts you carry, you would treasure your body more than raw gold. You are a priceless masterpiece. Heaven and earth await you to rise and fulfill your purpose. But to do that, you must first understand this truth: Loving yourself means protecting your body and soul from anything that corrupts it.

One of the greatest dangers today is drug abuse. As a young person, remember this always: never disrespect your body, and never pollute your soul.

🚫 What is Drug Abuse?

Drug abuse is the excessive use of harmful substances—especially those not prescribed for medical purposes. Examples include:

• Cocaine

• Indian hemp

• Marijuana

• “Loud”

• And many others...

These substances may promise energy or pleasure, but they often leave behind irreversible destruction.

⚠️ The Silent Damage

Let’s paint a scenario:
You have a task to complete, and someone tells you a stimulant like cocaine or marijuana will help boost your energy. You try it. For a few moments, you feel powerful. But what happens next?

You’ve just exposed your heart to disease. You’ve increased your risk of stroke. And when that happens, what can you really achieve—bedridden, weak, and dependent?

Your brain, the center of your destiny, also suffers:

• Memory loss (short-term and long-term)

• Reduced cognitive ability

• Impaired reasoning

• In some cases, madness

All for a moment of escape.
Is it worth it?

💔 You’re Not the Only One Who Suffers

Drug abuse doesn’t just harm you. It tears at the hearts of your family and loved ones. When you develop health problems, they carry the emotional and financial burden. For average homes, the cost of treatments like surgeries or long-term medications is devastating.

You suffer.
They suffer.
And still—nothing good comes from it.

⚖️ No Protection from the Law

Many crimes committed under the influence of drugs are met with severe legal consequences. The law does not show mercy for “I was high.” Your actions while intoxicated may result in:

• Arrest

• Imprisonment

• Public shame

• Permanent loss of opportunities

Don’t let a single decision ruin your future.

🙏 There Is Still Hope

If you’re already addicted, please seek help. There is no shame in reaching out. Medical professionals and spiritual counselors are ready to walk with you on the path to recovery.

📌 Say no to drugs today.
📌 Avoid self-medication.
📌 There is no such thing as a “performance-enhancing” drug—that’s a lie planted by the devil to trap you and destroy your destiny.

💡 Be Wise. Be Free. Be Whole.

Your body is God’s temple. Your soul is heaven’s treasure. Don’t trade them for fleeting pleasures.

Stay clean. Stay strong. Stay alive.
