PHARMAKEIA
When we are asked what are the Biblical signs of warning or the nearness of the last days. Most of us will mention Israel, or perhaps global economy. Some may mention the famines, earthquakes and diseases; the "wars and rumors of wars" that sweep our planet. These are true statements taken from the word of God.
Few, however, will think to mention DRUGS, SORCERY and religious DECEPTION as significant of the end times.
Even though these are mentioned in the bible , they are only brought to notice through careful study with a Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other. So if you think your favorite recreational drug "isn't mentioned in the Bible", you have another thing coming, because what you are doing falls under the heading of "pharmakeia", or in English, "sorcery". God forbids his people to engage in "enchantment" (hypnosis) and witchcraft (sorcery).

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober [self-controlled], and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
If you are struggling with drug addiction today, I have been there. There is hope. Keep seeking the Lord.
Psalms 39:7
"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
