Well, here we go. A doctor is being threatened by a drug company for his very public offense on a local drug called main puri, a combination of tobacco and drugs. When he began his mission, the drug was legal. Thanks to him, it is now banned. However, since the ban, the manufacturer of the drug has stepped up the threats. The doctor, Muhammad Sharif, an M.D. who runs an addiction help program in Pakistan, may have to close down his rehab center.

According to Dr. Sharif, main puri can cause mouth and throat cancer, oral cavities, and rigidity of the jaw. He’s coping with these problems in his patients every day. Let’s hope he can get enough of them through his addiction help services before they get cancer.

Dr. Sharif is not the first person, nor is his addiction help center the first organization, to be threatened one way or another by those whose profits are derived from the enslavement of others - in this case, drugs are the master. A lot of very wealthy people are supported by drug addiction and dependency, and they’ll do whatever they have to to keep those profits coming. How can you fight them? Get the people you know who have a drug problem started on the addiction help services they need. Reduce the demand.
