<<I don't see how a drug pusher can be accused of breaking either I or II>> #1 Well if you have placed your God on the fore front of all else, then you are serving God and the codes of morality that God has defined (commanded) for you to live by. If you are living your life to get your next fix then you do not have God before you as a purpose to live. If you are doing that so that some other junkie can get a fix then you are definitely not concerned for their well being as you would your own. #2 "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:" A drug pusher is a servant to what? Many things maybe but not God. Keep in mind that I am not Christian or Jewish so I don't really feel that this is my cause. I too have my qualms about the recent wave of legislation. On the other hand I have to be honest with my feelings regarding the big ten.

Probably all ten commandments since the drug pusher induces the user to become enslaved to the drug and at one time or another break one or more of the commandments. The user becomes beholden to the drug. He may steal, lie, or cheat in order to satisfy his craving for the drug. He may even commit a murder or a burglery in the course of getting the funds for his drug. His craving of the drug and doing anything to satisfy that craving may be interpreted as violating the first several commandments about his relationship to god.
