SELLING DOPE LEADS TO DESTRUCTION

Editor, Enterprise-Journal:

Selling dope is like traveling down a one-way street that leads to a 
river your vehicle runs into it. I promise you that the river is deep 
and you will drown.

First of all the man that's furnishing your supply is watching every 
move you make. When you buy that Yukon or Navigator he will start 
fearing that you have become too powerful, so he will be the one to 
set you up. Remember, he is not going to let you run anything. There 
are always four or five guys waiting to take your place He's not 
worried about you being locked up.

Most of your boys will envy you and will try to figure out a way to 
take over your territory. The police will be watching because it is 
against the law.

The Lord is against you because your dope is destroying His children. 
If you don't go to the pen or get killed, you will make the Master 
Jesus Christ angry and that will be the end of your line.

Once you get popped, the state will own everything that you own. It 
will also own you.

It just doesn't make sense to me for a man to make $500 a day for two 
years and then lose everything he owns, along with having his freedom 
taken away.

After spending 25 or 30 years in prison, no one will hire you so you 
will get hungry. You will start to steal or sell dope again. You get 
caught and you're going back to the pen. But this time for 55 years. 
There you will die.

All of this happened, but you only lived well for two years, and even 
then you had to watch your back all the time.

I pray that all dope dealers will read this letter and Jesus Christ 
will change their heart.
