Communities all over America are struggling to fight drug addictions and the devastating effect it has on communities. While big money, drug cartels and celebrities like Snoop Dog flood political activist with legalizing Marijuana. States like Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and New York, create safe haven zones for drug use without police interference. None of these activist and big money groups seem to care about the devastation, health decay and rotting of life quality. 
Politicians seem to be more concerned with legalizing drugs that reap profits for dealers but utterly destroy hope, family life, and quality of entire cities. In drug havens crime and prostitution are vehicles to finance usage. Investment in drug usage leaves no investment in life.
Centers like our own Faith Seeds and Eva’s Village, uplift the community by providing food for the hungry, housing for the homeless, and addiction treatment. Places like Atlanta Union Mission provide the bare necessities of clothing and daily bread, but the restoration of dreams and hope is often lacking in community. There does not seem to be a path to wholesome life. Drug use and its horrors often take years and decades from the dreams of youth. A users who starts a drug plagued life may not see the upcoming erosion until late in life. Then facing impossible odds to over come.
Eva’s Village CEO Howard Haughton shares, “Our community has a soaring need and the need is greater than ever. So we’re here to provide the guidance, support, and resources that they need that will empower them to live healthy, independent and productive lives.”
This is the common theme throughout the communities where drug use has been all but legalized. There is little publication as to its effects on the individuals life or its affects on community.
