Satanists Say NO To Drugs!

There are those out there who like to say that they are Satanists as
defined by the Satanic Bible yet want to join the Church of Satan and
think they will be welcomed with open arms.

Satanists DO NOT USE ILLEGAL DRUGS.

Those who do will be excommunicated from the Church of Satan.

The Church of Satan does not welcome hippies or wanna-be pothead devil
wor****ppers (spiritual or Christian Satanists).

Here is an excerpt to back up the former claim:

"Lately I've come across a lot of propaganda by those who would have
you believe that Anton LaVey tolerated the use of illegal street drugs
among his friends and associates, that he had "no problem" with people
around him shooting up, getting high, losing control, and abdicating
responsibility.

When somebody tries to convince you that Anton LaVey 'secretly' held
beliefs and opinions that were in contradiction to the writings he
continued to produce during his entire adult life, it's time to get out
a barrel of salt, not merely a grain.

Conveniently, LaVey was interviewed countless times and his statements
on this subject are consistent, leaving no need for you to be
hoodwinked by con artists with their own agendas to push.

The following excerpt is from the Alameda County Weekender, February
12, 1966. I'm including a scan of the page for good measure.

'...At any rate, there is no doubt that the manufacture of love potions
(above) and their drinking (below) is very nearly as old as love
itself. As to what goes into them, aside from a large dose of
suggestion, that is one of the secrets of the profession. LaVey,
however, does not hesitate to point out that nothing narcotic is among
the ingredients. In fact, the use of any narcotics has no place in
magic as LaVey sees it. 'It is true that drugs have been used in magic
and in certain religious practices and still are by some,' he says.
'The use of the peyote ritual in certain Indian churches -- and which
has been recently adjudged legal -- is an example. But for our purposes
the use of drugs would be definitely harmful.' How serious he is on
this point is shown by his attitude on LSD. 'Like opium, marijuana,
heroin and so forth, it ought to be shunned like the plague' -- an
interesting observation in view of some of his paintings which, despite
a definite beauty, are so macabre that they look like the production of
a Left Bank artist who had subsisted for weeks on a diet of absinthe
and laudanum.'"
