We sometimes forget how lucky we are! 

Just today, a Pakistani guy who I went to school with, is now on drugs and he approached me asking me if I have any spare change. He looked mentally unstable, but still recognised me        Really sad ...

I am from cali, and at least a third of kids here are stoners

I know a guy who often ties a pagg to school (sometimes a simple pendu parna) and I have caught him vaping some times in the bathroom

In India there is a temple in Kerala called Sabiramala where the diety Lord Ayyappa resides. Every year there is a 41 day pilgrimage when only men are mostly allowed. This involves a rigorous schedule of fasting praying etc. No alcohol sex or drugs are allowed. Many have reported being cured from their addictions having gone through this ritual. 

Perhaps a similar festival could be considered to alleviate the drink/drug problems within the community.

Sikhs does not believe in such fasting thing or praying for certain number of days. This is what our guru sahib ji taught us to be away from such rituals. Our gurbani teaches us how to be in chardikala state 24/7. Our nitenem and daily schedule of amrit vela is the cure of everything. Yes, our folks are not following it but they should and that is the only way in our dharam to be free from social evils.

Religion is there to help us in our spiritual development. We are not supposed to blindly follow it, otherwise how would Sikhism exist in the first place.

Arya Samajis are told not to do idol worship and if I had not done it I would not have learned its positive benefits. 

Luckily my father always said we should experiment and experience ourselves as Gandhi advised. He ate a piece of steak in front of me to say he can eat it but he doesn't want to eat it. My mother would not even eat beef flavoured crisps though they do not have beef in them.  My father was an occasional drinker but one day said he will not drink anymore and never did after that day to the day he died more than 20 years later.

So if someone is suffering badly they should be able to use their discretion to find a solution to their problems. 

With your comments they are currently being left to rot. 

I do not believe Sikhism was ever meant to force people into such a mindset.

I respect your religion as it is and you also need to respect other dharam. Sikhs are known to be very welcoming and it would be nice if folks out there stop taking advantage of that. It would be better idea if you will start your journey to find a HinduSangat forum.

I was talking about cali 

It is the most liberal state in US and therefore is liberal when it comes to drugs as well lol 

And I'm sure bani can cure any rog that inflicts me or others willing to follow sikhi

    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
