"Sorcery" is a Latinate word which has to do with the casting of lots, as in fortune telling. For the love of all real sense, would you please stop trying to be a philologist.
Drich, are you talking about "pharmakia?" FFS. That word is a NT spin cycle which does mean drugs-even medicinal ones (hello, Jehovah's Witnesses). The true word for witchcraft in Greek is μαγεία, from which, hey presto, we get "magic." Sorcery is a very different word, whose roots are not tied directly to witchcraft.
So, you are to avoid medicine, but also avoid magic mushrooms. But it is OK to nosh on your god and sip his blood and believe in transubstantiation? In other words, you guys don't need drugs to trip.
