An Insufferable Hell

The more the drug consumed, the more it is needed. It becomes an addiction.

(MADRID, Spain) - “I have seen my generation scouting among the black streets at dawn vitally searching for drugs”, asserts Allen Ginsberg.

Nowadays, drugs – taken along with alcohol – are turned to by more than 48,000 youngsters between the ages of 14 and 18. These tendencies can lead to the abuse of cocaine and cannabis.

They represent only 2.2 percent of the population. However, the phenomenon is alarming. It produces various consequences, such as memory loss, poor school performance, and missing out on classes as well as discussions. These consequences provide some clues to the problem. Narcotics are also the cause of many car accidents.

These were the results shown by the National Plan on Drugs, during the exhibition of the 2007 report on defeating alkaloids. The use of heroine has increased, a drug which is sniffed through a small straw, as Chinese surveys have come inform.

The more the drug consumed, the more it is needed. It becomes an addiction. Drug dealers tempt their clients to buy drugs, promising them the key to paradise. What it is not said however, is that the real price to pay is the consumer’s self-destruction, as well as their physical and psychical deterioration, transforming the idealized paradise into a living hell.

“The fight against the market and drug consumption. The will to stop this pernicious threat menacing the social net – which promotes crime, violence, and contributes to the physical and emotional destruction of many people – requires a political compromise, international cooperation and the support of the entire community”, asserted Pope Benedict XVI.

Very simplistic and broad-brushed article.I started smoking pot when I was 14, and took LSD whenever I could. I graduated from High School at age 16 on the Honor Roll (a year early), and have had a happy and successful life since...and I still smoke pot. By the time I was 25 however, I had lost three friends to alcohol..two car crashes and one drowning.
