Drugs

This week's topic is about drugs.

I think drugs should be legalized, especially those that can be grown by the own consumer, like marijuana, to avoid black market and drug traffic, which generates violence. I think there is no one, especially the State, who can tell us how to live our lives, so I prefer legalization over prohibition.

I have tried some drugs, and I think one has to be conscious of the use oneself want to give it, and not let it overtake you. That's the case for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or any other one could try. Personally I like to smoke and drink.

As a tobacco smoker I think the banning of smoking in closed public areas, like restaurants, stadiums, malls, etc. is a thing of common sense. Sadly in our country we need laws in order to people to do or stop doing some things that are mere respect for the rest.

Finally, as a personal opinion  I think drugs are an overrated topic due to the belief that drugs would be able to fill the void in the lives of the people in the modern capitalistic age. The praise on drugs is a signal that this system isn't letting the human develop to his full emotional, productive and artistic potential, so drugs become an easy and un-reflexive scape. So, It's not that drugs are bad, it's just the actual weight of them in the contemporary subjectivity, which are consumed without any kind of thought, just for sake of it or even just to brag.

See what drugs have done to jesus?
