Drugs - the free-willing dilemma.

You know , I was supposed to write about this pretty evil experience that I had in the local Thai-restaurant along with it's aftermath , but Blogger messed it up. So , I'll just write about something else then. This time , I guess we'll talk about my views on drugs.

Alright - First off , what do I think of drugs and drug-users in general ?

Well , drugs are like candy-bars and alcohol. People choose to buy them and get addicted. No-one forces their use on you. In my opinion they should be legalized so everyone could get them if they wanted to.

Why such a universal solution ? Well , in my opinion , you shouldn't stop people from acquiring this sort of stuff if they really and absolutely wanted them. But , what should be made clear after the legalizing of all drugs , is that no-one , and lastly the society would be in no position to help or assist in any rehabilitation of drug-addicts. These people , like alcoholics have all made a choice to drink like hell. No-one's made them do it. So , like that one quote says: "life's hard , but it's harder if you're stupid".

Of course drug-use would increase after the legalization. But so what ? If some crazy fuck-heads inhaling PCP would decide to go around running with assault weapons in hand and shooting other people , the best way would be to just order the law-enforcement to put a few bullets in the drug-users skulls. As for the passive addicts , I would only let them continue on with their lives until they would have enough of spiritual strength and willingness to quit using the stuff all by themselves , or die. Since , many times the government-supported rehabilitation programs for the addicts are a completely useless money-drain. Of course some of them turn up a few successes , but the concencus still is that they are a lot more useless than useful.

Yes , I do not understand the idea behind rehabilitation clinics. Since , people these days should be able to have the guts to just simply stand up and decide not to use them anymore. You don't need clinics for it - You can just stop and decide that you'll never again going to touch the stuff. You just need enough will power and emotional strength to overcome it. Just as much as you've needed that emotional strength to start using them , too.

If some people would actually survive many years of constant drug-use and still call themselves happy and contributing members of the society , then I would happily let them have their drugs. Who's to deny something like this - what could be compared to candy or alcohol- from the common folk ? If a person truly wants to get high then by god he should , too. But, the risks come with it too , of course. The individual has to understand the risks too , I'm afraid.

It wouldn't be mine - or the society's problem if the person ended up in the proverbial "gutter" after using them. I would deny them any rehabilitation programs and just tell them to straighten themselves up. Because , afterall , they had started to use drugs out of their own free will. The spoils come with it , unfortunately.

After enough of bodies littering the sidewalk and teen-age girls shooting liquid heroin into their veins in broad daylight people might actually get the big idea. The big idea being that drugs just aren't OK and that they will sooner or later kill you. They're a cheap and fast thrill that will always come calling time after time. If a life like that sounds comfortable and nice to you , dear reader , I suggest that you start hoping for my election as the president one day.
