The community attitude has been lately surprised by a number of suggested actions offered in diverse states that are intended for the legal system to have power over the supply of medicines and to facilitate the right to use so-called 'soft' drugs. Drug addiction is an observable fact that is scattering. It poses grave emotional, public, religious and ethical threats. We currently envisage the problem principally beginning the aspect of the person and his or her folks, since we have got to remember that the individual personality is exceptional and unique, with one's individual, internal experience and particular character, so we must see a person that is actually at the core of drug addiction trouble.
According to situated in Lisbon European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) every fifth European (45 million people) has tasted marijuana no less than one time. About 15 million citizens of EU have meddled with marijuana in 1999. The leader is The United Kingdom with 10 % of grown up people, Spain comes next with 7 % and Denmark is the last with 3 %. All other constituent countries have achieved a maximum of 5 percent.
With the European Union's growth the differences among countries that condemn the liberal strategy and the other countries, which (silently) help it will just become deeper. As said by many social structure experts, essentially there will be states ready to gradually permit soft drugs and their opposites determined to hold fast to the authoritarian form.
The Dutch form of supposedly benign drugs has by now entered the Franco phonic region. The contentious strategy of acceptance has crossed the Holland's frontier, so currently Belgium stopped punishing for having a smoke. Nevertheless, these states are supposed to get a good deal of disapproval. In contrast, the police units and the law enforcement departments would be interested in seizing a cocaine broker rather than a pot smoker.
My respectable listeners, at the moment I want to consider over the influence of benign drugs on our existence. I want to stress my tough opposition to permitting soft drugs, considering their damaging power that endangers the social order. To formulate my belief neutral, primarily I want to show the legalisation followers' aspect; next I will supply strong opinions to support my standpoint.
First of all, when points of view are revealed for making the 'soft' drugs legal, it is impossible to avoid generalization and trivialization, particularly when making the subject of deeply human and ethical character a matter of politics. Several followers of cannabis legalisation affirm that the reasonable application of some chemicals, defined as 'drugs', would never lead to biological addiction or to corporal side-effects. Others declare superiority of identification and help to soft drug addicts sooner than keeping their status of forbidden medicines users, so as to lend them a hand and look after the social order. I am sorry to tell the followers of this opinion that it is speculative as nobody has provided evidence that liberated admittance of drugs aided juvenile group to have power over their use or assisted the state to watch illegal chemicals brokers or stopped their activity.
Subsequently, medical knowledge and pharmacy have all the time hunted to take benefit of chemicals with the purpose of treating illnesses, to develop the surroundings where they live and to add to the enjoyment of social gatherings. The addicts have experienced that several of these chemicals generate anesthetic and soothing or invigorating and delirious feelings. However, these 'medicines' all together bring attention failure and a changed logic of actuality. Using these chemical at first leads to the alienation and is followed by addiction, and the consumption of more and more powerful stuff. In a number of instances, the drug generates such addiction that the consumer lives just to use it.
At present, respectable listeners, let me center your interest on the opinion which shows with certainty that cannabis approval may have damaging consequences to our existence, whereas the secondary reactions may produce shocking results to the general public.
To begin with, in the little progression of a hardly any time drug addiction was approved starting with a fairly restricted application, limited to a wealthy and decadent community, to a common experience disturbing juvenile population in particular, ruining souls, withdrawing from a great deal undertakings, and which up to now no state has accomplished in dropping or still manage. Most drug consumers are juvenile and the time of first contact is getting earlier and earlier. Kids and youth belittle the danger of drug using still at school witnessed by the helpless tutors. Drug addiction is exactly the prospective threat to the social order. For this reason the teenagers and grown-ups in their twenties ought to be our major worry; as nowadays they are becoming the primary sufferers of drug addiction.
Afterwards, the consequences of drug application differ from one preparation to another one, with no possibility to differentiate, at the chemical stage, among the sorts of safe and deadly medicines. What determines the effect is the amount taken, the method of assimilation and final consequences. Furthermore, each day fresh preparations appear for sale, with new properties and pose new problems. Finally, the trouble with drug addiction ought to be correctly expanded to embrace numerous stuffs (tranquilizers, soothing means, anti-depression means, and stimulating medicines) which are not regarded as poisonous substances, together with tobacco and liquor.
Further, medicine addiction shows a lot of severe individual troubles with the juvenile population. Some adolescents are attracted by intoxicating preparations for their weak, not fully formed and messy character which frequently openly shows the educational faults from their childhood. Since long time ago the largest part of experts in the pedagogical subjects have claimed that the social order leaves young generation, alone without concern or regard for their upbringing and does not give them any public, educational or spiritual basics wanted to build up their character. We exist in an environment where the teenager goes his individual way before the right time. We expect to make him autonomous and self-sufficient and, all at once, he misses the adults' help wanted for him to grow up and accept the social order. Without this elementary confirmation; the teenager looks for it and as a result develops a variety of relations of confidence in new friends, abuse of different stuff and aggressive manners.
Furthermore, as drug addiction with the adolescent results from the faults of our didactic methods, there is no certainty in what way the validation of this stuff helps having more power over it by adolescents and, most of all, how it may possibly make them realize the things to be looked for by means of these medicines. The justification of drugs means the danger of bringing the contrary result. Actually, it is simple to declare anything officially permitted as standard, and thus ethical. By justification itself not the medicine is allowed, but the causes of its use. One must admit the fact that using drugs is a vice. It does not matter if the drugs are unlawfully bought or sold by the Government; they are at all times dangerous to everybody.
I expect my presentation to have persuaded the respectable audience that cannabis legalisation is destructive and might guide to undesired additional consequences for the social order. When we meet this rise of urging for the legalizing of drugs, a question should be asked concerning authentic dangers it creates. Who can in fact identify the reason for the open exchange of drugs to be made legal? Who wants to say if we enforce the in opposition to drugs, do nothing against them? Has enough thought been devoted to what the specialists have always been trying to communicate, about drug addiction as not an issue of drugs themselves but of the situation that makes the people addicted? In sight of these troubles, the main task of the Government is the protection of general welfare. This involves it to care for the constitutional rights, strength and agreement between the relations. By spoiling an adolescent individual, drugs demolish the family unit, both the current and the prospective one. If this essential unit of social order is endangered, the civilization will experience a universal disorder.
