A preliminary step any different from the present approach must inevitably be a rethinking of the problem we have with drugs. Society should be able to objectify what are the elements that should really worry about and what are those who, with no significant risks have been getting historical and cultural inertia in the same boat as the others. For example, it must be the inevitable conclusion that cannabis and its derivatives do not present a social problem only when we define it as such stigmatize and imprison their users and those who provide them. This refocusing of the drug problem should be aware, very clearly, what ills are due to drugs and what the social and cultural environment that the ban has created.
We must realize that the distorted view that our society has the drug problem is due in large part to achieve widespread the problems caused by opiate use to other substance abuse. Our ideas about addiction, withdrawal, physical degradation of the users, the loss of quality of life and socialization of those who consume the drug compulsive need to get leads to crime, etc. is an image, though distorted by the ban, generated primarily by heroin. Are opioid-dependent people who generated in our country's major health problems resulting directly or indirectly from the drug. But it will be clear, I hope, that the health problems of our heroin is called, mainly AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis and adulteration. Problems have only met the current magnitude of the 'solution' prohibitionist.
worry says drug use among youth, but it seems that we will not realize that for example, of the 1,210,000 young drug users, only 40,000 are heroin users, ie only 3.3% youth who use drugs. And only 3 per thousand compared to the general population is a consumer of heroin. O data are put in place, trying to be different the different, or any alternative to prohibition seem irrational, it is only when the current globalization of the substances.
