The “moral” approach to drug abuse is not at issue here and not even the
legal one (although you might be aware that drugs are still illegal). What
we are talking about is the safety side of it. Now you may think that
because some of you have experimented somehow with drugs that this is a
futile argument. However, is your anecdotal evidence to have little (if
any) value (I mean scientifically).
See what the professionals tell us about the effects of drug abuse, and
then think twice before promoting the drug culture.
Among the side effects of MDMA, for example, we have:
Malignant hyperthermia, seizures, paranoia, chest pain, arrhythmias,
hypertensive crisis, rhabdomyolysis, syncope, sexual dysfunction, etc…
These are not fairy tales, but the result of observation of real cases.
People have died or have been seriously ill, why? To be cool or just to be
rebels for the sake of it. So, we are still in the second generation of\
Romantics( say, the end of the Ninety Century, to be more depressively
precise!). In fact, these kind of rebels celebrate but the self-destructive
nature of drug abuse against the establishment: not to talk of the fact
that the drug industry is the third economical world power....(World
Illegal Drugs Trade equal worth $ 3250bn.) and the UK drugs trade 1.2% of
GDP…So, stop being children you children of the Eighties (brothers of mine,
then, since I was a child in the Eighties too!)….
