Synthetic K2 seasoning is rife and you can blame the ban for creating this new dilemma

How prohibition creates new drugs and why legalization is the way to go

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, almost 40% of people there have tried an illegal substance at some point in their lives. This may seem normal in this modern world where many people as monks cannot soberly resist reality.

The interesting thing is that the Australian government has enforced many laws against drugs and illegal substances and even spends between 400 and 700 million dollars a year on enforcing drug laws, but illegal drug use is increasing every year, so something is clearly wrong.

Maybe the governments of the world got it all wrong all along, and maybe legalization is the way to regulate drug use and save lives around the world.

Spice/K2 Chemicals

According to the CDC, marijuana copycats have sent thousands of people to emergency rooms over the past decade. Some have even died, including a 17-year-old boy “who went into cardiac arrest after reportedly taking a single ‘puff’ of K2/Spice.”

Synthetic weed laced with foreign, untested chemicals has become extremely popular in states and territories where marijuana is prohibited by law.

These above substances are perfectly legal and the government doesn’t seem to be doing anything about them, even though these chemicals are untested and unregulated. This means that people are literally injecting chaos into their bodies, thinking that it is a good herb that will help them relax and unwind.

People don’t seem to realize that the dangers of introducing untested substances into their bodies and minds are far greater than getting caught with marijuana. Therefore, people just buy them knowing that they are at least safe from the law.

The black market doesn’t give a damn about health, it sells what’s profitable

If you expect a street vendor to monitor quality and ensure the drug is safe for consumption, you are wrong; not because the dealers don’t care about your welfare (in fact, many of them don’t), but because they simply sell what makes them the most money.

And to make big bucks you inevitably lower the quality of the product, it’s human nature to seek more profit at the expense of others with less knowledge, and it actually gets easier when you’re a stranger, damn some of they might even use their own questionable products to take the edge off an already stressful life as an illegal drug dealer.

The point is that while drugs are illegal, people still use them, some researchers might even argue that drug prohibition increases the desire to use them even more.

The black market is focused on moving products as quickly as possible and there is no incentive for them to keep products “on the move”. We now know that prohibition will not stop consumption, so hoping that “demand” will one day wane is wishful thinking at best.

In addition, drug networks are becoming more sophisticated and have chemists making new drugs that are still not regulated by law. Why deal in illegal drugs when you can make a lot of money in “grey drugs” or “unnamed unregulated” drugs? .

It is unethical to limit an adult’s choice to alter their own mind/body

Can you imagine waking up one day and seeing some shocking news on your social media and news outlets: “SUGAR IS NOW BANNED EVERYWHERE!” It happened all of a sudden and people went wild.

The government that banned sugar is telling people that it is one of the most dangerous substances on planet earth, that it gives temporary pleasure and does a lot of damage to the body and brain. You may want them to use harder forms of sugar, like hard candy or candy bars!

This is actually not wrong, sugar is a very dangerous substance that we give to children. It is hands down the most addictive substance on planet earth, dwarfing cocaine.

It causes increased inflammation, cancer, diabetes, increased blood pressure, and weight gain, and the list goes on.

It’s actually crazy how common sugar is in our society, and funnily enough, it wasn’t a big deal until the obesity crisis hit the US and other parts of the world.

Back to the apocalypse of the sugar ban, people will rebel against such a law by making it clear on a daily basis that they can put whatever they want into their bodies.

And they are not wrong either, we only have a very limited time on this flying space rock and as long as we don’t harm each other we can do what we want with ourselves; This is how people learn, grow and develop.

So there’s really no difference between what they call “illegal substances” and sugar.

Too much of anything will likely kill you, as will too much sugar.

Yet one is legal to use, given to children as a reward, and the other is frowned upon and your whole life could be wasted in prison if you get caught using it.

Same, different societal norms. People have the right to eat sugar and enjoy it in moderation, as do drugs. In a free society, you should be the alpha and omega of your physical choices. The government has no more right to tell you what goes into your body than it has to tell you what comes out.

The importance of education

Because all drugs other than alcohol are illegal in most parts of the world, there is little to no drug education.

We hear they are evil and evil and will ruin your life since we were kids.

But once an adolescent, under the pressure of family, school, friends and relationships, loses all hope of life. He has a moment called, “Fuck it, I’m already down, why don’t you try it, what’s the worst that could happen…”

The young teenager takes a few hits of a joint and immediately feels relaxed, although the thoughts on his mind don’t seem to matter that much, he finds that he has had very positive experiences with the so-called “bad drug”. .

He has felt lied to and betrayed his entire life. He discovers a new joy, a new relief called “drugs” and believes that it can solve all of life’s problems. However, this is just an avoidance mechanism and often doesn’t work the way people expect. If it doesn’t work according to the constructed narrative, they start experimenting with other substances to see if “it works”.

This is what happens when there is a lack of proper drug education. .

Proper drug and substance education will likely make people more aware of what drugs are and how to manage/use them wisely, and will quickly reduce the bad drug-related events and help people avoid addiction and substance abuse in their daily lives . But if we continue with the DON’T TALK ABOUT DRUGS!!! Approach, we essentially throw teenagers in the deep end with sharks and ask them to swim!

Drug prohibition doesn’t stop the flow of drugs, it amplifies it, making way for new, untested drugs.

This is pretty obvious to almost anyone with a working brain, the more the law fights drugs, the more people are curious about them and the more intriguing they seem. Hence the increase in drug use after every drug war.

Drug lords around the world are excited about these drug wars, they thrive on Prohibition because for them it’s just free marketing and a new opportunity to bring new drugs to market that only chemists know what’s in them and which ones effect they have on consumers.

Imagine how crappy it would be for all the major drug trafficking organizations to hear that they were competing with the legal market that offers higher quality products with guaranteed safety. What do you think would happen to their profit margins? That would be the end of any criminal who made his fortune selling drugs, that would be the end of his unethical career. Why wasn’t the war waged like this, one might ask? Well… politics.

Call for the absolute lifting of all drug bans (as seen in Portugal)

All of the above may seem pretty far fetched to some, and others might even think that just legalizing all drugs is impossible, isn’t that crazy? Well… what if I told you that Portugal has already done it and its results are phenomenal?

Not only has Portugal been hit by heroin addiction, but since a hygiene crisis, people have had to deal with an addiction accompanied by HIV. Portuguese addicts died slowly and miserably until the government did the unthinkable.

“It was almost impossible to find a family in Portugal that didn’t have drug problems,” said João Goulão, the architect of Portugal’s revolutionary drug policy.

In 2001, Portugal took a radical step. It was the first country in the world to decriminalize the use of all drugs. They began to see drug addicts as patients who needed help, rather than criminals who deserved jail time.

A 2015 study found that since Portugal adopted the new national strategy in 1999, leading to decriminalisation, the per capita social cost of drug abuse has fallen by 18%. And according to a Drug Policy Alliance report, the percentage of people jailed for drug law violations in Portugal has fallen dramatically, from 44% in 1999 to 24% in 2013.

All in all, there is plenty of clear evidence that the War on Drugs and Prohibition is only leading to more drug use and harmful innovation by black market vendors.

Legalizing all drugs doesn’t mean encouraging people of all ages to take them, it just makes them safer and more regulated for the people who would be taking them anyway.
