+Drugs = -Lives

What is with all the drugs? Drugs.....man's solution for every problem....and the stain of society that plagues the one's who could have been great, and still can if they only would. I've never done drugs. I know call me crazy...but I haven't. Why is that? Could it be that I have broken the system and chose to learn from others mistakes, lessening my own?

And why are so many people giveing in to this mess? You know that it's not the same country your grandparents were raised in when, a girl from school has gotten high with her boyfriend....and her mom. People really don't care that much about well being of others....or themselves sometimes. I read something today,...a cop said something like, 'I estimate that 85% of the burglaries that I investigate are due to crack.' Does what that cop said have any effect? So an estimated nearly 85% percent of the burglaries that he has investigated, would never have occured if it wasn't for crack cocaine. One of my friends has done drugs....and not just tried them,...I mean used them. And she went through the process of getting off of them, and I can tell you that she is a better person for it. The sad thing is though,...she wasn't the odd one out for useing drugs,...she wasn't alone. She takes the idea of drug use and acts as if it's nothing new. Now, she doesn't do drugs anymore, and she won't recomend them. But what I mean is that it's not an un-natural occurance to her. And the sad thing is, she's pretty well right about all that. It isn't an un-natural occurance. It happens. When you've seen someone high in Gym class, I guess it's a reminder. This really happens. And that kid did something that he'd be better off if he had not done. When you can remember someone smokeing weed at lunch time...you know it really happens. The same girl that got high with her mom ( and no I wasn't kidding about that ) brought a makeshift drug pipe to school. I'm not going to say how it was done....but the drug heads will do just about anything to have their fix, So why isn't there a faction of people equally as hostile against drug use?

The drug useing community has come up with names for drugs....and more names for drugs....and in the future to come, perhaps more names will spawn, but in reality the same mind numbing trash is behind it all. Take in the thought of the synthetic drugs. They point out to me that there are intelligent minds behind the mask. Think on how productive they could be if the people who spent their time manufacturing synthetic drugs and distributing them, would put their efforts in saveing lives istead of killing them. I know things would be better without drugs, but why can't everyone see that? In the effort to stop the spread of aids from needles used to inject crack some have resorted to giveing away free drug pipes to those addicted. That way, they can smoke crack instead of injecting it,...and hopefully lessen the spread of aids by the use of un-sanitary needles and the shareing of those needles. But wait....Here's a bright idea..., why don't those same people who spend the money to by crack pipes and worsen the condition of the crack head.......instead spend their money establishing drug rehab centers and give rehab for free. That way......they can actually help somebody! There would not be such a problem with shareing needles and spreading HIV if the people addicted to drugs were no longer addicted.

Maybe people just aren't educated enough. I'm not talking about the educational videos with the classic "Let's see what she's won" voice. I mean other people being concerned about the problem of drugs and talking about it. People don't seem to think that drugs have the capacity to kill. According to Alexander Yanevsky ( a department chief at the Drugs control services ) Nearly 20,000 Russians die every year from diseases connected with drug addiction. And about another 10,000 die every year due to overdoseing. That makes about thirty thousand individuals that lose their life due to drugs every year in Russia. Now a great many Russians have the apparent capability to get their hands on drugs. And some readers, may be thinking,....well it's a good thing I don't send my kid to Russia for school......But I can tell you, it's not a lot different here in the U.S. Thankfully the drug supply and demand, may not be as great here as in other countries. But if I can get drugs if I wanted them, whose to say that 30,000 can't do the same? Yes,...drugs do harm the body. Yes they do kill. Not doing drugs isn't just advice given to you when you were in 5th grade. Does 30,000 lives a year in only one of our many countries, sound like something confined to 5th grade or drug ed? Let me pose a questions to all of you out there in xangaville and elsewhere who have ever wanted to try drugs. Does about 30,000 lives gone already sound like it's something you want to fool around with? It's not just something you can simply start doing and simply stop. It's addictive. It will be the equivalent of slow suicide if you let it. Do you want your brain to be affected like the man on the side of the road that talks to himself? And you can find humor in that last statement if you choose to....but seriously, Think about what your doing to yourself before you do it. Think about those who have gone on before you....who've lost their lives to drugs...Their lives, the only chance on Earth they're gonna get. Do you think if you could ask them right now if they think their drug use was worth it, they would honestly say yes? Don't let the idea that you won't be accepted, stop you from not useing drugs....because if you really feel that's the case, Than you are really eager for the wrong people's attention.

All you people out there, Drug addicts, Former drug users, Never drug users, anybody. Please give me some feedback. Make someone think. And think before you make......a bad decision.
