One of the issues where liberals and conservatives have insurmountable differences is precisely in the handling of drugs and abortion, although on issues such as security, the economy and the development model itself it distances us from the so-called “progressivism”, definitely the form How both currents address the problem of drug consumption opens an unbridgeable abyss between both positions that go beyond the merely ideological.
To better demonstrate these irreconcilable positions, it is enough to look at the insistent discourse of the government and its followers regarding the consumption of marijuana; While they continue to promote that there are patients who must be given medical care and spaces adapted so that they can continue using in a “controlled” manner, for us, those we see are addicts who, through a conscious decision, preferred the world of drugs. ; Of course, there will be exceptions where the circumstances are different, but the constant will always be the same, around drugs there is only destruction, death and obvious social damage, period.
What is not in discussion are the effects that drugs have on the individual when he decides to become a drug addict, the deterioration of his health and the impact on society, which, for the most part, still rejects him and which, furthermore, continues to view the possibility with repulsion. of financing these people with your taxes, deepens the discussion much more; Now, in the interest of being fair and not stigmatizing everyone who consumes, since we know and know of people that in the highest spheres of society, drugs are their daily bread and a guest of honor at their parties and meetings. intimate, where politicians, famous singers, renowned actors, models and even judges and prosecutors, just to name a few, this practice is part of their “normal” life.
Likewise, this select group of conscious drug addicts have the common characteristic that their position and condition allows them to self-finance their addiction and they do not have to go out and commit crimes to get their dose and, when the drug wreaks havoc on their health and lives, Their families have the ability to pay for specialized institutions to detoxify them and once they have recovered, they resume their deadly cycle of consumption. But what happens to the boy who falls into drugs and his family barely has enough to eat? Well, we all agree that this person will go to all means to obtain the money for his dose and this is where crime, social decomposition, moral decadence and everything that surrounds drugs, appears and ends up turning families into hell. who suffer from a drug addict in their homes.
Ah, but what happens is that the author of this column is an ultra-Gothic caveman who does not understand that the “developed” and free world decades ago overcame these problems, precisely, with the measures proposed by Creole progressivism; Maybe they are right in thinking this way, however, someone must insist to them that we are not even developed and much less will we adopt as normal a culture that only brings pain, shame and destruction to families and resign ourselves to seeing young people take the life of another for stealing from them. a phone to exchange for a dose of drugs; That being the case, I will continue living in the caves.
While for some “a joint” from time to time is a “recreational” activity that does not harm anyone, for others it is the door to hell since anyone who in one way or another has experienced the hell of an addict He knows that after trying it he could never get out of it and today that human being became another statistic that under the induction of fashion, the libertine currents of “letting young people develop their personality” what we did was give them freedom of choosing how to kill oneself in life and kill others.
In my particular case, I will never see as normal a person consuming drugs in a park or in a public space where my little daughter has to witness the sad and decadent spectacle of someone who consumes, I will never accept as “progress” the vice and filth that There is behind drugs and I will always vote against everything that represents these positions.
Let us allow art, music, recreation, sports to be brought to the outskirts of schools and parks, to be filled with sellers of books, poetry, theater and culture, just as the reflection says “… let’s see if just vice, someone gets a few lines of books”, meanwhile let them go somewhere else with their marijuana.
