There is no good reason to take drugs illegally but there are reasons that make people think it might be an alternative for them. The world can be a scary place sometimes. The fast pace of life in general, the pressures we deal with on a daily basis and perceived dangers of everyday life are enough to put the most stalwart person on edge. Add medical issues and/or emotional issues as well as social economical status adds to the mix.
It’s no surprise some people seek illegal drugs to help escape. In earlier times, about the only escape available was found in a bottle of alcohol. Today’s desire for instant escape has drug manufacturers scrambling to come up with better and faster acting chemical cures for anxiety and insomnia. There are dozens of new drugs to tranquilize us, making our problems appear trivial, at least for a while. These drugs on the market are the new illegal drugs on the street. Sold without prescription is no different than buying weed on the street and are just as dangerous and addictive as if you were purchasing crack on the streets. Still, prescription drugs have become the new escape drug for many.
You hear about the War on Drugs and how the government is trying to end the drug supplies coming into the States, but how do they curtail the abuse of prescription drugs? Where does prescription drugs fit in, if at all in the War on Drugs when the drugs are legally manufactured here or brought into the States legally? Anyone can get prescription drugs, any one can abuse them, and anyone can get addicted to them just as badly as if one was addicted to heroin. Like the saying.. when one door closes another one opens.. problem being one door hasn't even closed and a new door has opened. Illegal drugs being brought into the States has never stopped, and now legal drugs being used illegally is making a huge hit on the drug scene and unfortunately becoming a very profitable illegal business.

I'm in my early 60's and by this time in our lives, most people are on enough prescription drugs that they can't afford anything else. The 20's and 30's seem to be the age when illegal drugs are the popular thing to do. I'm glad I never got involved in any of that.
ReplyDeletePeople might try to hide behind drugs but they are only adding to their problems. Drug use, whether they are legal or illegal, only compounds a problem, it never solves it.
