QUESTIONMARKS- Do you think we should allow drugs openly???

I have been reading so much about people indulging in violence, killing each other, and beating and abusing innocent people under the influence of drugs and alcohol. I think road rage incidents have become a common thing at the drop of a hat.

QUESTIONMARKS???

Here is the million-dollar question: “Do you think we should allow drugs openly, or will it stop the illegal use of drugs once they are available at the drugstores?”

Since we have changed the terminology from king hit (or you might call it a sucker punch) to coward’s punch, how about we do the same and change the term alcohol-related violence to cowardice-related violence?

No one has the slightest doubt about the fact that alcohol plays a role in crimes everywhere in the world. We can prove it with the data provided by different governments, although not most cases of alcohol-related incidents are reported by every victim.

We should keep in mind that there is a time when everyone feels dejected with almost everything going on in their life and a point is reached when they cannot resist the temptation of being violent.

But it’s not necessarily the point that comes when one is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. One could well be violent without having a drop of alcohol or tasting those dreaded things called toxic drugs.

It was when I was working on a mini project on a website dealing with the role of IT in the Medicare sector, and the most debated topic was whether the use of marijuana was “good or bad.”.

Most participants came up with the same opinion that if marijuana was used within a prescribed limit or as prescribed by a physician, there was no harm.

I was not surprised when I read that almost 40% or even more criminals detained by police were because of their criminal acts under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Alcohol is more frequently attributed to detainees than all other drugs combined, though these were not as severe as the ones committed under the influence of drugs.

I was also not surprised when I read the report that 60% of criminals were under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both.

The fact is, once a person is under the influence of drugs, he forgets all about good, which is not the case with alcohol to some extent.

It’s surprising to note that illicit drug and heroin users were more likely to indulge in criminal acts, but cannabis users were the least involved in such crimes.

There is another aspect of the use of drugs apart from crime, and that is the number of people dying by the use of illicit drugs, which is rising alarmingly of late, especially by taking an overdose.

We can’t deny the fact that there is a relationship between drugs and crime, but then the situation in different parts of the world could be different too. We read that drugs and alcohol have a wider role in crime.

Maybe the criminals were not directly under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but they committed some of those crimes to get the money.

In the end, consuming alcohol or using drugs doesn’t give us a right to become abusive. My favorite way to let the steam off is to stand against a punching bag and have a go at it. Oh yeah, I would not dare hit someone even if I was a little high at that time.

When too angry, I feel fine as a punching bag sets everything in place once I’m through the process and face the world in a perfect state of mind.

What do you say???
