… Drugs…
Drugs are everywhere and for everyone!
There are many reasons for taking Drugs… and these feed a huge demand!
People take Drugs to be more active, more alert, more agile, more alive… To live life to the fullest and enjoy it to the fullest… All of it…!
People take Drugs to be able to do everything that they wouldn’t do if they were lucid… interact more, work more, do everything more…!
People take Drugs to escape from reality… To be catapulted into a parallel dimension and leave everything behind… Even if only for a moment… Even if only for a few minutes… Even if only for a few seconds… Even if you gamble your life for this short time, that’s fine… The important thing is to go away… to flee, to escape, to disappear…!
People take Drugs to fulfill the need for belonging, for acceptance, for integration… To be welcomed into a group, a community, a society… To be an active part of it and not to be excluded from it… To be accepted and not to feel like a “loser”…!
And this is how people start!
This is how Drugs open the doors to a rough, dark, often endless path… This is how the demand is being fed… the damned demand that creates the supply… This is how the cycle comes to life, takes shape, shapes the World…!
And this is how we talk about it, we discuss about it, we write about it!
But let’s go back to the demand!
That damned demand which is being fed by the whole World… That damned demand which is growing year by year… That damned demand which is cross-cutting to all social groups, all categories, all religions, all ages…!
“We Children from Bahnhof Zoo”, “Trainspotting”, “Blow”, and many more!
Articles, books, films, photos, documentaries, and other forms of investigation that have been trying for years to shed light on the diffusion and consumption of Drugs in the modern society.
Drugs are for everyone and at all levels!
And this is why we have been witnessing for years awareness campaigns, social policies, advertisings, and other forms of communication that try to disseminate information on the harmful consequences of Drugs.
Consequences that affect the people and society on the social, economic, political and institutional side… for which we try to curb the phenomenon!
Drugs in fact produce monsters!
Corruption, collusion, robbery, murder, and all those other criminal actions that are generated by multiple dynamics… that currently infest the World!
Not only!
Hospitalization, rehabilitation, death… Debasement, depression, confusion, amnesia, insomnia… Psychic damage, cognitive problems, and neuro-motor dysfunctions that sometimes make people turn into “zombies”.
Therefore, every State spends millions of euros a year to cope with the harmful consequences of Drugs.
Special prisons, recovery centers, bodies, organizations, institutes, hospitals, and other subjects specialized in the hospitalization and rehabilitation of people who directly or indirectly have bumped into the World of Drugs.
Drugs indeed give you strength, well-being, excitement, and many other sensations that pervade the body and catapult the individual into a parallel dimension… A World apart!
A World that is difficult to imagine, difficult to interpret, difficult to change… A World built over the years and from which it is sometimes difficult to get out… (unscathed)…!
A World that brings you the bill in the end!
