Don't Equate Alcohol and Opium to Party Drugs
Ignorance is Not Bliss.
Party drugs are Not Only Marijuana which is grown in Himachal Pradesh & Farmers are given Incentives to boost farming of Marijuana.
Amphetamines were used during late seventies as a weight reducing medicine to suppress appetite & was available over the counter without Prescription.
Lots of untoward side effects were noticed & it was withdrawn from the market & made a Prescription Psychotropic Drug
I am surprised by Western concept of unleashing medicines First & then removing Drugs after earning a reasonable profits through sales of untested medicines made available Over the Counter !
Marijuana Can be Equated with Alcohol or Opium ( both forbidden & addictive )??
Maybe Yes & Maybe No because all of the above are Painkillers & Can be given for a short duration of time.
Ask a person about the amounts of Bone Pain felt,just after a Fracture or a Bypass Surgery where Sternum is cut & sewed again ?
Ask a Mother of a toddler having colicky pains or coughing non stop ?
I am Not Justifying use of Opium but in certain conditions, This is the Only Choice-Opium & its derivatives like Codeine
Marijuana is a Cash Crop of States Like Himachal Pradesh because of various Eco friendly Uses.
It's Fiber is Used to make Uniforms for Soldiers & the Cloth is Warm,can withstand Cold weather ,is Eco friendly Unlike Easily Available Synthetics Or Rapidly Declining Woolens made from Pure Wool.
Amphetamine is the Devil Incarnate.
Amphetamine has many variants.
Amphetamines can lead to Suicidal Tendencies,besides other behavioral changes.
Amphetamines Are Addictive.
The Person dealing in Sale & Purchase of Amphetamines is Not a Consumer.
This Person is Always on a Lookout for a Vulnerable Target.
This Person Can Mix the drink with a bit of Amphetamine & Create a Temporary HIGH,getting accolades in return, trying to be a Social Climber & Socially Connected.
Some of the failed doctors from AIIMS were Selling Amphetamines & Posing as Medical Insurance Agents who Were Rolling in Money Along with Their Associates Settled Abroad. ( Misuse of Brand AIIMS ).
No Wonder that India Needs a Special Agency-NCB, National Narcotics Bureau to Deal with Agents of Death & Destruction.
People who are hooked on to National Weeklies or are on Social Media,should IGNORE people Who Are Justifying Use of Drugs & Equating drugs with Derivatives of Opium & Alcohol more
