The legalization of drugs and decide if it is a good option
Legalize drugs?
The debate to legalize drugs is not a new problem, on multiple occasions they have heard of this issue, the population is divided into two, those that are in favor of making legal substances such as marijuana, cocaine and poppy andagainst. Drug consumption brings a series of negative consequences, in my position I would say that the benefit of substances such as marijuana is closely associated with health. Legalize drugs not only bring health problems, if not environmental, economic and social. The Colombian population is not yet ready to legalize drugs. At this time drugs are illegal and cocaine and poppy crop-consumption rise dramatically.
According to studies and research of the Week magazine, the population that most accessed psychotropic substances is young. 58 % of people who resort to them are under 24 years old and 77.8 % still live with their parents. According to UNICEF data, 35 % of young people between 13 and 15 years say they have taken alcohol in the last month and 17 % smoke daily.
The legalization of drugs would only be ¨ Open the window to death The consumption of some substances generates a dependency, an addiction. Understanding as an addiction, addiction to a chronic and recurring disease of the brain that is characterized by a pathological search for reward and/or relief is considered to use the use of a substance or other behaviors. The case of Laura Duarte and Estefanía Arroyave found dead in her apartment by overdose of "Tusibí" (2cb) evidence that drug dependencies lead to death. In 2015 according to FM 450.000 people died from drug use. The most lethal drugs are those derived from opium, including heroin or morphine, as well as their synthetic substitutes, such as fentanyl, and which in total cause 76 % of deaths, collects the World Drug Report, broadcast in Vienna.
Another reason against drug legalization is that drugs create neurochemical mismatches in the brain a study led by Volkow in 2003. A American Mexican psychiatrist and researcher whose work has focused on studying the brains of drug addicts, observed that consumption of psychoactive substances causelong term usually has consequences at the brain level. At the functional level, problems can also occur due to the neurochemical mismatch that occurs, for example, in reference to motivation, memory and cognitive control, it also causes the decrease in glial fibrillary acid proteins and other consequences that directly affect the brain. Which concludes that a life submerged in drugs drastically affects health.
Additional to this creates emotional alterations that for society I could become a big problem. Humor alterations are frequent with drug use. Not only in the long term, but also in the short term, which means that a person can go from being relaxed to feeling irritated and aggressively. Creating disputes and alterations to public order.
In conclusion I have no more to say that the legalization of drugs will even more raised death figures over doses, respiratory diseases, weakening of the immune system, psychological disorders etc.
