In China,"Pornography, gambling and drugs"It is strictly forbidden because it poses a great danger to society and people. However, in some Western countries, these illegal industries have been legalized.
In 2018, Canada passed a law authorizing legal use by adults**. Why has the multi-year policy of banning drug use changed after five years? What is the situation in Canada today?
The legality of drug use.
Since the 19th century, Western countries have opened our doors with opium. History has taught us that drug abuse harms others and ourselves. Not only can it cause an individual to become addicted to drugs, hallucinations, irritability, etc., but it can also endanger the whole family.
Therefore, in our country, drug use has always been prohibited by law. Somehow, however, more and more Western countries are gradually beginning to accept the legalization of drugs, which is clearly at odds with our perceptions.
For example, the Netherlands is known as the "best paradise", where drug abuse is not only legal, but also various behaviors such as pornography, gambling and drugs can also exist legally.
Until October 2018, Canada was a country with strict drug use. However, a sudden change occurred: Canada declared that adults could legally smoke it for "recreational" purposes.
It's important to know that in the U.S., only a few cities and states recognize the legalization of drug use, not all of them nationwide. Canada, which is adjacent to the United States, took the lead in relaxing drug controls.
Canada's decision is truly astonishing, why would a country that is already in a good position suddenly make such an unreasonable decision?
A long time ago,"The sun never sets on the empire"Canada has been one of the countries and regions that have carried out colonial aggression against many countries and regions. With the arrival of the British, exploitation unfolded.
In order to make a profit, investors in the UK ask Canadian residents*** seeds, and require them to master planting techniques, and then trade ** to make windfall profits. These were eventually sold by the British to many places, including the Canadian mainland.
In the historical environment of this period, many ordinary Canadians were addicted to **, and the number of drug users was huge. Even after the colonizers left, despite the explicit ban on the cultivation and trade of drugs, it was still difficult to effectively control them.
The legal possession of guns in Canada has further strengthened the power of drug trafficking organizations, resulting in the emergence of many drug trafficking and smuggling gangs, who will even use violent means to compete for market share, and cause many bloody crimes.
Canada** has tried to restrict the flow of drugs, but has been unable to do so. The ban has become more severe, and the drug dealers have become more and more unscrupulous. In the end, Canada gave up and completely abandoned the anti-drug policy, but chose the path of legalization.
They have not only set up special ** sales points in major cities, but also equipped with professional employees. Even the police no longer have to bother arresting drug users, and once someone is found to be using drugs, the police's role is to provide the correct and safe "drug guide" to the drug user.
To add insult to injury, Canada has even set up "safe injection centers" to receive people who do not know how to use drugs and assist them in "safe use".
However, there is a prerequisite for these cases that they must be adults, and the Canadian law does not stipulate that drug users must be nationals. As a result, international students, travelers, etc. from other countries may also use drugs legally.
It's hard to imagine that if a country's best students go overseas to study and then become addicted to drugs, it will ruin their future and even their lives.
However, Canada** has a different view. They believe that legalization** can reduce the number of people who break the law for drug use. Now that 5 years have passed, what is the effect of this initiative in Canada**?
What's going on now?
After the legalization of Canada, in the next few days, the enthusiasm of drug users in this country was high, and large-scale group drug use events were held to celebrate the legalization of **.
According to Canadian news reports at the time, due to excessive smoking**, in just two days, car accidents, riots and even violence occurred in many parts of the country.
Canada had thought that legalization would naturally weaken the interests of the gangs, so that they would lose their foothold and thus have a chance to eliminate them in one fell swoop, but the development was completely unexpected.
Because drug users can only buy in legal stores, they need to set up special points of sale, hire employees, pay for transportation costs, etc., and make a profit, so the price of drugs is relatively high.
After the state liberalizes control, black market drugs no longer need to be smuggled, the cost is greatly reduced, and it is more affordable. As a result, drug addicts are more inclined to buy on the black market.
As more and more people realize the lucrative nature of selling**, the number of people involved is increasing. Even some people who were not involved in drugs have become addicted to drugs. After the legalization of recreational use in Canada, drug use has even become a social trend.
Some young people can't stand it, gather together to smoke and drink, indulge to their heart's content, and drug abuse has become a new trend in the social interaction of contemporary Canadian young people.
Although it is true that the number of arrested drug users has decreased, the number of drug users in hospitals is increasing. Some people are taken to the hospital for overdose**, while others suffer from unsatisfying addictions.
Some pregnant women use drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which undoubtedly increases the risk of congenital malformations in newborns. It is self-evident that the significant increase in the number of drug users in Canada has had a negative impact on the next generation.
* Legalization has made recreational drug use as free as smoking, making it impossible for many parents to educate their children to force them not to use drugs. After all, drug use is already allowed by national law, so what position do they have to ask their children to resist?
Why are Western countries gradually deregulating drugs? How does this benefit them?
Longing for freedom. At present, in addition to the United States, the Netherlands, and Canada, many countries and regions around the world have recognized** legalization for entertainment purposes, including Mexico, South Africa, Uruguay, Thailand, etc.
The drugs on the market in these countries are constantly updated and attract attention, and there are even many foods that have been added to "**", which have penetrated into everyone's daily life because drug use is allowed.
For example, during Halloween, some people will give candy adulterated with ** to small children, so that children accidentally ingest drugs without knowing it. In addition, there are also people who will give biscuits, aromatherapy, e-cigarettes, and even cosmetics, massage oil, and other items.
Those traders who make a living from *** make countless profits, while those who are unfortunate enough to become addicted to drugs have to endure painful torture. A drug-infested country is a huge abyss for every innocent person, which can swallow them at any moment.
For example, Western countries believe that legally owning a gun is the same as buying a car, which is the right of every citizen, and as long as you pass the test, you can legally own a gun, just like you can drive with a driver's license.
In the face of the pandemic, we asked for masks and home isolation, but in the eyes of Americans, this is seen as a human rights violation. They resolutely did not wear masks, collectively, and eventually led to the United States reluctantly fully liberalizing control.
The same goes for drugs, some people believe that drug use, like smoking, is a free choice for every adult and that everyone should be responsible for their choices.
The pursuit of freedom and democracy is understandable, but allowing recreational drug use is clearly even more detrimental to society and the country as a whole. There is no doubt that the indulgence of certain countries will ultimately lead to "self-defeating".
All in all. More than 100 years ago, Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen, a historical event that is still recorded in our history books. Now, more than 100 years later, many Western countries seem to be repeating the mistakes of the past by loosening their grip on drugs and voluntarily allowing their citizens to use drugs.
We have been deeply affected by drugs, and we have been cracking down on drugs, and we will never tolerate them in the future. However, it is shocking that European and American countries have adopted the practice of lowering the threshold for drug use, which has caused harm to the next generation.
People who study abroad should choose carefully, cherish life, stay away from drugs, and avoid putting themselves in danger.
Foreign netizens have been praising China's safe environment online, praising the bustle of going out at 10 p.m., whether it is running, walking or going out shopping, there is no need to worry about personal safety.
It can be clearly seen here that the social security situation in some European and American countries is worrying, and the epidemic of drugs will inevitably lead to more social security problems, which is also a challenge that some countries must deal with in the future.
