About drugs

Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Teacher, I’d like bring you my opinion about drugs in our society:

There are modern people in this modern world. Smoking, drinking alcohol or use the other drugs are in. Is this in because are they prohibited or because they are so Cool and great? It’s a very interesting question.

Smoking and drinking alcohol is prohibited until 18 years, but when you come into the pubs, there are a lot of young people under 18, who there are as at home :-) Why is it? Because it brings to people subjective freedom and “light minds” and people are losing prevents. Can it be changed? I think it is bad site of growing up and in this time it’s impossible. But why are people starting or continuing with using these permitted drugs in adult age? In this quick time it’s reason for slowing down and relaxing.
But there aren’t only permitted drugs, which use people. They often smoke a marihuana (in Czech slang tráva, travička, zelí, Mary Jane and etc.). In USA it was prohibited in 1937. It came from plant konopí (in Latin Cannabis Sativa) and for smoking they are used dry leafs and flowers (in slang šišky). Until 1937 it was used in USA as weak sedative. Word marihuana probably came from Mexican slang. Scientist’s studies proved that smoke from cigarettes is more dangerous than from marihuana. It’s among a few drugs which aren’t addictive.
Other very used drugs are for example ecstasy, pervitin, cocaine and heroin.
Ecstasy alias XTC, E, Madam X. MDMA (MetylenDyoxyMetylAmfetamin) is drug used as pills of different colors main on dance parties. It came from USA, where it made for the first time in 1913 as slimming pills. It was prohibited in 1985 and after that it came into the Europe through discotheques in Great Britain. As same as marihuana it isn’t addictive.
But there are addictive drugs as cocaine or heroin.
Cocaine is by its cost drug for higher layers of people. It isn’t as addictive as pervitin, but by its effects it is creating physic addictive. They are some sorts of cocaine by quality. The best is blue cocaine, normal cocaine is white and the worst cocaine is brawn. Users of this drug were for example Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria or Sigmund Freud.
One of the most dangerous drugs except marihuana is pervitin alias methamphetamine and heroin. Pervitin is white powder created from amphetamine of ephedrine. This drug is very addictive.
Heroin is created from morphine and it has similar effect as morphine, but it’s more quickly, more intensive and more destructive. It’s applicated into the vein.
It was probably the most known drugs you know, but do you know drug is too hops, dill, juniper, cinnamon, bay-leaf, nutmeg, pepper, marjoram and etc?

Some drugs are in little quantity remedy, but combination with other drugs may be poison. Not all drugs are really dangerous and not all laws are good so if you sometime heart word drug, please think about this: The drug is everything, what brings you good feeling, of course with exaggeration.

That’s all. I’m glad you were so attentive listeners.
