Drug is in the Air: Sweet air of Europe's party capital

Spanish police have seized more than a tonne of cocaine in two separate raids. The hauls, which were being smuggled from South America, had a total street value of more than 50 million dollars. The country's demand for recreational drugs is now the highest in Europe - a statistic that the Spanish authorities are struggling to reverse. And as the drug culture expands, alarm bells are starting to ring, as Igor Ogorodnev reports.

Cocaine is bad for you.

Smoke weed.

there's one line (...) a guy says:

Everyone is responsible for their health and consumption.

Who the fuck is the government restricting my consumption of hamburgers?

You might think they are not dangerous - well, look at all the fat monsters creeping along the streets in western societies.

My body - my responsibility. You want to be FAT, so be it.

I want some THC, so be it? OOOOOOH, now THAT'S too fuckink dangerous. For whom? For the government, i suppose.

Smoking of any kind causes lung cancer.

@anilraj420 Money can be put into re-education or whatever other govt. schemes (Of course this will never happen with out "liberal" Marxist governments - only green or nationalist Libertarian ones would allow this). There are levels of use and control for usesers, but yes I agree - drugs like Crack/Meth are antithesis to "control" - if it were researched however, it was ALOT cheaper, comedown pills? As I say, most would NOT use even if we had de-criminalisation given the right government.

@anilraj420 Holland is evidence of this - I lived there, you speak to most youngers and they don't even touch cannabis though it is widely available.. Decriminalise - take power away from the drug dealers (i.e. be honest the government brings this shit in anyway/turns a blind eye), they can then tax sale of drugs in controlled environments, help at hand, clean paraphinalia etc.

@anilraj420 I have seen entire communities, tight knit, patriotic, British communities turn into slums in ten years after the streets were flooded with heroin. Most men are dead, in jail, on the dole - NONE of them think about politics anymore. Of course, another co-incidence.. This kind of focused, targetted destruction of communities has to stop - there needs to be far more education on the matters and lets face it - if you CAN do something, if its bad for you, chance are you wont..

@anilraj420 Controlled legalisation/decriminalisation is no bad thing IMO.. The fact is, drugs are not going away - certainly not in our uber-liberal societies nowadays. It will never happen. The war on drugs is itself a bust - its quite obvious that since the US/UK has been in control of Afghanistan we see a vast increase in heroin production. Some odd coincidence? I don't think so - look at past CIA activities..

[yolovema]

cocaine is for the perverts qui n'arrivent plus à bander !!!

[MrPeiceofmind666]

now i wanna go to spain. drugs are kinda legal there thats awesome

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Well, you seem a little out of control. Been hittin' the pipe lately?

[anilraj420]

your dumbass show me a meth or crack head that is in control u stupid as fuck and yeah just give drugs away for free everywhere ..i wish people would give weed away

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Ok then, how about we give it to everyone except for people, like you, who can't control themselves?
