Today, during lunch, we have spoken about the use and abuse of drugs, and some people were in favour of a "controlled" use of some drugs, such as marijuana or cocaine. I do not pretend to talk in depth about this issue nor to give a magic solution to such a problem in our society nowadays. Please consider that when I say drugs I mean also alcohol and tobacco (the only difference with the other is that these ones are taxed).
Let me tell you my personal experience. Two of my cousins have serious problems with drugs (that is to say, they are hooked) and therefore I have seen too much pain and conflict in my family. As I have witnessed the "side effects" of drugs, I prefer not to take the minimum risk of falling into the abyss as my cousins did, because I do not think I am more intelligent or careful or whatever than them, and if they have got hooked, I see no reason why I could not get hooked too. It is not only that I would destroy my life (that is not so important; after all I am responsible of what happens to me), I would also destroy the life of my most beloved.
