Chile, drug and change on the law drug

Just like every other country in South America, chile battles with the traffic drug and addiction.  But the manufacturing not take the place in the country, this takes place across the borders in Bolivia or Peru or up the coast a little ways in Colombia, mainly opioids, marijuana and cocaine.


Students also have a tendency to abuse the highly toxic and addictive coca paste, with about 3 percent of all students admitting they were using this drug. The cocaine paste generates an instant addiction, this is different to marijuana and other opioids.

for the case of marijuana, is used by many Chileans of different age and with different objectives. In the last few years, the change in the drug law, generated many debates, mainly for the new classification of the marijuana. for the drug law, the marijuana is a dangerous drug.

The national drug control agency of Chile justified this move by stating that 70 percent of people who entered treatment for drug addiction had started their drug use with marijuana. The director of that agency also reported that one third of the 7,000 people treated for drug addiction each year come in for marijuana abuse. Of those who abuse cannabis, 21 percent in Chile are diagnosed as being dependent on the drug, making it a highly problematic drug.

In all, 7 percent of Chileans report having used the drug in 2006, an increase over earlier years. Of South American countries, Chile has the second-highest cannabis usage figure, following Argentina.


In the actuality, the law classified to consumers as offenders, this is wrong. The consumers of drug, should be helped if they come into an addiction that affects their health or welfare, and not punished.

i hope a change in the law, where it is understood that the problem corresponds to a health problem and not crime.

Have you ever been really scared?

This time, I going to talk about a really unusual experience. In my first year In this university, I had a strange accident.

I was traveling as usual to university, with the metro full of people, from Ecuador to Catolica station. when I get a Los Heroes, A strange feeling that I never had invaded, between fear and suffocation, had the urgent need to get off the subway, I am opened through the crowd to exit the train.

When getting off the subway, the feeling did not disappear, I remember walking blindly toward the wall, away from the platform. Leaning against the wall, I see a girl looking at me from inside the train, in this time my vision blurs and everything goes black. I hear screams in the distance and I feel my life run away of my hand.

I woke up on the floor, the first thing I saw were my hands spattered with blood and a large pool of blood stretched beneath my head. I tried to remember what happened but the last memory I had was that of the girl looking at me from the train and then everything went dark.
 

I was taken on a stretcher to a safe place. Although I have not clear that was what happened that day, for the doctors, had a seizure that culminated in something they call psychomotor automatism. In a few words, I walked unconscious toward the platform and the next train hit me.

That is one of the most bizarre and terrifying experience I went through. I hope that does not happen again.
