The war on drugs is a losing battle. And it will be until they are addressing the drug problem in its dual dimension: as an illegal market phenomenon and as a symptom of decay of societies.
Up Now, the efforts of all countries have been aimed at combating drug trafficking. But, like any other commercial phenomenon, drug trafficking, no matter how illegal it is intended, however outlaw it and however you want it to be considered anathema, promptly complies with the laws of the market and that, while guiding our globalized world can not eradicate it.
Drug trafficking is one of the most lucrative businesses on the planet, perhaps the best industry after arms and drugs. Why do you want to fight an industry that produces billions of dollars a year, employs hundreds of thousands of people and, finally, distributes a product which is claimed by millions of consumers?
having regard to the poor results of advertising campaigns - "Say no to drugs" in Mexico as he traced the "Just Say No" to Nancy Reagan, institutes and agencies to fight drug traffickers & # 151; the National Institute to Combat Drugs and Narcotics Directorate-Americans, given the failure of civilian and military response to the above question is that nobody really wants to fight drug trafficking.
Drug trafficking is like vampires: their great power is that nobody believes in them until they fall victim to its allure. Any reference to corruption it produces is rejected by mendacious and dismissed as an attack on the institutions, such as injury to the country, as intentional attack of the eternal enemies.
With the huge profits of the sale of drugs, not hard to imagine what their powers of seduction. The drug buy consciences, silences scruples, establishing loyalties, imposes silence and just dictating her will from the shadows. No one who comes near pristine return.
But is the other side of the drug: its character as a symptom of decay of a society, a refuge of desperate, sewer, would be tempted to say, where they shed and the disappointments and frustrations combine of increasingly larger, more diversified.
If the global market imposes its rules and not allow the eradication of drug trafficking, the ideology that carries with it allows, if not exaltation consumption. The profit quickly and easily pursued in the market translates into instantaneous and fleeting pleasure to be enjoyed with drugs.
Drug trafficking and all its culture are closely interwoven in the consumer society, the market ideology, the mentality of "not traded no-go, the lack of prospects in this new millennium, the notion that and finished the story and there is no nothing to do. This is the network that holds out the vampire and threatens to infect all.
