In today’s celebrity and far left fuelled world, where being anti drugs is sure to mark you as being hopelessly uncool, or even politically incorrect, is there any wonder, as to the continued high number of deaths due to drug overdoses?
On Netflix, television, movies, and music, drugs are universally portrayed as being normal and cool, drug dealers are portrayed as cool and heroes, and drug use as an increasingly normal part of life. This is coupled with celebrities, who don’t try to hide their drug use and portray it as also beneficial, cool and normal. Far left celebrities and activists are even trying to portray drugs these days as being healing and magical, politically correct; completely harmless, something everyone, including children, should try.
Life destroying addiction and overdose deaths aren’t magical, beneficial, cool, normal or politically correct, and they happen alot in the real world. I don’t think it’s unfair to say the Generation X/millennial, celebrity and media’s love affair with drugs is killing people: our children, parents, partners, and friends. I don’t fully blame anyone, as it’s really just ignorance created by far left propaganda and pressure, and the fact there’s no opposing, anti drug opinion coming from celebrities, in mainstream media, social media or entertainment these days. Its just sad and disturbing, and I do hope these groups will soon see the light, and reality of what drug normalization and coolification does to real people, their families and lives.
Its time humanity began to grow up and start taking the parental role in life, instead of a forever young role of social drug pushers and killers of the young, mentally ill and vulnerable. Think of that this Christmas, and of the thousands who will be spending the holidays, without their loved ones, killed by recreational drugs.
Truthfully, drugs aren’t what happy healthy cultures, youths and adults do, and its time we began raising and creating these, instead of victims of recreational drugs, and our culture’s ignorant, immature attitudes towards them.
I do support decriminalization of drugs as I don’t believe the law alone can win this battle. Its more than a criminal issue, its a health and mental health issue, and an issue of what our culture and its values, sense of responsibility, has become. I think its fair to say western cultural decline can be marked with the parallel rise of recreational drug use and sales and the politics and attitudes that support it.
Decriminalization of drug use, fines and treatment options instead of jail, controlled legalization of pot, medicinal pot, supervised injection sites, and increased awareness and treatment of mental health issues are ideas and programs that possibly can help. And most helpful? People thinking a little bit more about what their opinions and entertainment choices are costing our culture, and teaching our children.
People are dying because of our cultural attitudes towards drugs. This holiday season, lets light a candle for them, and begin culturally to say no again, to recreational drugs, drug culture, and the toll they take on innocent, civilized, progressive and productive lives and life.
