A world free of drug abuse? The UN must keep trying.
For six decades, the world community has signed a string of treaties aimed at curbing the production, trafficking, and use of illict drugs. But this consensus has lately become fractured, mainly over the failure of a few Latin American countries to crack down on drug cartels. This week, the United Nations hopes to rebuild this consensus by holding a special assembly on the topic. It is important the UN maintain a global effort for what clearly remains a transnational problem.
Well yes the $trillion New World Order (NWO) slush fund must be kept functioning. For the sake of the NWO and the banks that depend on it. Like the HSBC Bank.
Formerly known as Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corporation, HSBC has served as the world’s #1 drug money laundry since its inception as a repository for British Crown opium proceeds accrued during the Chinese Opium Wars. During the Vietnam War HSBC laundered CIA heroin proceeds.
Well enough of money-politics. How about some science?
People in chronic pain chronically take pain relievers.
According to Dr. Lonny Shavelson 70% of female heroin users were sexually molested in childhood. – So the pain is PTSD.
When the pain goes away (enough) people stop using.
In addition PTSD is genetic. To activate it you need trauma. About 20% of the population has the genetics. Most people have zero risk of “addiction”. Not very scary is it?

Also, given free access to opiates most so called addicts reduce consumption to a maintenance dose, and remain functional enough to hold jobs and such.
A small percentage, very small, will be out of control addicts. Really, so what? Most of these people would have been losers anyway. Legal opiates would be dirt cheap. Heroin isn’t much more difficult to produce than sugar[1] on an industrial, legal scale. None of this $200 a day habit nonsense, more like $9.95, easily acquired from begging, casual work, whatever.
[1] and probably healthier.
Any objective definition for “abuse”? How do they tell the difference between abuse and legitimate use?
Other than “if it can be pleasant to use it must be a drug of abuse. QED. honk honk”
Thought experiment:
Opiates function by filling the same nerve receptors as endorphins. What of it were possible to consciously release endorphins through some sort of zen yoga mental discipline practice? Get high as a kite just by meditating! Are they going to ban that?
I prefer getting my opiates through frequent sex.
