A dangerous phenomenon that invades American society

I have caught my eye and am surprised by a picture that has been published in most American newspapers. This picture shows a strange and strange view not only of me personally but of Western society as a whole, watching the long queue of the American people eagerly waiting for long hours in front of a shop. Which does not live without the human and can not be dispensed with one day like bread or milk, but exhausted this person himself standing and waiting for and persevering for another need to addicted to it and relied on it entirely, do not straighten his daily life without the acquisition and eating.

Once the cannabis or marijuana sale was officially announced in Nevada for recreational and recreational purposes on July 1, people rushed into the shape of human floods and attacked early in the morning to line up in long, long queues, The miserable situation continued for only a few days until the hashish shelves became empty in these shops and very quickly, and the cannabis was completely destroyed from all the shops and shops.

To meet the needs of people from cannabis, and because of the high demand for this drug, the state of Nevada was forced only two weeks after allowing the sale of marijuana for recreation and entertainment, specifically on July 13 represented by the Nevada Tax Authority to approve the "emergency procedure »To fill this shortage and shortage of cannabis stock and facilitate its transfer to the shops.

Some may say that this is one unique case that has occurred in this state, not a pattern and scene in American society and in its 50 states.

To answer this question, I give you some facts about the reality of cannabis use in the United States. There are currently 28 states in addition to the capital, Washington County, which allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes and for the treatment of patients. And the numbers of states are increasing steadily every year. Moreover, the number of Americans who agree to allow the use of cannabis for medical or recreational purposes is increasing each year.

In the April 20 issue of the Washington Times, 71 percent of Americans agreed to allow cannabis use in general, 83 percent agreed to use it for medical purposes, while 49 percent agreed to use it for personal and recreational purposes. Now in states that allow cannabis to be used for personal purposes, you can see lawnmowers on the streets, as you notice the shops selling cannabis without getting out of your cars, and you buy a hamburger!

On the other hand, in the United States there is addiction to another type of drug that reached the level of "epidemic", such as opium and heroin, scientists, doctors and specialists scream and warn of the spread of this epidemic in American society as a firefighters wildfire. Two articles in The New York Times warned of the epidemic. The first article was published on January 6 this year under the headline "Inside View of the Drug Epidemic: A Scene from the US Opium Addiction Crisis" and the second on January 8, "The Extinction of Opium from the East Coast to the West Coast", and an article on June 22 this year on mass opium of the peoples. Several articles have been confirmed in these articles, including an increase in the number of dead American people because of the use of opium or heroin, especially those who Are under 50 years of age. In 2015, the epidemic of opium killed 33,000 Americans and the death toll in 2016 rose to 59,000 due to overdose. Statistics from the National Center on Drug Use and Health indicate that 1.35 million poor people with income Limited suffering from the epidemic of opium. On July 1, the New York Times published a report on the government's allocation of $ 45 billion to combat addiction in the American society to drugs, particularly opium, and to treat the victims of the epidemic. The same paper also published an investigation on July 13, The birth of children addicted to drugs, namely opium, called "a large tide of newly born children and drug addicts", where he confirmed that from 2003 to 2012 the number of children born with addiction increased fivefold, in the state of Kentucky, on the For example, 15 children Among the thousand children suffer from this situation, and there are now about 2.5 million children under special care for the treatment of the phenomenon of addiction since birth.

Now, after these official statistics and stark facts, does anyone suspect that the American people suffer from the drug epidemic in general and that under such conditions it seems like a drugged people?
