parliamentarians and U.S. models and fentanyl: 500 dead and rising surge

For a change, the epidemic of deaths by heroin adulterated with fentanyl that takes place in the U.S. since late 2005, is going quite unnoticed in the national media. And no laughing matter. It is estimated that around 500 people have died in northern Iraq because of this, especially in Chicago, for less than a year. Nora Volkow, director of NIDA's compassionate, it is clear who are the culprits: the addicts themselves.

"" Many addicts are unaware of the composition of what they buy on the street. However, others deliberately seek this mixture to undergo a greater sense of pleasure when 'put', "says Volkow NIDA's web." "Tango and Cash

: an analgesic murderer

Everyone knows that the desire for pleasure drug addicts will stop at nothing. The funny thing is that, across the Atlantic in a small country surrounded by mountains called Switzerland, the implementation of other drug policy is producing diametrically opposite results among opiate injectors and no one has seen the fentanyl for those payments.

"The study shows in particular that both researchers in the canton of Zurich - where more than 20% of addicts-850 Swiss people had fallen into heroin dependence in 1990, and the number dropped to 150 in 2002.

Other countries, starting with those who bet on an enforcement policy, did not achieve a similar decline. England and Australia reported, including an increase during the same period. In Italy, there were strong fluctuations from one year to another. But Zurich researchers consider data from Italy are incomplete.

"In Switzerland, the action of granting a medical nature of heroin use has certainly helped change the image of users: from rebels were losers. In the eyes of young people are forced to turn patients to medical treatments, "says Carlos Nordt."

Heroin: the Swiss model creates school abroad

a novelty, that of treating heroin addicts as people instead of sending them to slaughter. No wonder it is the Swiss model, not the U.S., which is creating a school. In Spain, however, the socialist government takes cognizance and claims (against all evidence) that more testing is needed. Do not say the same thing in opposition but on the contrary:

"The head of the department came at the request PP, to give his opinion on the motion of the Senate demanded a trial on heroin in Euskadi. His speech began with a review of parliamentary initiatives on this issue since 1999, with emphasis on a proposal by the PSE in 2004 urged the PP Executive to approve the therapeutic use of heroin. "They change their opinion depending on who governs, we lack the courage to say yes or no, accused the Socialists."

Maybe four overdose deaths that have occurred in Bilbao last month August help our political leaders to pluck the daisy. The clock is ticking and people die, Mrs. Salgado.

calls for legalization

First came the FARC, who last September 9 flatly denied direct involvement in drug trafficking and called for the legalization of drugs globally as the only way to solve the problem. The truth is that very few traffickers have been shown to favor a measure that would drastically reduce their income. You remember, the only proposal in this regard came from the father of Pablo Escobar, many years ago.

face intoxication campaigns allotted narcoguerrilla (see origin of the term in the left frame) the lion's share in the business of drug trafficking in Colombia, independent analysts generally agree that the FARC are limited to collect a tax on farmers in their areas control. However, it is no secret-although not give intoxicants aware "that the paramilitaries have taken forever to grow, process and distribute vast amounts of coca and cocaine, while his favorite President (Alvaro Uribe), no only far away from legalizing whim, but has repeatedly tried to push through the criminalization of mere consumption, fortunately without success to date.

FARC's proposal would be a pretty resounding proof that their relationship with large-scale drug trafficking exists only in the deluded minds of their opponents. Indeed, this news has been muted by most major media, as well as the various reports that indicate strong links and aged between current president of Colombia and the drug traffickers. It is possible that these media do not consider the Military Intelligence Service of the U.S. as a reliable source.

More media coverage has won the recent ruling in favor of legalizing Guatemalan Vice President Eduardo Stein, during the XIV Summit of the Non-Aligned:

"" The prohibition of liquor for 60 or 70 years was an experience that illustrated how a society reacts developed and resourced to a ban of this nature, and we are experiencing a very similar cycle, "Stein said when asked about the legalization of the coca leaf, given by the Bolivian president, Evo Morales, during his recent visit to Guatemala.

"The only way to solve this problem is to legalize drug use, manage and regulate its medical use and putting all the safeguards and controls for prevention are needed, "he added."

Eduardo Stein, drug legalization advocates

And is that Guatemala is facing a number of years the serious problem of conversion of former members of death squads in drug hitmen, an activity that have contributed to robust methods:

"The beheadings are a way to terrorize and destroy the enemy, and which are a form imported with the addition of the Mara Salvatrucha and the Kaibiles, as the killers of the various posters. The Kaibiles, the elite counter in the civil war in Guatemala, used to behead the alleged guerrillas and displaying their heads at the entrance to the villages to terrorize the natives and make clear who was boss. "

Metastasis of narco

As mentioned in a previous post, 1,300 drug-related murders so far this year in Mexico go far beyond all that occurred in gang wars for control of the alcohol business for thirteen years of Prohibition in the U.S. . Stein course falls far short when comparing that situation to today. I wonder when will the UN to account for the carnage in the should of its drug policy.
