drugs: secondary health issues.

Phew! lots of hits for posting on control of drugs. Most just spammers, seizing on the word “drugs”, but some from people concerned with the problem. One aspect that I hadn’t considered is how the suppression of needle users is leading to the spread of HIV and presumably other health problems such as Hepatitis.

I remember reading that TB (once known as consumption, people basically suffocate as their lungs turn cardboard like scar tissue example is possibly Doc Holliday) has come back in a more resistant form because drugees (reference was for those in New York) were entering hospital with pneumonia etc, getting antibiotics, then leaving before the antibiotics (to get a fix) had fully eradicated the TB. This is the sort of thing that leads to the build up of resistance to antibiotics and the stupid situation that we now have with MRSA.

There are possibly other ways that permitting drug control to be left in the hands of “entrepreneurs” is actually damaging/harming the people and Society in general.
