ÌÉ               DRUGS
Ê------------------------------------
ÈËByÉ Honkong of Skyway

ÈThis is ment as a kind of comment on
the  É "Tobbaco  -  the  first  drug"
Èarticle in R.A.W.  II.  First of all
we have to find out...Éwhat are DRUGS
actually ?È

Drugs are all the things people eat,
drink,  smoke  or  inject.  Cola for
example is also a drug.É  "Naaah, you
don't  get dependent on Cola ?"È Well
ofcourse  you  do  !   Take  me  for
example.   My favourite drink (apart
from  beer)  is  Cola.   I  drink it
almost  everyday.   So I'm dependent
on  Cola  !  That's not as dangerous
as  beeing  dependent  on  Heroin or
Crack  or  so,  but  if  I am out of
Cola,  I  really get nervous and I'm
looking for something to replace it,
but  nothing is good enough.  I take
a glass of milk, for example, but it
doesn't  satisfy  me.  It's the same
with  beer,  cigarettes  and cocain,
heroin,   crack   etc.    The   only
difference  is,  that  you  can  get
serious  damages  from  those  other
goods, if you take too much of them.
At  least, it's not proved that cola
is  bad  for your brains or so.  But
why  do  people start with drugs and
cannot stop it any- more ?

ÉFor  example  :È  Some 14 old kids on
my  school are starting with smoking
filter-cigarettes.   They  go to the
toilets  and  smoke  one  cigarette,
come  out  again  and tell everybody
how  cool it is to smoke cigarettes.
That's  normal,  everybody of us has
had  those  times when he/she wanted
to  be different and cool.  But some
of those kids want to be cooler than
others,      they     start     real
competitions,  who  is able to smoke
20  cigarettes  a day, who can do 30
etc.   At  the  end  they are really
dependent  on  cigarettes.  One day,
when  they  have  reached the age of
15½ or sometimes younger, they start
boozing  and  it's  the same as with
the   cigarettes.    The   more  the
better,  they think !  Now some kids
will  begin  to  think,  why  are we
doing  this  ?   They  try  to  stop
smoking  and  boozing and if they've
got  a  strong  mind, they will come
over  it.   Maybe  some of them will
drink one or two beers on a party or
smoke a cigarette

ÊBUT  THEY  KNOW  WHEN  IT'S  TIME TO
STOP.
È
ÉThat's the whole point. È Some people
just  don't  realize  what  they are
actually  doing.  I have never tried
ecstasy, grass or shit like that, so
I  cannot  give  my opinion on that,
but  I think when your mind is still
clear  and  you realize what you are
doing, you will be able to stop it !
ÉI  HAVEN'T  WRITTEN  THIS ARTICLE TO
FORCE  YOU ALL TO TRY GRASSÈ or so, I
just  want  to tell you, how I think
the  whole situation is.  I regulary
drink  my  beers  on  a  party and I
sometimes     even     smoke    some
cigarettes,  but  I know when I have
to  stop  !   This might sound a bit
stupid,  but  find  it out for your-
self.    Ofcourse  it's  fun  to  be
drunk,  but if you only feel OK when
you  are  drunk,  you're  doing  the
wrong  thing.   If  you  can drink a
beer  and  then  wait 2 months until
you drink another one without having
bad feelings it's all right.

Ê        KNOW YOUR LIMITS ! 

ÉThat's  what  it  wanted to say with
this article.
È
Maybe some people think that this is
absolute  crap and that I don't have
the  foggiest  idea  what  it is all
about,  then  let me know !  I would
be very pleased to see any reactions
on  this article in another issue of
R.A.W
