COVID PANDEMIC AND DRUGS

COVID AND DRUGS

IMPOSSIBLE?

IS IT TOMORROW OR AT THE END OF TIME?

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU

IN THE YEARS 2010-2019 THE NUMBER OF DRUG USERS GREW BY 22 PERCENT.

IN 2019 ABOUT 200 MILLION PEOPLE USED CANNABIS (4 PERCENT OF THE WORLD POPULATION).

IT MEANS THE INCREASE BY ABOUT 20 PERCENT IN THE LAST DECADE.

IN 2019 ABOUT 20 MILLION PEOPLE USED COCAINE.

IN 2019 IN THE US ONLY, ABOUT 50,000 PEOPLE DIED FROM OPIOID OVERDOSES.

IT IS OVER TWO TIMES MORE THAN IN 2010.

WHY?

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT REASONS

BUT

AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE HAD TO BATTLE EXTREME POVERTY.

THE RESULT OF MASSIVE SOCIAL INEQUALITIES, WHICH ARE PERSISTENT AND GROWING.

EMPLOYEES OF THE WORLD LOST 255 MILLION JOBS IN 2020.

HELPLESS GOVERNMENTS AND MEDICAL SERVICES ALSO CAUSED DRAMATIC INCREASE OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR, SEE NO FUTURE AND ARE LEFT FOR DEAD BY POLITICIANS, HAVE A TENDENCY TO SEEK AN ESCAPE.

THE EASIEST WAY TO "ESCAPE" IS ADDICTION.

AND WHEN YOU DIE, GANGSTERS GET RICHER AND STRONGER.

DRUGS SOLD THROUGH THE INTERNET ARE WORTH $315 MILLION A YEAR.
