Synthetic Drugs and Narconon Objectives

Wednesday, 29 August 2012 15:51

Designer drugs are drugs that do not contain any illegal chemicals within them and are made to mimic the effects of drugs that are illegal. Designer drugs first began to be sold in the 1920s after morphine was made illegal. The term designer drugs was not coined until the 1980s, however. Designer drugs are usually sold on what is known as the gray market. They are usually labeled under various household product names such as plant food, window cleaner, toilet cleaner and a variety of others. Designer drugs are usually similar in their chemical makeup to other drugs that are sold on the black market; they usually chemically very from their illegal counterparts just enough to render them legal. Some designer drugs however, are chemically very different from their illegal counterparts but cause effects that are very similar.

People who use these drugs do so because they want to get high and avoid the legal recourse that is associated with illegal drug. Usually these drugs are undetectable through urine screening and blood screenings that are available at this time. For a long time not much was said in the media about designer drugs because they were not that much of an issue. Recently, however, the use of designer drugs has gained a lot of popularity. While there are many designer drugs that are available these days, there are two main ones that are receiving a lot of public notice.

The Narconon Program; the Tools for a New Life

The Narconon program was started by a man named Willy Benitez. Willy was a narcotics addict who had struggled with addiction for much of his life. Willie started using drugs at the age of 12. One day Willie was walking with his friends on the way to a baseball game when the group was approached by an older teen who offered to smoke marijuana with them. All of them got scared and, except for Willie, ran away. However the older kid taunted Willie saying “You want to fly, you want to fly like a bird? Come on Willie I know your hip." Willie said that he really looked up to the guy; he had the nicest shoes, a car and a lot of girlfriends. So Willie smoked weed with him. At first Willie thought to himself that he would only smoke pot on the weekends or at parties. But gradually his drug use increased and by the time he was 15 he was ready to try stronger drugs because pot was not doing it for him anymore.

At this point Willie began injecting narcotics, an addiction he suffered from for many years. Willie said that he lost a lot due to his drug use; many jobs and a couple of marriages. Willie also spent a lot of time in and out of prison due to drug-related crimes.

The last time that Willie was arrested, he was determined that he was going to find a way to become freed from his addiction. He told the judge as much when he went before him for sentencing. Whether it was because the judge believed him, or because it was near Christmas time, the judge sentenced him to the least amount of time that was necessary for the crime that he committed.

Narconon Program Discusses Addiction; Disease or Disability?

Monday, 14 May 2012 18:26

Humans have suffered from addiction since it was first discovered that there were certain plants that could cause intoxication when ingested. People who are unable to control the amount of intoxicating substances that they take are often subject to ridicule and judgment from those around them that just do not understand. There is hardly a person out there that would, in their mind, prefer to be dependent upon a mind-altering substance to simply get through their day. The reason for addiction has been researched plenty, especially in the last century, yet the source of addiction remains unknown to many. Is addiction a disease, a genetic mutation that only some people carry, that is activated upon someone trying whatever drug they are destined to become addicted to? Or are addict’s simply selfish people who don’t care at all about other people who only wish to fulfill their own desires, no matter the cost?
