Chapter 21 Section 2 Control people's hearts with drugs

"Manhattan used to be the largest distribution center for drugs in the United States, did you know?" Sam, who suffers from multiple drug abuse disorders and has been in prison many times, said with bright eyes: "In Central Park in the 1970s, people from all over the United States Drug dealers gather together, and countless drugs are transported from here to the whole of the United States every day." "Isn't drug trafficking a serious crime?" "Crime? Let me tell you, drugs are one of the most insidious methods the American government uses to control people's hearts."

"That's an interesting point of yours. Why do you think that drugs are something that the US government distributes on purpose." "Why? Based on my personal experience. Although I was only 16 years old at the time, I was already a well-known drug dealer. I packed marijuana in a sack every morning, and at night, the things in my sack turned Money. Even a 16-year-old kid can become a million-dollar drug dealer, what do you think the government is doing?" "Doesn't the United States claim to be the most democratic country? Why use drugs to control people's hearts?" I asked intentionally.

"Democracy? Didn't you see how much trouble the civil rights and democratic movements made the US government suffer in the 1960s? Now it's all right, because the common people are addicted to drugs, who has the heart to go against the government?" Sam's point of view is logical Totally defensible.Sam's point of view is not a completely unbelievable grotesque if one looks at how sinister the political inside story has been in human history. "If I tell you, you won't believe it. In American prisons, if you want to take drugs, you can still get them." Sam seemed to want to tear the skin of America in front of me, telling me all these people unbelievable thing.

"In prison, how is that possible?" "As long as you have money, what is impossible? Drugs are money." Sam's words reminded me of the TV series of the Qing Dynasty that are currently popular in China. Whenever there is anything related to the prison, I have to ask the prison boss to clear it up. The first ones are corrupt officials.Hearing that those American prison bosses who have a different skin color from the Chinese may be doing the same thing as their Chinese counterparts a hundred years ago, this reminds people of the commonality of human nature. "You mean in prison, you can take drugs openly?"

"It's not public, the cell boss's face has to be given. You just need to smoke in private." "Then let me ask you, is there any beating or killing in the prison?" "Even taking drugs. Of course, beatings and killings are commonplace. There are often fights in the prison, and it is even more common for people to be stabbed." "The prisoner can actually get a dagger?" I was a little surprised when I heard that. "It doesn't have to be a dagger, anyway, as long as it is sharp, it can stab people." "In this way, isn't it very unsafe in prison?"

"That's right, the prisoner has a gang organization in the prison. Once you are in prison, you have to worship the pier and join the gang. Only in this way can you have friends to protect you." "So, you guys still fight in groups?" "Of course, if there is any conflict between the two associations, since you are a member, you must fight." "I often hear American congressmen accuse China of using prisoners' cheap labor to produce department stores and dump them in the United States. I don't know how much American prisoners earn from work?" Since I have the opportunity to learn about the inside story of American prisons, I naturally want to know more.

"Hey, the U.S. government only knows to manage other people's affairs. In fact, American prisons also exploit prisoners. My income in prison is 20 cents an hour, which is dozens of times worse than the minimum hourly wage stipulated by the U.S. government. .” Sam proudly told me the inside story of American prisons.Later, I also deliberately checked other patients who had been in prison, and knew that everything Sam said was true. What Sam told me was only superficial phenomena, and outsiders didn't know what was going on about the political inside story behind the phenomenon.But most of the people who know what's going on won't and dare not talk nonsense.Whether the drug in the United States is an ecstasy deliberately released by the US government, we don't know.But judging from the fact that drugs can be bought in any corner of the United States, the degree of control of drugs by the US government is really suspicious.

I have also heard another version.The U.S. government initially intentionally placed drugs in the African-American and Hispanic communities, making African-Americans and Hispanics addicted to drugs, in order to eliminate the attention and pursuit of civil rights of minorities.It was only later that white people also began to take drugs, and the government realized the seriousness of the problem and wanted to control drugs, but it was too late.This type of folk speculation that the US government is involved in drugs may not be credible, but it naturally projects the public's hostility and distrust of the government.

sir police please arrest me Nine out of ten of my drug addict patients have been in jail, because the income of ordinary people is completely unable to pay the huge cost of drugs, so stealing and robbery naturally become a means. Pol was a quiet gentleman with a constant smile.One day I asked him, "Drugs are expensive, how do you pay for them?" "I steal it." Pohl flashed his trademark smile. "You are so quiet, can you steal?" I said involuntarily. "As long as you are addicted to drugs, you can be quiet and dare to kill." Bohr continued: "My friends and I mainly steal office buildings. It is very convenient to enter the building, and enter from the place where the air conditioner is placed."

I will do this too.When I was in Chicago, I often forgot to bring the key, and the way to enter the door was to move the air conditioner.My landlord Liang Tai kindly reminded me that if I do this, the thieves will see it, and it will be miserable to follow suit in the future.Interestingly, a few days later, Mrs. Liang also forgot to bring the key. She was really smart and removed the air conditioner in front of my window and transferred it from my house to hers. Ball told me that almost every office building can get money, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.Although he succeeded every time, and the money he got was used to buy drugs, Ball still felt extremely empty and anxious.Finally, one day he and his friend had a heated debate on whether to surrender to the police on a street corner. Ball insisted that he should surrender to the police, but his friend firmly opposed it.Two young people were arguing loudly on such a sensitive topic on a street corner, completely ignoring the reactions of others.A few minutes later, suddenly a large number of police cars appeared around them, and the argument between Pohl and his friend ended naturally.

"Do you know the real reason why I want to get caught by the police?" Pohl looked at me with a grin. "You want to quit drugs?" "By the way, I'm tired of drugs, but I don't have the strength to quit it by myself, so I want to ask the police for help. I think prison should be the best place to quit drugs." Since I had heard the truth about the prison, I knew that Pohl would tell me his disappointment.Sure enough, he said to me: "Unexpectedly, there are more drugs in the prison. This is really a big joke. I want to quit drugs, but I went to the wrong place." American society advocates freedom and the law, but under the sacred cloak of freedom and law, the freedom of drug use is rampant everywhere, and the dignity of the law cannot resist the infiltration of drugs. Drugs have a profound and far-reaching impact on American society.The absurdity of certain behaviors of Americans can only be corrected if we understand it from the perspective of drugs.Drugs are closely related to violence and crime, and drugs also destroy poor human nature.
