A question like this ...
Why is it forbidden to use cannabis while it seems he is the least dangerous drugs ? Is only about money?
Here's a question - one might say - is addressed primarily to the physician, psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist at, whatever ... I still
Leaving the social determinism to sociologists, dependence on doctors, the tropism of enjoyment to psychologists, shamanic rituals anthropologists, Dr. Philo-will have to do, like Rabelais, abstractor of straight- gasoline to answer the question of the day.
-> For the philosopher, the drug in all its forms meets a need of a metaphysical nature. It is a quest for the absolute that drives man to overcome its current limitations that its forces "natural" does not allow him to do.
example:
1 - We say that this need for absolute comes from its mortal nature, or the memory that has kept its soul for a paradise lost, whatever. It is to be in another world than this one, climb up over-nature, and it is instructive that religion was the first to make a ritual use of drugs, and also - it also why we want it - to prohibit its use to those who were not initiated.
2 - Often this research is exceeded only concerns the perception that the world becomes another , just to see otherwise. Aldous Huxley has shown beautifully in doors of perception . Besides the need arises, even without the use of drugs, as we see with the whirling dervishes.
3 - Of course our youngsters who smoke their innocent firecracker does not seek to meet God in the face. But they too seek to cross boundaries - those of pleasure: if not, why would they speak of "fun"?
Moreover, the festival is the mechanism of crossing boundaries, and involves the use of drugs in all its forms, starting with alcohol.
-> Can we now answer the question: Why the forbidden , precisely where the threat to health and public order does not weigh?
They say that the addict is more or less an asocial, he ruins his life by neglecting the social determinism. Either, but I think we should rather say that (as stated a bit earlier) users of the drug is one who seeks to transgress the limits . For such a transgression implies that escapes the clutches of power, since moves into another world, one where the enjoyment comes from the substances consumed and not imposed rules of society.
reason to ban the drug - even soft? In the heart of every drug user, there is an anarchist who sleeps.
