Voting deadline: January 2174
Description[?]:
| It has been proven that recreational drugs have a destructive effect on the productivity, effeciency, social life and mentality of the avarage worker. This is because it causes addiction and in extreme cases will render the addict as what can be described as "a former shell of humanity" or as a "vegetable" with no desire to work, no desire to seek the betterment of theirselves or their surroundings, no care for his family or friends, in short dead but yet with a whisper of something enough to describe him as physically alive similar to a state of coma. It is sad that most of those who are lean towards drugs are the young, those who are at one moment are rising stars in their proud nation fuelled by immense potential are, in one injection, burned out the potential gone, murdered and replaced by nothing but pure desire for only one thing: more. |
