Hello class! my oral presentation i about drugs, and because in Holland it's legal. I have chosen this topis because the social topic is to accept or not accept this difference from the rest of Europe and always leaves some ministers giving his opinion on the subject. Also nowadays there is much movement against snuff. First waht is the drug, secod types of drugs, third the effects, fourth where you can get durgs in Holland and why they are legal in Holland. ¿What is the drug? It's a substance that when it is introduced into our organism causes a psychological change and conduct an it makes the person want to repeat. Classification of the drugs: In the varied classification of the drugs you can find the following: *obtaining drugs is divided into: natural (obtained from nature) or synthetic drugs (obtained from technical means) *agressvnes produced is classified into: hard drugs (physical addiction) or soft drugs (psychological dependence) *the sociologic aspect is divided inot: legal drugs (included in the legal drugs is alcohol, tobacco and chemicals) or illegal drugs (included in the illegal drus is cocaine, cannabis, opio, hallucinogens) *by medical prescription are classified into: lawful (consumed under medical control) or unlawful (consumed without medical control) The different effects of drugs on behaviour: *Euphoric (physical well being and psychological) *Phantastica (halluzinating) *Hypnotics (sleepiness) *Exitantia (stimulates) Where you can get drus in Holland? Do you know? The answer is in the Coffeshops Most tourists go to Amsterdam to search the Coffeshops and they meet in any corner. Only in the capital exists 300 coffeeshops, and in any city we can find them Coffeshops are the places in the cicties, the pubs, where you can buy and somke soft drugs. To go to one of these it is necessary to be only eighteen years old. They only sell soft drugs (cannabis, hatcehs and marihuana). The
culture of the Coffeeshops is widespread, especially in Amsterdam, where we can find, apart from Coffeeshops, Smartshops (where they sell other hallucinogens like mushrooms in Catalan "bolets" or small natural drugs), Growshops (as the materials needed for the cultivation of cannabis) and Headshops (miscellaneous). But it is important to say that in Holland it is not legal drug use, just in coffee shops (and only 5gr for person), and the police control other cities like The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht. There are chains of Coffeeshops, the most famous, the bulldog, which also has its own chain of products: energy drinks, smoking roles... Why they are legal in Holland? It's easy, it is an economic problem. In Holland durgs are legal as a way to stop the drug trade, as well drugs are cheaper and the market is legal. But every person could take a number. They also say that soft drugs, like alcohol and snuff, and fro them would have to be legal. The other countries of Europe, believe that health is more packs are sold. And although legalizing drugs would have an illegal market would sell to minors. Today it is contradictory to accept drug use and try to make people smoke less. In Spain private consumption is legal, but not to sell it. And finally say: remember that for many hours you won't have a clear conscience, you feel no desire to eat or drink, it's better tot be with a friend you can help.
