Marijuana - the inner peace for youth

                                    
                            Marijuana - the inner peace for youth
Nothing intrigued and fascinated me more than the music and drug culture of 1960’s. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles were nothing less than gods to masses. Spending my teenage listening to these musicians brought the urge to try the drugs as well. Was it LSD and the hallucinogens behind the genius of their music or were they really that gifted was the question that baffled me.


At last I succumbed to this desire of trying Marijuana. A night out with friends was chosen as the ideal time to do it. My friend who had a history of drug abuse boasted that he had scored Afghani marijuana for me and promised it will be an amazing experience. We smoked up and it actually was quite a potent drug, within minutes I felt light headed and really started enjoying myself. Well, I guess at that moment, the tingling voice in my head said " Marijuana is the inner peace for youth ".  Anyways, besides that I found out that getting weed smell out of room was another huge problem that I had to deal with!

But then it started growing on, I could feel that my reflexes were slowing down and my heart beating slower than ever. Things got worse when I got intothe “still phase”, I could hear my friends making jokes and picking on me but Icouldn’t answer them or even move a muscle. Thirst stabbed its pangs in my throat; it felt so parched that even breathing was made difficult. I wanted to scream out to my friends to give me water or jolt me out of this paralyses but thewords just won’t come out. This is when panic overtook me; my mind was numbed by a torrent of thoughts, guilt, fear and anxiety. This grew until I erupted into a fit of nausea and spewed out on the floor. The thing that shook me the most was the attitude of my friends, they hardly made a move to comfort me orhelp me up, and they kept on enjoying their buzz.

The experience left me pondering that is the “high” of drugs worth it when you eventually end up on the floor.

Pet Abuse


Pet Abuse and Animal Cruelty


Belonging to a household, in which pets have always considered to be a part of the family, I, myself have been fond of most animals since a very young age. While other kids my age would refrain from going near a dog, I would never hesitate to play with any pet dog I came across. In my eyes any form of animal cruelty is a crime which includes pet abuse. As humans, prevention of animal cruelty should be an inborn instinct and that's why I've decided to raise this important issue.



However, it greatly disappoints me to see and know that most people do not share such feelings of  sympathy, care, warmth or concern towards animals. These 'animals' may include cats, dogs, horses, donkeys or any animal in the zoo for that matter. There have been innumerable cases of dog cruelty in Western countries and many of Muslim countries. People beat up the poor innocent animals. This fact truly perplexes me and i fail to understand why we have to be so hostile towards these creatures. It disappoints me to see that apart from some of the citizens of my country, most people view these animals only as a means of entertainment. Some even go to the extent of demonstrating their hatred towards these poor animals.



Stop Animal Cruelty

I, as an individual would go to any extent to put a stop to animal cruelty. Even though it may seem to be a trivial matter to most people, it carries great weight in my perspective. I believe that we, being somewhat educated, must put a stop to this or at least try to do what we can, to stop those who indulge in something so heinous. 
I do not expect people to open animal shelters or do anything extravagant of the sort....but PLEASE : the least we can do is stop others around us who harm these harmless beings. It is only fair. Even though one can not be sued for mistreating an animal, one must at least be humane enough to consider the fact that these poor animals can't speak, they do not have minds as gifted as humans and one can only expect them to behave in a certain way. It is not right to take out our frustrations on them.
It is government's responsibility to introduce strict laws that prohibit any kind of animal abuse. It is also our responsibility to root out the shameful act of pet cruelty out of our society. So please, I request you all, the next time you see a person throw stones at a dog, scare a cat, donkeys or horses being whipped mercilessly: Get out of you car and tell them to STOP! The least we can do is educate these people and make them understand that animal cruelty is a crime and even though there might be no written law against animal cruelty, our religion itself condemns the mistreatment of animals. The least they can do is abide by what our religion teaches us and the law of the country, if nothing else!


Pet Abuse is a Sin

The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: 'It is a great sin for man to imprison those animals which are in his power'(Muslim)All creatures on earth are sentient beings. "There is not an animal on earth, nor a bird that flies on its wings - but they are communities like you.The Quran, 6:38The Holy Prophet (S) forbade the setting up of animals to fight against each other.Abu Dawud and Tirmidh
Take an initiative, let join hands and work towards prevention of animal cruelty. Say NO to Pet Abuse!

Do you think that all drugs are medicines? There are two classifications of drugs; prohibited and legal drugs. The legal drugs are medicines that are prescribed by the doctor and over the counter medicines. The prohibited drugs are medicines that you cannot buy without the prescription of the doctor.

Now days, many people were addicted to the prohibited drugs. Some of them were influenced by their friends or people mingle around them. Youth is one of the people that get addicted to prohibited drugs. Because some of them have problems with their family. They use it to forget the shame and cover the pain they felt. Youth were curious of the things around them, like drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. But all of them won’t help people especially youth. The youth must have knowledge about the prohibited drugs. It can affect their studies and personal life. It can also affect the person mentally and emotionally. Using drugs can make a person use the wrong path.

The Youth can contribute for the progress of our country. So help them to prevent on using prohibited drugs.
