Я тут послушал Медведева про его войну с...

I listened to Medvedev about his war on drug addiction. I decided to find simple statistics - mortality. It turned out to be not so simple. On the ROSSTAT website there is no information on mortality in narcology. In general, finding such information is not an easy task. I looked at many sites, google for more than two hours. Everyone writes that 100 thousand people a year die from drug addiction in Russia. On the site http://www.sta-t.ru I found more detailed information on the general mortality from drug addiction.


 

Year Number of deaths, thousand 2006 100 2007 115 2008 123 2009 103 (data as of the end of October, we will consider proportionally - 124)


 


These are terrible numbers. I do not know how accurate they are. I don’t understand why there are no official statistics on this topic anywhere.


And now the most interesting thing is similar data on alcohol. They are also not visible on official resources. There are excerpts from the journal "Narcology", articles, reports. There is an interesting indicator: mortality from factors related to alcoholism (i.e., not only poisoning, but also murders, accidents). So, here is http://demoscope.ru/weekly/2010/0425/analit01.php, and not only here it is written that 486.8 thousand people die every year from alcoholism.

I suggest everyone think about these numbers. Half a million people die from alcohol per year! What the hell is this? How many millions are there according to the census? 113? Not enough.

I’m involuntarily thinking about the “genocide of the Russian people” that they’re talking about ...


Both alcoholism and drug addiction must be fought, of course. But only alcoholism apparently suits everyone. And we fight with drugs in the same way as with corruption http://www.novayagazeta.ru/data/2011/033/22.html I advise everyone to read. For the lazy: "FSB officers covered up suppliers, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled the sale - and it’s clear that nobody needed any new competitors. As a result, instead of drug lords, drug policemen or enthusiasts from non-governmental funds to fight drug addiction began to appear in the dock. Meanwhile, drugs in the country was becoming more and more, and now Russia is simply littered with it - only 60 thousand Russians die from heroin annually. " So the criminal status of drugs is beneficial only to those who sell them.


Here is an article on this subject. http://slon.ru/blogs/hestanov/post/491993/


Once again, the main idea from alcohol is killed by 4-5 times more people than from drugs (mainly heroin). Why is alcohol allowed and not drugs?


P.S. I do not urge anyone to take drugs and drink! This is very bad:)

P.P.S. If anyone finds other statistics - send .P.P.P.S. If you, like me, consider this information important, like this on your page.
