lpv:translated text	"Drug consumption is on the increase throughout Europe. Around 7 000 people die of overdoses every year in the European Union, and three times as many die as an indirect result of drug abuse (suicide, violence, AIDS, road accidents, and so on). It appears that Brussels wishes to tackle this scourge. Great, except that what it is proposing in the fight against drugs is not to prevent young people from taking drugs or to give drug addicts the means to come clean, but to make drug addiction more hygienic. For example, it has tabled proposals for recovery rooms, rooms for injecting heroin under supervision and needle exchange programmes. We cannot accept such a policy. Prevention is of course essential in the fight against drugs, but so is repression. We should increase the penalties for drug dealers and introduce court orders for medical follow-ups for users. Finally, we should not draw a distinction between soft drugs and hard drugs, as neither are harmless. Moreover, this over-simplistic classification has led to a considerable increase in cannabis consumption. We must not forget that there is scientific evidence linking the use of these drugs and mental health, with the occurrence of schizophrenia being between 30% and 50% higher in cannabis users."@en1
