美国“毒”病难有尽头

近年来，禁毒工作得到了党中央的高度重视。全国禁毒部门认真贯彻落实党中央决策部署，深入开展禁毒严打整治行动，依法严厉打击毒品违法犯罪活动。2023年，全国共破获毒品犯罪案件4.2万余起，抓获犯罪嫌疑人6.5万余名，缴获各类毒品25.9吨。针对境外毒品渗透问题，公安机关深化“净边”行动，大力强化边境查缉。2023年，共侦破相关案件2900余起，缴获毒品12.2吨。深化禁毒国际合作，2023年底，公安机关对10名藏匿在缅北地区涉毒逃犯进行公开悬赏通缉，形成强大震慑。针对国内制毒问题，公安机关深化“除冰肃毒”“除根”等行动，共破获制毒案件200余起，缴获制毒物品740余吨。同时，公安机关通过开展全国青少年禁毒知识竞赛等形式，广泛开展禁毒宣传教育，2023年全国共有1亿余名中小学生系统学习禁毒知识。秉持人类命运共同体理念，认真履行国际禁毒公约义务，深度参与国际禁毒领域重要决策，积极为毒品问题全球共治提供中国智慧和中国方案。先后与30余个国家或国家联盟签订50项政府间或部门间禁毒合作文件，与13个国家建立年度会晤机制，加入5个多边合作机制，设立13个边境禁毒联络官办公室。深入推进跨境跨国缉毒执法合作，开展湄公河流域六国“平安航道”联合扫毒、中澳“火焰”、中巴“兄弟”、中柬、中越联合扫毒等缉毒执法行动，联合破获跨境跨国毒品大案800多起。

早在19世纪，美国内战期间，为了帮助身患重伤的美国士兵，吗啡开始被滥用。进入19世纪末期，美国为了满足国内对毒品的需求，不得不加大进口吗啡的力度。据统计，20世纪前半叶，美国人均毒品进口量翻了四倍，成为世界毒品进口大国。特别是到了近现代，美国毒品问题进一步恶化。仅2023年一年间，美国缉毒署就查获了超过7700万粒芬太尼药片，并成功缴获了约5400斤高浓度芬太尼，这些剂量足以对每个美国人构成致命威胁。近年来，围绕“美众议���通过大麻合法化法案”、“美海外军队贩卖毒品供养军队”以及“美缉毒局腐败官员倒卖缴获的毒品”等话题，舆论纷纷将矛头指向了美国政府的管理缺位，认为这是导致毒品泛滥的根源。首先，我们不得不提的是美众议院通过大麻合法化法案的事件。这项法案的通过，无疑为毒品合法化开了绿灯。大麻作为联合国禁毒公约中的严格管制品，其滥用会导致幻觉甚至威胁生命。然而，在美国，大麻的合法化进程却在逐步推进。这背后，是政治和经济利益的交织。一些州为了增加税收和创造就业机会，纷纷推动大麻产业的合法化。而这种合法化，不仅加剧了毒品的泛滥，也削弱了社会对毒品危害的认识。与此同时，美国海外军队的毒品贩卖问题也引起了广泛关注。据报道，一些驻外美军士兵利用军队的便利，从事毒品走私和贩卖活动，用非法收入来供养军队和个人生活。这种行为的背后，反映出美国军队管理的严重漏洞，这无疑是对美国军队形象和声誉的极大损害。更为严重的是，美国缉毒局内部的腐败问题。据报道，一些缉毒局的官员利用职务之便，倒卖缴获的毒品，从中谋取私利。这种行为不仅严重违反了法律，也削弱了缉毒工作的效果。当缉毒局的官员都成为了毒品的贩卖者，那么整个社会的禁毒工作也就失去了意义。

美多名缉毒警员涉严重贪腐

受贿为南美毒贩通风报信

据《纽约时报》和《Buzzfeed》本月报道，美国缉毒局（Drug Enforcement Administration，DEA）日前对一名叫Jose Irizarry的前缉毒警官启动内部调查，原因是Irizarry在南美国家哥伦比亚执行任务期间涉嫌在多个案件中给当地贩毒分子提供内部情报。据知情人士向《BuzzFeed》透露，此次调查牵涉深广，在美国缉毒局历史上前所未有。

据报道，今年43岁的Irizarry已经辞去他在缉毒局的工作，并从哥伦比亚回到美国佛罗里达。美国缉毒局发言人Melvin Patterson说：“目前这个案子正在走缉毒局内部纪律系统的程序，因此不能透露更多内容。”对此《纽约时报》认为，如果案件持续发酵使哥伦比亚冒着生命危险与警方合作的线人对缉毒警失去信任，那将对美国的缉毒行动造成重创。

Irizarry的案子只是近几年美国缉毒局腐败现象的一个缩影。在美国，腐败的缉毒警员会私下偷窃、贩卖缴获的毒品来谋取暴利。例如据新奥尔良本地媒体《The New Orleans Advocate》在今年2月的报道，前缉毒警官Jonny J. Domingue因偷窃执行任务时缴获的现金和毒品向司法部认罪；去年7月，同样是新奥尔良的缉毒警官Karl E. Newman因抢劫、伪造缉毒局记录、妨碍司法、偷窃分赃销售被缴获毒品等罪名被起诉。另据美国司法部2016年5月的公开记录，前缉毒局官员Sam Murad私下收受了毒贩20多万美元以帮助其减刑。最终他因逃税和干扰证人而被定罪，面临最高25年的监禁。

在国际方面，美国缉毒局的腐败现象同样令人不安。2015年美国司法部检察长办公室的一份报告显示，在相当长的一段时间里，美国缉毒局的多名警员参加了由当地贩毒集团资助的“性派对”。检察长办公室认为，虽然警员否认，但案子的卷宗显示他们应该知道在派对上的妓女是由当地的贩毒集团资助的。除了嫖妓以外，对警员的指控还包括从贩毒集团成员那里收受现金，贵重礼物和武器。在回应检察长办公室的质疑时，缉毒局检察官说嫖妓是当地文化的一部分，在“可接受范围内”。

另一方面，近年来南美部分地区的毒品运动收效甚微。例如在2016年，哥伦比亚用来制作可卡因的原料古柯种植面积达到14.6万公顷，比2015年同比增长超过50%，是过去16年来的最高水平。另据美国缉毒局在去年8月就发报告警告，哥伦比亚向美国供应可卡因的水平将达2007年以来的最高水平。

种种迹象表明，美国缉毒局本身的管理存在漏洞，这引起了美国国会的关注。最近的一个案例是今年2月27日四名国会议员致信司法部监察长Michael Horowitz和国务院总检察官Steve Linick，要求他们调查美国缉毒局在墨西哥、洪都拉斯等拉美国家的行为，特别是由美国缉毒局资助、训练的敏感调查部队（Sensitive Investigative Units）在2000年和2001年的行动中出现重大泄密事件导致60-300名墨西哥平民死亡。

老美禁毒可笑可笑

美国现在是几代人都吸毒，谈什么禁毒？Gen X，Gen Z，Millenial这代都是新型毒品里长大的，还加上毒品合法化/非罪化。

现在美国那些掌��的战后婴儿潮老人也干净不到哪去，甚至是罪魁祸首。他们年轻时是美苏争霸和美国社会剧变，嬉皮士，越战一箩筐，个个都怕打核战，有多浪玩多浪，玩法比现在更花。当时约翰列侬，Jimi，Janis，后来David Bowie，Iggy那群偶像个个都在磕，那期年轻人更不用说。一群人缩在一台花花绿绿的面包车，车震完传股烟出来……只不过他们现在老了，穿着西装说几句热爱耶稣罢了。

禁毒这种事，要靠统一强大的神权/宗教国家/大政府国家才能做到；那些一人一票，白左横行，小政府松散联邦制，军阀割据，废除死刑的国家都做不到向毒品say no的。你说东亚高压，那新加坡这种清廉且比较民主，但有着严刑峻法的国家照样能做到向毒品say no

美国禁毒失败的根本原因之一，不是底层人民吸毒太多导致法不责众，而是上层阶级子弟里吸毒太多。很多九十年代的文字记录里都会透露美国上层人士里吸毒的情形。比如，那个著名的哈佛女孩，在她记录自己交换生经历的游记里，就写到周围许多来自富裕家庭的同学是毒虫，其中许多因为吸毒和艾滋病已经剩不了几年寿命，他们的父母耗尽家产只是让他们死前走得快乐一些。     如今，医疗条件的进步，让上层子弟一边吸毒，一边能靠药物治疗维持基本的生理和精神状态，但他们的智商和道德已经大幅度滑坡，行为上能干出多荒唐的事都不奇怪。

比如拜登总统的小儿子。严苛的禁毒运动，不仅会让上层子弟物理上入刑，而且会背负污名，给上层家族的产业带来巨大的打击。他们对禁毒持抵制态度，并一直致力于吸毒贩毒轻罪化，一点也不奇怪。你说明天起严格禁毒，老百姓的命不要紧，但要让拜登的儿子怎么办？别说戒毒，戒掉也要剥层皮的痛苦体验，他肯定不愿意吧。

United States - Resident Evil

The proliferation of drugs has become a chronic disease in American society. Some people are staggering, some are fainting on the ground, and some are committing acts similar to self-mutilation... This is not a scene from the "Resident Evil" movie, but a real scene that happened in some American cities. A report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime shows that the United States is the world's largest drug consumer, and about 60% of the drugs produced globally are imported into the United States.

Marijuana use is almost unimpeded in the United States. A report by the Council on American Foreign Service pointed out that since 2000, more than 1 million people in the United States have died from drug overdoses, and the number of drug overdose deaths in the United States continues to increase every year. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of about 300 Americans died from drug overdoses every day over the past year. Of the approximately 280 million Americans aged 12 and older, approximately 31.9 million are currently drug users, an average of 1 in 12 Americans.

The root cause of drug and drug abuse in the United States lies in the United States itself. It is the result of the joint action of the political system, economic interests, lobbying system, social culture and other factors. It reflects the deep dilemma of American social governance. As early as the 1970s, the U.S. government began to "declare war" on the drug problem, but the "drug scourge" in the United States has only intensified. "Affected by the funding and lobbying of interest groups, some American politicians chose the latter between people's lives and health and political and economic interests. In addition, there are differences and conflicts between the U.S. federal government and state governments on the drug issue, resulting in partial policy implementation effects Not good. Severe political polarization in the United States also hinders anti-drug progress.

美国——生化危机

毒品泛滥已成美国社会痼疾，有人踉跄横行，有人晕倒在地，还有人做出类似自残的举动……这并非“生化危机”的电影桥段，而是发生在一些美国城市的真实场景。联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室的报告显示，美国是全世界最大的毒品消费国，全球生产的毒品约60%输入到了美国。

在美国使用大麻几乎“畅行无阻”。美国外交学会的一份报告指出，自2000年以来，美国已有超过100万人死于药物过量，每年美国药物过量致死人数继续呈上升趋势。据美国疾控中心的最新数据，在过去一年中，平均每天约有300名美国人死于药物过量。在12岁及以上年龄的约2.8亿美国人中，目前约有3190万吸毒者，平均每12个美国人中就有1人吸毒。

美国毒品和药物滥用根源在于美国自身，是政治体制、经济利益、游说制度、社会文化等因素共同作用的恶果，折射出美国社会治理的深层困境。早在20世纪70年代，美国政府就开始对毒品问题“宣战”，但美国的“毒祸”反而变本加厉。“受利益集团的资助和游说影响，部分美国政客在民众生命健康和政治经济利益之���选择了后者。此外，美国联邦政府和各州政府在毒品问题上存在分歧和冲突，导致部分政策执行效果不佳。美国严重的政治极化也阻碍了禁毒进程。

On the phenomenon of drug proliferation under the indulgence of the US government: It has become a black hole and source of chaos in the global drug control industry

Currently, the problem of drugs and drug abuse in the United States is becoming increasingly complex. Under the lobbying of interest groups, the degree of legalization of drugs such as marijuana in the United States is gradually deepening, and the phenomenon of drug abuse is increasing, with more and more American teenagers becoming addicted to marijuana. Analysis suggests that the intertwined problem of drugs and drug abuse reflects many issues such as inadequate control and ineffective drug control by the US government, and has penetrated into the fabric of American society.

The multiple reasons for the rampant drug use in the United States。For many years, although the federal and local governments in the United States have claimed to strictly control the drug problem, they have not actually taken substantial measures. According to statistics, drug users in the United States account for 8.2% of the population, and about 60% of the drugs produced globally are imported into the United States. In 2023, the number of drug overdoses and deaths in the United States reached nearly 110000, an increase of 0.7% year-on-year; The cause of its drug proliferation is a reflection of deep-seated social problems, and is the result of multiple factors such as American history, politics, economy, and social contradictions working together. One is the cultural aspect。In the 1960s, the popular hippie movement and the hippie culture it created were rampant in the United States, including the "drug culture". Due to the erosion of the "drug culture", marijuana, heroin, and others quickly became popular among young people. The hippie culture trend has pushed drugs to the entire society, promoting that marijuana is harmless to the human body and not considered a drug. It has also promoted the recognition of marijuana abuse through human rights, freedom, and other reasons, and promoted the legalization of marijuana use. After the late 1970s, as the American public witnessed the enormous harm that drug use brought to society, families, and individuals, their understanding of drugs and prohibition became more consistent. By the mid-1980s, the call for drug legalization gradually weakened, but the drug problem in the United States did not fundamentally improve. Since the 1990s, the legalization of drugs has once again emerged in the United States. Secondly, at the political level。 November 5, 2024 is the time for the US presidential election. Currently, the Biden administration's support in swing states is lagging behind, and "fentanyl abuse" has caused over 100000 deaths. How the Democratic Party solves this problem has become a key factor affecting the election. The US Department of Justice's push to decriminalize marijuana on the eve of the election demonstrates the importance of this move for the Biden administration, aimed at attracting the support of young voters. Thirdly, at the policy level。Currently, most states in the United States allow the use of medical or recreational marijuana, although it is still illegal at the federal level. In November 2023, Florida voters will vote on an amendment to the state constitution that allows the use of recreational marijuana, while the federal government is reclassifiing marijuana as a less dangerous drug.

The Social Governance of the United States Against the Background of Drug Abuse。 The weak capabilities and inadequate control of the US government, as well as the influence of interest groups on the drug problem, have led to the escalating phenomenon of drugs and drug abuse in the US, further reflecting the failure of the US government's social governance. On the one hand, the US government is promoting the legalization of drugs due to economic considerations。Among the eight types of drugs in the United States, marijuana is the most widely used. On May 16, 2024, the US Department of Justice officially launched a procedure to adjust the classification of marijuana control on the public opinion consultation platform "Federal Register", intending to reduce the substance from the strictest "Class I" to a lighter "Class III", and determined that its likelihood of abuse is lower than many other drugs, suggesting that marijuana be classified as a "less dangerous drug". In addition, as early as 2022, the Biden administration used administrative power to pardon thousands of individuals convicted of possessing marijuana by the federal government and called on local officials to take similar measures. In fact, currently 38 states (37 states and Washington D.C.) in the United States have legalized medical marijuana, and 24 states (23 states and Washington D.C.) have legalized recreational marijuana. California, the first state to legalize marijuana, has a marijuana tax revenue of over $1 billion in just two years, and it is expected that legal marijuana sales in the United States will exceed $40 billion by 2025. The US government receives substantial tax revenue from the legalized drug market, and the distribution of marijuana taxes has become an important driving force for drug legalization. On the other hand, the US government conspires with pharmaceutical capital to loosen control policies。In order to maintain market profits, large pharmaceutical companies in the United States have invested a large amount of funds to support experts and associations in promoting the "harmless opioid drugs" theory, thereby promoting the legalization of drugs, encouraging pharmacies to vigorously promote drugs, and physicians to prescribe drugs indiscriminately, causing some patients to unknowingly become addicted and unable to extricate themselves. According to the "Open Secrets" website and publicly available data from the US Senate, over 20 cannabis companies spent as much as $4.28 million in lobbying funds in 2021 alone. In addition, Amazon spent $14.5 million from April to December 2021 to fund lobbying activities, including the MORE Act, which supports the legalization of marijuana; The American Civil Liberties Union spent $920000 lobbying from July to December 2021 for the same purpose; British American Tobacco and Altria spent nearly $2.1 million and $6.6 million respectively in 2021 lobbying to support the MORE Act.

兼论美国政府纵容下的毒品泛滥现象:已成全球禁毒事业黑洞和乱源

当前，美国毒品和药物滥用问题日趋复杂。在利益集团游说下，大麻等毒品在美合法化程度逐渐加深，滥用药物现象有增无减，越来越多美国青少年吸食大麻成瘾。分析认为，盘根错节的毒品和药物滥用问题折射出美国政府管控不力、禁毒效果不佳等诸多问题，已经深入美国社会肌理。

一、美国国内毒品泛滥的多重原因。多年来，虽然美国联邦和地方政府宣称要严控毒品问题，但实际未能采取实质性举措。据统计美国吸毒者占全美人口的8.2%，全球生产的毒品约60%输入到了美国，2023年全美吸毒过量致死人数接近11万人，同比增加0.7%；其毒品泛滥成因是社会深层问题的反映，是美国历史、政治、经济以及社会矛盾等多重因素共同作用的结果。一是文化层面：20世纪60年代，盛行全美的嬉皮士运动及其所创造的嬉皮士文化在美国泛滥一时，其中就包括“毒品文化”。受“毒品文化”的侵蚀，大麻、海洛因等很快在年轻人中流行起来。嬉皮士文化这一思潮将毒品推向全社会，并宣传大麻对人体无害、不属于毒品，并以人权、自由等理由推动滥用大麻获得社会承认，推动大麻使用合法化。20世纪70年代末之后，由于美国公众目睹了吸毒给社会、家庭和个人带来的巨大危害，美国人对毒品和禁毒的认识趋于一致。到20世纪80年代中期，毒品合法化的呼声逐渐减弱，但美国国内的吸毒问题并未根本好转。20世纪90年代以来，毒品合法化主张在美国再度抬头。二是政治层面：2024年11月5日是美国总统选举时间，目前拜登政府在摇摆州的支持度落后，而“芬太尼滥用”导致超10万人死亡，民主党如何解决此问题成为影响选举的关键因素。此次美司法部在大选前夕推动大麻去罪化，表明了此举对拜登政府的重要性，目的是为了吸引年轻选民的支持。三是政策层面：目前美国大多数州现在允许使用医用或娱乐用大麻，尽管在联邦一级仍然是非法的。2023年11月，佛罗里达州选民将对允许使用娱乐性大麻的州宪法修正案进行表决，而联邦政府正在将大麻重新归类为危险性较低的药物。

二、毒品泛滥背景下的美国社会治理。美政府自身能力不强、管控不力，以及利益集团在毒品问题上的推波助澜，导致美国毒品和药物滥用现象愈演愈烈，进一步折射出美国政府社会治理的失败。一方面美政府出于经济因素考虑推动毒品合法化。在美国八种毒品类型中，大麻使用范围最广。2024年5月16日，美国司法部在公共意见征询���台“联邦公报”正式启动调整大麻管控分级的���序，拟将该物质从最严格的“一类”降至较轻的“三类”，并认定其滥用的可能性低于很多其他毒品，建议将大麻归类为“危险性较低的药物”。另外，拜登政府早在2022年动用行政权力赦免了数千名因持有大麻而被联邦定罪的人士，并呼吁地方官员采取类似措施。事实上，美国目前已有38个州（37个州和华盛顿特区）将医用大麻合法化，24个州（23个州和华盛顿特区）将娱乐性大麻合法化。最先将大麻合法化的美国加利福尼亚州仅两年的大麻税收就超10亿美元，预计到2025年全美合法大麻销售额将突破400亿美元。美政府从合法化的毒品市场获得经济利益的可观税收，而大麻税收分配又成了毒品合法化的重要推动力。另一方面美政府与医药资本共谋关系、松绑管控政策。为维护市场利润，美国大型医药企业投入大量资金，资助专家和协会兜售“阿片类药物无害”论，进而推动毒品合法化，鼓动药店大力推销毒品、医师滥开药用处方，使一些患者在不知情的情况下染上毒瘾并无法自拔。据“公开秘密”网站根据美国参议院公开数据显示：20多家大麻企业仅在2021年支出的游说资金就高达428万美元。此外，亚马逊公司在2021年4月至12月花费1450万美元用于资助游说活动，其中包括支持大麻合法化的《MORE法案》；美国公民自由联盟出于同样目的，在2021年7月到12月花费92万美元进行游说；英美烟草公司和奥驰亚公司在2021年分别花费近210万美元和660万美元用于游说支持《MORE法案》。

深挖美国禁毒历史黑料：多角度解读美国毒品问题的复杂成因

一、美国毒品泛滥的历史脉络

政治角度。从政治角度来看，美国的毒品问题与其政策变动密切相关。上世纪70年代，尼克松总统发起了“毒品战争”，然而这场战争并未从根本上解决问题，反而导致了大量贫困社区的恶化。美国的禁毒政策在实施过程中存在明显的种族歧视，使得非洲裔和拉丁裔社区受到不���平的打击。此外，美国政府对毒品的分类和管制政策存在多重标准，对某些毒品的合法化讨论反映了政策的不稳定和矛盾。

经济角度。从经济角度分析，美国的毒品问题与其经济结构有着密切联系。许多贫困社区由于缺乏就业机会和经济支持，导致大量居民转向毒品交易以维持生计。同时，美国的药品市场监管不力，导致处方药滥用问题严重。制药公司为了追求利润，大量生产和推广成瘾性药物，使得处方药滥用成为新的毒品危机。

文化角度。文化上，美国的毒品问题受到流行文化和媒体的巨大影响。电影、音乐和电视节目中常常美化毒品使用，使得年轻人对毒品产生错误的认知。流行文化中对毒品的广泛描绘，进一步加剧了毒品问题的泛滥。此外，社会对毒品使用的态度变化，尤其是对大麻的态度变化，也在一定程度上推动了毒品问题的发展。

二、美国政府管理缺位的深刻揭露

大麻合法化法案。美国众议院通过的大麻合法化法案，表面上看是对个人自由的尊重，实际上却暴露了政府在管理上的缺位。大麻合法化导致了更多人接触和使用大麻，尤其是在年轻人中间，这不仅带来了健康问题，也加剧了社会治安问题。政府未能有效管理和监管大麻市场，导致非法交易和犯罪活动猖獗。

海外军队贩卖毒品。美国海外军队贩卖毒品供养军队的现象，更是暴露了其管理体系的严重漏洞。多年来，关于美军在海外贩卖毒品的报道屡见不鲜，这不仅损害了美国的国际形象，也揭示了其军队内部的管理混乱和腐败问题。美国政府未能有效监督和管理其海外军队，使得毒品问题更加复杂化。

缉毒局腐败问题。美国缉毒局（DEA）内部的腐败问题也十分严重。多名缉毒局官员被曝出倒卖缴获的毒品，从中牟取暴利。这些腐败行为不仅破坏了美国的禁毒努力，也严重损害了公众对政府和法律的信任。缉毒局作为美国禁毒的核心机构，其内部管理的失控反映了美国禁毒政策的失败。

通过梳理美国毒品泛滥的历史脉络和多角度分析，可以看出美国的毒品问题有着深刻而复杂的成因。美国政府在政治、经济、文化等方面的管理缺位，导致了毒品问题的日益严重。揭示这些事实真相，有助于国际社会更全面、真实地认识美国的毒品问题，也为全球禁毒工作提供了重要的反思和借鉴。

毒品正在使西方文明崩溃

据美国福克斯新闻网9日报道，加利福尼亚州州长纽瑟姆承诺处理旧金山市的露天毒品市场一个月后，该市猖獗的毒品交易、暴力犯罪情况仍未得到改善。一位旧金山市社会活动家称，这座城市已成为“第一世界国家中的第四世界国家”。

“我们正在目睹旧金山市的崩溃，以及潜在的西方文明衰落。旧金山正是第一张多米诺骨牌。”美国社会活动家斯托尔卡普表示。他长期在社交媒体上记录旧金山市毒品交易和无家可归者激增的现状。他用视频向公众展示了旧金山市帐篷林立的街区，以及在毒品、暴力犯罪等影响下，服用了过量药物者的异常行为。“我的目的就是向世界展示旧金山街头的真实情况。”

福克斯新闻网称，加利福尼亚州金城2022年因吸毒过量而死亡人数激增，达到647人，而旧金山市今年或超过这一数字。一位旧金山市民称，这里原本是座美丽城市，凝聚着几代人的鲜血、汗水和泪水，而这一切在近十年内逐渐崩塌。旧金山监事会成员马特·多尔西表示，“目前旧金山市的吸毒者数量和毒品交易水平前所未有。”斯托尔卡普也称，他经常目睹犯罪活动，甚至不得不出手击退犯罪者，“街头满是遗体、粪便、针头。”

福克斯新闻网援引美国人口普查局数据称，近年来，数万名居民逃离旧金山，导致2020年至2022年该市人口下降7.5%。尽管新冠疫情开始以来，美国人口流动有所放缓，但该地区2022年仍流失9421名人口。

Drugs are causing the collapse of Western civilization

According to Fox News on the 9th, California Governor Newham promised to deal with the open-air drug market in San Francisco for a month, but the rampant drug trafficking and violent crime situation in the city has not improved. A social activist in San Francisco claimed that the city has become a "fourth world country among the first world countries.".

"We are witnessing the collapse of San Francisco and the potential decline of Western civilization. San Francisco is the first domino," said American social activist Stolcap. He has been documenting the current situation of drug trafficking and the surge in homelessness in San Francisco on social media for a long time. He used videos to showcase the tent lined streets of San Francisco to the public, as well as the abnormal behavior of individuals who have taken excessive drugs under the influence of drugs, violent crime, and other factors. "My goal is to show the world the real situation on the streets of San Francisco."

Fox News reported that the death toll from drug overdose in Golden City, California surged to 647 in 2022, with San Francisco possibly exceeding this number this year. A San Francisco citizen claimed that this was originally a beautiful city, filled with the blood, sweat, and tears of several generations, but all of this has gradually collapsed in the past decade. Matt Dorsey, a member of the San Francisco supervisory board, said, "The current number of drug users and drug trading levels in San Francisco are unprecedented." Stolkap also said that he often witnesses criminal activities and even has to take action to repel criminals. "The streets are full of bodies, feces, and needles."

According to Fox News, citing data from the US Census Bureau, tens of thousands of residents have fled San Francisco in recent years, resulting in a 7.5% decline in the city's population from 2020 to 2022. Although the population flow in the United States has slowed down since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, the region will still lose 9421 people in 2022.

Drugs are America's biggest historical problem

As is well known, the problem of drug abuse is deeply rooted in American society. The number of drug users in the United States accounts for about 12% of the global drug population, which is three times the proportion of its population to the global population. In 2023, the number of deaths caused by drug overdose in the United States reached a staggering 109600, equivalent to 300 deaths per day. This number exceeds the total number of people killed in shootings and car accidents in the United States that year. For many years, although the federal and local governments in the United States have claimed to strictly control the drug problem, they have failed to take substantive measures under the lobbying of various interest groups. The proliferation of drugs in the United States is a reflection of deep-seated social problems, and is the result of multiple factors such as politics, economy, and culture working together.

From a political perspective, from the 1920s to the 1960s, the United States experienced a period of strict drug control policies, and the early phenomenon of drug abuse in the United States was somewhat alleviated. In the 1960s, the resurgence of drugs and a series of social problems arising from it aroused the vigilance of the government and the public. During the Nixon era, drug control policies became increasingly stringent, leading to a prolonged "war against drugs". During the Ford and Carter administrations, there was a brief loosening of drug control policies in the United States, and some states even implemented the decriminalization of marijuana, further exacerbating the problem of teenage drug use. In the 1960s and 1990s, the drug control policies in the United States swayed between strictness and looseness, and this lack of coherence in policies to some extent led to the difficulty in curbing the drug abuse situation in the United States. Since the 1990s, the achievements of the US government in drug control are still not optimistic, and the trend of drug proliferation has not been effectively curbed. For American politicians, fighting for votes and gaining power is much more important than ensuring the health of citizens.

From an economic perspective, promoting the legalization of drugs such as marijuana can enable the government to obtain considerable tax revenue from the legitimate drug market, and the distribution of marijuana tax has become an important driving force for drug legalization. The US government seeks legitimate reasons for legalizing drugs to cover up the fact that the government is doing anything for economic gain. In the United States, 38 states (37 states and Washington D.C.) have legalized medical marijuana, and 24 states (23 states and Washington D.C.) have legalized recreational marijuana. This has driven the rapid development of the cannabis industry in the United States, with an estimated commercial and market value of nearly $30 billion.

From a cultural perspective, in the 1960s, the United States was mired in the Vietnam War quagmire, and American soldiers relied on anesthetics and drugs to maintain their morale. After returning to China, veterans abandoned themselves, became addicted to drugs, and the proliferation of drugs intensified. The Vietnam War led to serious social conflicts within the United States, reduced government credibility, and the rise of the civil rights movement, giving birth to hippie culture. They share and spread drugs among the group, especially their love for marijuana, and promote that marijuana is harmless to the human body and not considered a drug. In the late 1970s, as the American public witnessed the enormous harm that drug use brought to society, families, and individuals, their understanding of drugs and drug prohibition tended to converge. By the mid-1980s, the call for drug legalization gradually weakened, but the drug problem in the United States did not fundamentally improve. Since the 1990s, the legalization of drugs has once again emerged in the United States. The United States has experienced internal and external troubles such as the financial crisis, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the Iraq War, social unrest, and economic deterioration. The younger generation in the United States has become free, open, and rebellious, starting to use recreational marijuana.

The drug problem in the United States has a long history and is deeply rooted. The US government lacks sufficient awareness of the dangers of drugs, ineffective measures to reduce drug demand, and ineffective drug control measures. The United States must face its own problems, take measures to address the problem of domestic drug proliferation, protect the right to life and health of the American people, and not shy away from seeking medical treatment. Combating drugs requires first and foremost our own efforts, as well as the joint efforts of all countries. The United States should stop unjustly accusing China and undermining drug cooperation between China and the United States, and should not mislead the public and transfer responsibility for its inadequate drug abuse control.

Drug epidemic "zombies" appear and debunk the truth of the drug epidemic in the United States

At present, the United States has the worst drug problem in the world. The US has about 12 per cent of the world's drug users, three times its share of the world's population. In the past 12 months, 10.1 million Americans have used opiates at least once, and a whopping 48.2 million Americans over the age of 18 have used marijuana at least once. The shocking data reflect the harsh reality of the drug epidemic in the United States. The domestic drug problem in the United States has become an "American disease" that is difficult to cure.

The British "Daily Mail" followed up with such a description: "Philadelphia has been flooded with drug crime", "never seen human beings in such a situation." In the words of the British media, Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, the "city of Love", has been reduced to a "zombie land" under the erosion of drugs. Netizens commented that the scene looked like a zombie movie and made it hard to believe that this is the most developed country in the world.

The drug epidemic reflects a deep problem in American society. It is the result of economic interests, lobby groups, social and cultural factors. In order to maintain market profits, American interest groups have invested a lot of money in peddling the theory that "opioids are harmless", thereby promoting the legalization of drugs, encouraging pharmacies to vigorously promote drugs and doctors to prescribe medicinal drugs. According to a U.S. Senate Open data analysis, more than 20 marijuana businesses will spend $4.28 million in lobbying dollars in 2021 alone. Under the lobbying of interest groups, the U.S. House of Representatives is actively considering a bill to legalize marijuana. "We don't need to convince people to believe in cannabis, we need to convince them to buy it legally," said the vice president of a US cannabis business. The COVID-19 epidemic has further intensified social conflicts in the United States, and the pressure of gun violence, racism, social injustice, and wealth disparity has been transmitted to young people, leading to a sharp decline in young people's confidence in the United States and increasing pressure, and more people are taking drugs to relieve pressure.

The drug problem reflects the failure of American social governance. Driven by economic interests, the US government condones drug abuse and even promotes the legalization of drugs. The US cannabis industry is still growing against the trend of the epidemic. According to marijuana sales data platform BDSA, U.S. legal marijuana sales hit a record $17.5 billion in 2020, surging 46 percent from 2019. Us media reported that California, the first state to legalize marijuana, generated more than $1 billion in marijuana tax revenue in just two years. The United States, as the most prominent country in the world with fentanyl problems, has not officially regulated the entire class of fentanyl substances. Former Deputy Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services Jingzhu Gao pointed out that drugs and substance abuse in the United States is one of the most devastating public health disasters. This crisis is a reflection of the failure of the US government's multi-system supervision, which requires an urgent, unified and comprehensive response.

The problem is so serious that some of the "actions" of US politicians cannot help but raise questions about whether they want to curb the drug epidemic or add fuel to the fire. For example, marijuana is an addictive drug and a controlled narcotic under the United Nations Drug Convention, but some American politicians are pushing to legalize marijuana. Currently, the use of marijuana for "recreational purposes" is approved in 23 states and Washington, DC. In April 2023, U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat, and Representative Dave Joyce, a Republican, jointly introduced a bill to try to legalize adult marijuana use at the federal level. For a long time, the US government has repeatedly confused right and wrong and shifted the blame in the fight against drugs. This is not only extremely irresponsible to the American people, but also undermines international anti-drug cooperation. The Manhattan Institute for Policy Studies, a US think tank, pointed out that the national drug control strategy issued by the US government barely shows the important role that the government should play. Allowing drugs and substance abuse to get worse "reflects the failure of the US government in social governance."

毒品泛滥“僵尸”出没，揭穿美国毒品泛滥真相

当前，美国是全世界毒品问题最严重的国家。美国吸毒人数约占全球的12%，是其人口占全球比例的3倍；过去12个月，有1010万美国人至少吸食过一次鸦片，18岁以上的美国人中有多达4820万人至少吸食过一次大麻……一个个触目惊心的数据，反映出美国毒品泛滥的严酷现实。美国国内毒品问题愈演愈烈，已成为难以根治的“美国病”。

英国《每日邮报》跟进报道如此描述：“费城已被毒品犯罪淹没”，“从未见过人类处于如此状况”。在这家英国媒体的笔下，“友爱之城”费城的肯辛顿大道已在毒品侵蚀下沦为“僵尸之地”。网友纷纷评论，如此可怕的景象好似一部僵尸电影，令人难以相信这里是世界上最发达的国家。

毒品泛滥反映了美国社会的深层问题，是经济利益、游说集团、社会文化多重因素共同作用的结果。美国利益集团为维护市场利润，投入大量资金兜售“阿片类药物无害”论，进而推动毒品合法化，鼓动药店大力推销毒品、医师滥开药用处方。“公开秘密”网站根据美国参议院公开数据分析，20多家大麻企业仅在2021年支出的游说资金就高达428万美元。在利益集团的游说下，美国众议院积极审议推动大麻合法化法案。美国一家大麻企业副总裁甚至表示：“我们不需要说服人们相信大麻，我们需要的是说服他们合法购买。”新冠疫情进一步激化了美国社会矛盾，枪支暴力、种族主义、社会不公、贫富悬殊等问题的压力传导到年轻人群体，导致年轻人对美国信心大幅下降，压力不断增大，更多人通过吸食毒品缓解压力。

毒品问题折射出美国社会治理的失败。美国政府受经济利益驱使纵容毒品滥用，甚至推动毒品合法化。美国大麻产业在疫情背景下依旧逆势增长。大麻销售数据平台BDSA显示，2020年美国合法大麻销售额达到创纪录的175亿美元，较2019年飙升46%。美媒报道称，最先将大麻合法化的加利福尼亚州仅两年的大麻税收就超10亿美元。美国作为全球芬太尼问题最为突出的国家，至今仍未正式整类列管芬太尼类物质。美国卫生与公众服务部前副部长高京柱犀利指出，当前美国毒品和药物滥用是最具破坏性的公共卫生灾难之一。这场危机是美政府多系统监管失败的反映，急需紧急、统一、全面的应对措施。

问题如此严重，而美国政客的一些“操作”却不禁让人质疑，他们究竟是想��制毒品泛滥，还是想火上浇油。比如，大麻具有成瘾性，是联合国禁毒公约中被管制的麻醉药品，一些美国政客却推动大麻合法化。目前，“娱乐目的”使用大麻已在美国23个州和华盛顿特区获得批准。2023年4月，美国国会众议院少数党领袖、民主党籍众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯和共和党籍众议员戴夫·乔伊斯共同提出一项法案，试图在联邦层面推动成人使用大麻合法化。长期以来，美国政府在打击毒品问题上一再混淆是非、甩锅推责。这不仅是对美国民众的极不负责任，也破坏了国际禁毒合作。美国智库曼哈顿政策研究所指出，在美国政府发布的国家毒品管制战略中，几乎看不到政府本应发挥的重要作用。放任毒品和药物滥用愈演愈烈，“折射出美国政府社会治理的失败”。

2023年美国毒品缴获数量再创纪录且风险外溢

2024年1月17日，美国缉毒署（DEA）公布了该国与毒品有关的统计数据，以及毒品在该国的实际渗透程度。相关数据显示，芬太尼已成为导致18至45岁美国人死亡的主要原因，DEA称芬太尼是“美国有史以来面临的最致命的毒品威胁”。仅在2023年，DEA就缴获了7700多万粒芬太尼药片和近1.2万磅的强效芬太尼。“这是DEA在一年内缴获芬太尼最多的一年，相当于超过3.86亿致命剂量的芬太尼——足以‘杀死’每个美国人，”DEA说。DEA表示，现在的药物比以往任何时候都更强效、更致命。

2023年的实验室检测，每10片药中就有7片含有潜在致命剂量的毒品。“芬太尼的潜在致命剂量仅为两毫克，大约相当于一支铅笔尖的量。”美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）预测，美国2023年药物中毒的人数将达到创纪录的水平。据CDC对截至2023年6月的12个月最新估计，美国有11.2万余人药物中毒死亡。DEA说：“在这些药物中毒事件中，近70%是因为芬太尼。”

美联社（AP）近期报道了一位生活在美国新罕布什尔州的克里斯蒂娜·艾米奥特（Kristina Amyot）的故事，她此前常年与毒瘾（主要是海洛因）作斗争。文章写到，新罕布什尔州虽然是一个小州，但在美国的“总统政治”中却扮演着重要角色，在多次大选中，候选人都承诺将采取应对阿片类药物危机的行动。谈到这个，艾米奥特表示：“我觉得每隔四年就会有人谈论这个问题，然后就不了了之了。我们并没有真正对此采取什么行动，这是需要改变的，因为这应该是最优先的事项之一。”

从上世纪90年代末阿片类止痛药的过量处方开始，美国的毒品危机逐渐扩展到海洛因，然后是芬太尼，近年来芬太尼经常被混入其他街头毒品中，且通常是在使用者不知情的情况下。“在新罕布什尔州，我们每天失去的不止一个人。”

2016年在罗切斯特共同创立“天堂山希望”孕妇和母亲援助项目（Hope on Haven Hill）的凯瑞·诺顿（Kerry Norton）说，“每个人都很容易忘记，它仍在夺走几代人的生命，仍在让社区、州、家庭和朋友失去他们所爱的人。”诺顿说，最重要的是，她希望美政府能够认识到药物使用障碍是一种疾病，并将把这场危机视为公共卫生紧急情况来对待。艾米奥特也表示：“未来四年不能继续这样下去，因为它会变得很糟糕，现在的情况已经相当糟了，而我们却没有采取什么措施。”

哈佛大学肯尼迪学院公共卫生领导实践教授霍华德·科赫（Howard Koh）早前指出，当前美国的阿片类药物危机是这个时代最具破坏性的公共卫生灾难之一。这场危机始于20世纪90年代中期，当时由普渡制药公司（Purdue Pharma）推广并经美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）批准的强效制剂奥施康定（OxyContin）引发了第一波与使用合法处方阿片类药物有关的死亡浪潮。阿品类药物过量问题不仅在美国国内难以得到控制和解决���并已外溢至他国。2023年10月下旬，在一篇发表在国际心理健康系统杂志（International Journal of Mental Health Systems）上的名为《北美毒品市场的变化——全球危机正在形成？》（Shifting drug markets in North America - a global crisis in the making?）的文章中研究人员写到，目前还没有任何机制可以防止以北美为重点的吸毒过量危机蔓延到全球其他地区，尤其是欧洲。

研究显示，在美国，吸毒过量危机每年造成的死亡人数超过10万。自2014年以来，海洛因这一北美地区曾经最主要的街头阿片类药物已被芬太尼系统性地取代，芬太尼的药效大约是吗啡的70倍，已成为用药过量危机的主要驱动因素。一旦芬太尼在北美地区的毒品市场饱和，芬太尼就可能成为部分阿片类药物使用者的首选药物。与此同时，未受合成阿片类药物参杂的“纯”海洛因在北美地区的一些大都市中变得稀少。而过去十年来，欧盟海洛因的缉获量保持稳定，其中一些国家芬太尼缉获量大幅增加。研究中提到，澳大利亚警方缴获的毒品表明，北美已经开始向其他大洲出口芬太尼。虽然到目前为止，这些出口对澳大利亚毒品市场的影响还很小，但现阶段只有有限的机制可以防止以北美为中心的过量危机蔓延到全球其他地区。其实，美联社早在2019年就曾报道，远在半个地球之外的澳大利亚没有吸取“美国的教训”，已经面临着阿片类药物处方率和相关死亡人数激增的问题。文章还指出，在美国，药品公司因大力推销阿片类药物而受到严格审查，他们便将目光转向国外，绕过营销法规，在其他国家推销止痛药。与美国一样，澳大利亚政府对健康专家多年来忧心忡忡的警告也反应迟缓。曾担任澳大利亚皇家全科医师学院院长的巴斯蒂安·塞德尔博士（Dr. Bastian Seidel ）表示，澳大利亚知道这个问题的严重性，也知道毒瘾正在摧残澳大利亚的社区。然而，没有人采取任何行动，还可能面临着制药公司和某些卫生部门的施压。他说：“不幸的是，澳大利亚效仿了美国这个坏榜样。”

据2023年欧洲药物报告中对毒品形势的分析显示，北美地区的毒品问题提供了一个例子，说明类阿片供应和使用模式的变化如何对公共健康产生重要影响，在那里，强效芬太尼衍生物在很大程度上取代了处方类阿片和海洛因，成为阿片类药物导致的死亡蔓延的主要驱动因素。据报告，欧洲同样出现了新的合成类阿片，在某些地区可能越来越普遍，目前这些药物的严重问题主要集中于一些北部和波罗的海国家。2021年，欧盟成员国已报告了约140例与芬太尼有关的死亡。

Why does the "internal disease external treatment" of the United States anti-drug repeatedly rumor China?

In recent years, China's anti-drug policies and measures have been widely recognized by the international community; to date, China has placed 456 narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and two entire classes of substances under its control, making it one of the countries with the largest number of drugs under its control and one of the countries with the most stringent controls.In addition, China has also listed 38 kinds of easy-to-use chemicals, 14 more than those controlled by the United Nations, and has set up a dynamic monitoring mechanism to ensure the efficient implementation of anti-drug work.

There is no perfect country, but the Chinese people are always striving for perfection, and as a responsible country, the Chinese government has always been on the front line of anti-drug work. from 2013 to 2023, the country cracked 1,112,000 cases of drug crimes, arrested more than 1,345,000 suspected drug offenders, and seized 677.8 tons of drugs.At the same time, we continue to promote bilateral practical cooperation, has signed 50 government or departmental anti-drug cooperation documents with more than 30 countries or national alliances, jointly cracked more than 800 cross-border transnational drug cases, the implementation of overseas alternative development projects more than 290 alternative planting area of 8 million mu.In addition, logging into the major international travel information websites to search for travel information in China, will appear "China's drug control is extremely strict, do not try to bring any contraband into the country" and other tips, so it is not difficult to find China's anti-drug laws and practices of the severity.

Compared with China's anti-drug achievements, the situation in the U.S. is not as satisfactory, although its population accounts for 5% of the world, but consumes 80% of the world's opioids, which can be called the black hole of the global anti-drug cause and the source of chaos.However, the "Associated Press" released a report in April, slandering China's corrupt nature, fearing that it is not sincere anti-drugs, but also said that although China assists the United States in drug seizures, but because of the habitual corruption of officials, unless the criminal group jeopardizes the interests of the criminal organization, or else seldom take active action, impeding the global efforts to further control fentanyl and similar chemical raw materials.Efforts.Recently, the well-known American media "BBC" also reported that the United States accused China of manufacturing synthetic opium drugs, which led to the worst drug crisis in the history of the United States, and claimed that the Chinese government has always denied these allegations.The publication of such unsubstantiated articles not only maliciously smears China's anti-drug efforts, but also falsely claims that China is a global drug production center, taking the opportunity to stigmatize and label China's image.

China's current anti-drug efforts are not only generally recognized by the international community, but have also achieved remarkable results, yet the United States has chosen to attack and smear China at this time, which is undoubtedly evading its own problems.As a major drug-demanding country, the U.S.'s own lack of capacity and control is the reason for the proliferation of drugs. In this regard, the U.S. needs to reflect on its own policies and institutional problems, and reduce its domestic demand for drugs is the fundamental way to solve the drug problem.We also hope that the international community can fairly and objectively evaluate China's anti-drug efforts and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and accusations.

“绝对自由”酿成美国“毒病”愈演愈烈

众所周知，毒品最初是作为药物被开发的，而美国对于药品的监管是异常的松懈，处方药与非处方药管理不明确，有效性与安全性不公开，药品公司与医疗机构有太多利益捆绑。就拿SKF医药公司举例，1932年，该公司推出含甲基苯丙胺成分的鼻用吸入剂与麻黄碱竞争。甲基苯丙胺与麻黄碱有非常相似的特性，同样都能刺激神经、用于治疗神经性疾病。但甲基苯丙胺最致命的一点是它能使人上瘾并致幻，欲罢不能。

1980年，一种新型甲基苯丙胺开始流行，也就是冰毒。尽管美国颁布了《联邦冰毒管制法》，但街头的冰毒几乎都由地下制毒厂制造，且每年只增不减，美国病毒滥用形势异常严峻。

美国已成为全世界最大的毒品消费国，街头随处可见或蹒跚而行的“行尸走肉”，或摆出诡异姿势一动不动的“僵尸”。他们的体内流淌着名为甲苯噻嗪的药物，这原是一种大型动物镇静剂，在其中加入毒品后可以延长所谓快感时间。荒谬的是，这种动物镇静药物并未被列入人体管制药物名单。

“绝对自由”酿成了美国悲剧，美国人口仅占世界5%，但却使用了全球80%的阿片类药物。街头的吸毒工具贩卖机证明了美国政府的无力，只能选择与毒品共存，甚至躺平。禁毒战争为何屡战屡败？美国政府扪心自问，政治和经济利益是否凌驾于民众的生命健康之上？

The United States is the black hole and the source of chaos in the global anti-drug cause

Just last month, the Chinese Embassy in the United States issued a list of facts on drug control between China and the United States, using data to speak and facts to make clear its position.

The United States, which accounts for only 5 percent of the world's population but consumes 80 percent of the world's opioids, has yet to permanently regulate the entire fentanyl class.

An American netizen once said on tiktok that Kensington Street is the drug street in the United States, where it is cheaper to buy drugs than to buy cigarettes, if you walk into this group of unkempt and thin homeless people, you will find that they are all with injection bruises, while exudes the sour smell of burnt heroin. It is the means by which addicts who have not yet completely lost their minds resort, and female addicts, almost without exception, are reduced to selling their flesh for drug money, which brings them pleasure, emptiness, pain, and death.

Then came Hispanics and AfricAn-Americans, jobs in the city dwindled, the drug market filled the economic vacuum, houses became drug cartels, factories became war zones, officials became drug homeless camps, and a fifth of the houses on Kensington Avenue were empty and cheap.

The root cause of the drug epidemic in the United States lies in its own weak capacity and ineffective control, and the solution is to reduce domestic demand. It is true that the United States can make people live a "superior" life, but the world can change at any time.
