2nd themed-post: Accidents you've had

Hi all!

this week´s topic is one that you chose: accidents.

Well, as long as I remember the first accident I had was when I was around 8 eight years old; I was in a school recess when one boy accidentally pushed me and I fell on the floor hitting my head against the corner of a wall. Immediately I went to the restroom and I realized I was bleeding! My best friend came back to the school yard and beat the boy! Afterwards I was sent to the hospital and had some stitches.

The day before the accident

Years later, when I was a university student and I worked for a call center, I had a bike accident. I used to ride my bike to work and when I was arriving I fell on the pavement...I don't remember quite well what happened but I was sent to the hospital in a ambulance, which was weird, and I had x-rays and other tests; at the end I had a long sick leave and some stitches on my lip (very uncomfortable).
Finally the last accident I had was about eight years ago while I was climbing down a mountain covered with ice: I slipped and thanks to a partner who stopped me, I survived. I had some bruises around my nose, I was lucky.
What about you?
Any accidents?
Have you ever been taken to the hospital?

A photograph you like

I must confess that I like to take pictures, and most of the times I'm the person in charge when there's a celebration or something like that...everyone in my family expects me to take pictures (which is a little bit sad... I don't appear in many pictures). That could be the reason that it was complicated to choose one picture. Anyway I chose this one which was taken during September holidays, it's a selfie with my son, behind us there's a waterfall. That day we were visiting a big park and in that moment we were in the aviary. The reason I like it, it's because my son looks crazy and I hope that he never loses the spontaneity that characterizes childhood. Even though I think I don't look well  in the picture, I'm sure that if I see it again in 10 years I'm going to remember the good times we had in that travel.

Drugs

If I had to talk about drugs in general and the connection they have with medical treatments, I should only write about one: cannabis…why? First because it is a plant, and as far as I know it is the only “drug” that has been proven to have positive effects on different diseases and painful symptoms. I could say that I support the idea that people who suffer painful diseases have the right to use cannabis to relief the pain, instead of taking traditional medication which has several side effects, high cost and are not a real and effective solution for chronic diseases. Fortunately, today we can see a growing trend of acceptance of marijuana for its medical purposes. 

Regarding the recreational use, I think that some other legal substances are more dangerous to health than cannabis, for example alcohol: we all know that alcohol consumption is a big problem nowadays, basically because it starts at a very early age and is highly addictive and hard to control, we all know that buying alcoholic drinks is very easy, even though when you are a minor. Moreover, the alcohol causes traffic accidents, domestic violence, etc. the important thing here is that human beings shouldn’t need to use substances to feel better or happier or look cooler, but the use of natural substances has to be allowed in case ill people need them because they are physically suffering, and that’s the best option they have to improve the quality of their daily lives.

what do you think? do you agree with the medical use of drugs? what's your opinion about hard drugs? and what about legal drugs like alcohol?
