«We cannot ignore the evil intentions and actions of drug dealers and traffickers: they are murderers. Having known many tragic stories of drug addicts and their families, I am convinced that it is morally necessary to put an end to the production and trafficking of these dangerous substances."
The Pope said this in the general audience, dedicated to the World Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which occurs today.
«How many traffickers of death are there, because drug traffickers are traffickers of death, driven by the logic of power and money at any cost! This plague, which produces violence and sows suffering and death, requires an act of courage from society as a whole", stated Francis, according to whom "a reduction in drug addiction is not achieved by liberalizing their consumption", this is a fantasy, «as has been proposed, or already implemented, in some countries. It is liberalized and more consumed."
