When I was twelve years old I read the Harry Potter saga, and the end I knew what the thirst for reading. I went through periods when I read a lot and finished every book I read, but nowadays, I keep being interested for readin by but acquired a bad habit: left unfinished books, because beginning to read many books both. For example, now I read three books, but one (Blindness) stayed on the road and i think I’ll finish. Is very interesting but saw the movie and know the end took my interest.

A book I am a bit of finish is “Homeless of Dharma” of Jack Kerouac. Is a book which has the beginnings of the author in the buddhist philosophy and a lifestyle traveler only by moving “autostop”. Is very entertaining, above all for people who are interested in the phylosophy eastern.

My favourite writer is Mario Benedetti and Eduardo Galeano, both uruguayan jorunalist.

 http://santiagotimes.cl/opinion/special-reports/25227-drug-reform-in-chile-legalize-it

The article deals with the state of drug policy in Chile and attempts to legalize marijuana to combat drug trafficking. The author points out this topic because in the last U.N. General Assembly the presidents of Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia expressed for combating drug trafficking but in the same assembly the chilean Minister Alfredo Moreno did not address the issue because vthe drug is not an urgent... or so say politicians, contrary to what people believe, as shown in internet voting drug reform is the most popular initiative in Congress. 

The reform which seeks to institutionalize the self-cultivation of marijuana therapeutic purposes the raised in July the senators Fulvio Rossi and Ricardo Lagos Weber. The drug expert, Eduardo Vergara, difine the situation of Chile as paradigmatic because monetary despite efforts spent annually on the "war on drugs" the drug traffickers are increasingly might.

But the project does not move forward because there is no national consensus on the harmful effects of the marijuana in the health. Organizations like the SENDA consider it a gateway drug to more dangerous. Believe it may also cause schizophrenia, psychotic problems and respiratory diseases.
At any rate, Nelson Avila presented a bill to Congress calling for the legalization of cultivation and possession of cannabis, looking policies of other countries that have already solved this issue as Uruguay.
