The leaflet describes the social functions of legal and illegal drugs. Alcohol generates profits and keeps the population calm. Illegal drugs also generate large profits and at the same time they keep the non-integrated parts of the population quiet. The latter not so much because of the consumption itself but because of the criminalisation that keeps the users on their toes and puts politically active people behind prison bars.

Abstract
en The leaflet describes the social functions of legal and illegal drugs. Alcohol generates profits and keeps the population calm. Illegal drugs also generate large profits and at the same time they keep the non-integrated parts of the population quiet. The latter not so much because of the consumption itself but because of the criminalisation that keeps the users on their toes and puts politically active people behind prison bars.
de Das Flugblatt beschreibt die gesellschaftlichen Funktionen legaler und illegaler Drogen. Der Alkohol generiert Gewinne und stellt die Bevölkerung ruhig. Auch aus den illegalen Drogen resultieren große Gewinne und zugleich stellen sie die auch die nicht integrierten Teile der Bevölkerung ruhig. Letzteres weniger aufgrund des Konsums selbst denn aufgrund der Kriminalisierung, die die Konsumierenden auf Trab hält und politisch aktive Personen hinter Gitter bringt.
