Drugs Effects On Society

Growing up I’m pretty sure you have heard and seen on the news or around your local neighborhoods, people with drugs or have of different drugs growing up and learning about them in school. You’ve probably always wonder, why are drugs so bad? Or maybe, why do people sell drugs or abuse them? Those questions are very interesting and I’ve wondered the same thing growing up. Drugs have been issued throughout the world for many years now. The use of them has contributed to deaths and individuals who sell them have gotten life due to the crime.

More than likely, you may have heard on El Chapo or Pablo Escobar. You may have heard someone talking about them, you may have learned about them in school or you may have seen many movies and documentaries

It is basically a systematic, step process that prohibits the use of drugs as well as the distribution of the drugs by controlling the imports, manufactures and the use of the drugs. The war on drugs has been a continuing struggle for a few decades now. For these many years, many people have been trying to convince others that drugs are not good, understanding that this is true due to research analysis, drugs are harmful to the human body but does it make it right for abusing drugs to be a crime? However, I do agree that the war on drugs has had a negative impact on society than it had any good on society. Did you know that we spend over $50 billion dollars a year trying to obliterate drug entirely? That’s a lot of money that we in the United States do not have. The war on drugs is honestly a barrier. Meaning, why waste time on something that you can’t really wipe out? Although drugs are harmful to humans, some drugs aren’t as harmful, but some drugs that may be harmful are sometimes useful. It's not so much about the drug, its more on how the people use the drugs and how the drugs are being imported and exported from country to country. If we’ve spent over $50 billion one year on illiticing drugs, and we haven’t gotten anywhere, then, how much will it take to fully wipe out of the drugs? The United States are already in debt, every second we as a country go into debt. Instead of trying to illicit drugs out of the United States. Maybe we should just try something that would actually help our country. Like, producing and providing less drugs and less equipment to make the drugs. The legalization of drugs would lead into so many issues that I or no one else may couldn’t even explain it all. If drugs are already harming our people by drug overdose, drug abuse, and criminal activities due to drugs then imagine what would happen if Congress legalizes drugs.
