STOP DRUG ADDICTION

The U.S. is spending money to stop drug abuse; this is called the "war on drugs". However, the methods used by the government are not working. . There are many proofs that the war on drugs is unreasonable. Some specific reasons that the war on drugs needs a new approach is that too much money is being spent every year compared to the number of problems solved, jails are becoming overpopulated by drug war victims, and people who have committed serious crimes do not have a place to occupy. Additionally, legal drugs that the government does not care about causes more problems than the illegal drugs they are fighting. The U.S. should find different ways to fight the war on drugs.
we often believe that the drug addicts should be sent to rehabilitation facilities in order for them to over come the need of drug but it is not suitable for all cases. Sometimes people tend to get more agitated after the rehab procedures.If not negative results pursue, then the process can be followed. If not, the victims should be sent to prison.
I believe that the person who are involved in the import and export of drugs, should be charged and should be imprisoned.

  1. Mr. Prajwal,
    I agree that if the government spent more money on treating the addiction to drugs or even gambling, whatever the addiction our society as a whole would be a better place. Less crime less disfunction and more people educated and not just thrown away in the prison system.

  2. I agree with more education because I believe the more you know the more you can grow and make better choices in life. Everyone has made mistakes in life but it is knowledge that equips us to make the right decisions. Thanks for your post.
