Should Drugs Be Made Legal?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For several decades drugs have been one of the major problems of
|
|||
|
|
society. There have been escalating costs spent on the war against drugs
|
|||
|
|
and countless dollars spent on rehabilitation, but the problem still
|
|||
|
|
exists. Not only has the drug problem increased but drug related problems
|
|||
|
|
are on the rise. Drug abuse is a killer in our country. Some are born
|
|||
|
|
addicts(crack babies), while others become users. The result of drug
|
|||
|
|
abuse is thousands of addicts in denial. The good news is the United States
|
|||
|
|
had 25,618 total arrests and 81,762 drug seizures due to drugs in 1989
|
|||
|
|
alone, but the bad news is the numbers of prisoners have increased by 70
|
|||
|
|
percent which will cost about $30 million dollars. Despite common wisdom,
|
|||
|
|
the U.S isn't experiencing a drug related crime wave. Government surveys
|
|||
|
|
show between 1980 - 1987 burglary rates fell 27 percent, robbery 21
|
|||
|
|
percent and murders 13 percent, but with new drugs on the market these
|
|||
|
|
numbers are up. One contraversial solution is the proposal of legalizing
|
|||
|
|
drugs. Although people feel that legalizing drugs would lessen crime,
|
|||
|
|
drugs should remain illegal in the U.S because there would be an increase
|
|||
|
|
of drug abuse and a rapid increase of diseases such as AIDS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many believe that legalizing drugs would lessen crime. They point out
|
|||
|
|
that the legalization of drugs would deter future criminal acts. They also
|
|||
|
|
emphasize and contrast Prohibition. When the public realized that
|
|||
|
|
Prohibition could not be enforced the law was repealed. From this, one
|
|||
|
|
may infer the same of legalizing drugs. Legalizing alcohol didn't increase
|
|||
|
|
alcoholism, so why would drugs increase drug abuse?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, drugs should not be legalized because there would be an
|
|||
|
|
increase in drug abuse due to its availability. Once legalized, drugs
|
|||
|
|
would become cheaper and more accessible to people who previously had not
|
|||
|
|
tried drugs, because of the high price or the legal risk. Drug abuse would
|
|||
|
|
skyrocket! Addicts who tend to stop, not by choice, but because the drugs
|
|||
|
|
aren't accessible would now feed the addiction if drugs were made legal.
|
|||
|
|
These drug addicts would not be forced to kick the habit due to the
|
|||
|
|
availability of the drug they would partake eagerly. The temptation to use
|
|||
|
|
drugs would increase when advertisements for cocaine, heroin and marijuana
|
|||
|
|
are displayed on television. Instead of money used by employed addicts, you
|
|||
|
|
will see welfare funds used to purchase drugs. If welfare funds were being
|
|||
|
|
misused, this would cause a major problem in the economy. Drugs must not
|
|||
|
|
be legalized. It puts our country at a terrible risk.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Health officials have shown that the legalization of drugs would cause
|
|||
|
|
a rapid increase of diseases such as AIDS. AIDS poses a growing threat to
|
|||
|
|
addicts, and thus to society as a whole. The virus that causes AIDS is
|
|||
|
|
growing, due to drug addicts who share needles and syringes. The sharing
|
|||
|
|
of such needles by intravenous drug users helps increase the spread of
|
|||
|
|
AIDS. "Infection among IV drug abusers is continuing to occur at a very
|
|||
|
|
steady rate," warn Richard E. Chaisson director of the AIDS service at John
|
|||
|
|
Hopkins University. In the U.S gay men still make up the primary risk
|
|||
|
|
group, although 750,000 to 1 million drug addicts are believed to be at
|
|||
|
|
risk to AIDS nationally. The problem here is the sharing of needles, which
|
|||
|
|
is causing the spread of AIDS. IV drug abusers are killing our nation at
|
|||
|
|
an amazingly fast speed. AIDS which surfaced in the 80's is now on the
|
|||
|
|
rise and even more deadly to IV drug users. The sharing of needles must be
|
|||
|
|
stopped. Drugs should not be legalized.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Although people feel that legalizing drugs would lessen crime, drugs
|
|||
|
|
should remain illegal in the U.S because there would be an increase of drug
|
|||
|
|
abuse and a rapid increase of diseases such as AIDS. The United States can
|
|||
|
|
not afford this problem. It has become a world power by strengthening its
|
|||
|
|
people not by killing them. Drug abuse has gotten worse, with its effects
|
|||
|
|
on crack babies, drug addicts, and the I.V user. There must be education
|
|||
|
|
for the survival of this nation, not legalization.
