to protect the vital wellbeing of people, and to promote the improvement of people’s conditions; whether that be on social or economic issues. As such, I had found that neither of the main parties really appealed to me. While each had certain things which I liked, each had other positions I found repelling. I am also a teetotaler, who opposes intoxicants, because intoxicants are a poison to the person, their mind, and character. Intoxication is immoral, irrational, self-destructive, and harmful to both the user and humanity a large. A sensible and civilized society should not allow such poison, and do what it can to combat its use, and to dismantle the greedy industries…

drugs to get them. Even Caroline said it’s much easier for someone in high school like her to get drugs than alcohol. All of the laws against selling these drugs are what makes it so profitable for anyone to do. Illegal drugs are so easy and affordable to sell because the suppliers aren’t taxed, they don’t have to pay for advertising, packaging, insurance, employee benefits, or quality control. The main character in the movie is Robert Wakefield, a judge that the White House promotes to the new…

Drug Wars: Positive Or Negative? Retired policeman Tony Ryan declares, “While we definitely have a problem with drugs in this country, we definitely have to have a change in the policy,” (Richard, 1). Drugs are defined as a broad base of substances with psychoactive effects divided into four categories which include tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, and other drugs. Many currently illegal drugs, such as marijuana, coca, and psychedelics, have been used for thousands of years for both medical and…

recreational drugs. The laws currently in place restrict the use of recreational drugs. In this paper, there will be a discussion about what drug liberalization is, what liberalization would look like in Canada, the pros, and cons of this change, and what policies are currently in place that affects recreational drug use. For the sake of understanding, when the term ‘drugs’ is used in this paper, it is in reference to recreational or currently illicit drugs that are created for the purpose of…

openly congregate in such large displays of rebellion to the common practice, and certainly not with President Reagan leading the anti-drug battalion. With the stigma of insatiable partying, and affiliation with the opposing side of the war on drugs, the rave scene was forced underground where it stayed until the societal bodies weighed the pros and cons (likely noting the apparent hypocrisy of death rates attributable to tobacco and alcohol that staggeringly out number illicit drugs) and…

Obama admitted that he once smoke pot when he was younger, ending in a result he didn’t like. Even with that being said, he mentioned it was no worse than someone who has smoked cigarettes at a young age. It is said that the use of drugs is a habit that develops over the course of using them. It was said that the people sentencing others to jail for using drugs have also once used them too, and the executive branch is looking to reduce drug user’s sentences. Ethan Nadelmann, a worker for the…

called this type economic compulsive. The third type is called systemic, crimes that are related to black market. These homicides are the results of violence that sometimes break out in illegal Black markets, where financial dangers are often huge, but where the parties have no resources to legal means of dispute revolution. “The overwhelming majority of drug-related homicides in the New York City at the peak of the crack “epidemic” had to do with the dangers of doing business in a black market…

Should We Re-legalize Drugs? Drug abuse kills nearly 200,000 people a year. With that said, why should all drugs be legal? First off, regardless if drugs are illegal, individuals will always use marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs. In the article “Should We Re-legalize Drugs? A Statement by the Libertarian Party.” it states that most of today’s illegal drugs were legal before 1914 and cocaine was even found in the Coca Cola recipe. Making drugs illegal will only create more crimes and…

society would decrease the dangers and side affects associated with them. Drug policy in Sweden during the 70’s focused primarily on trafficking and smuggling rather than arresting users and people were legally allowed to carry up to 20 grams of hash. Then things began to shift, in the 80’s drug policy changed from more permissive to restrictive and waivers for small amounts of narcotic drugs were not allowed anymore. People started to realize that they could be in serious trouble for being…

the trafficking of marijuana when one can safely purchase it in the U.S. without fueling more violence and deaths both in the U.S. and Mexico. With the current laws when someone purchases illegal cannabis he/she is indirectly encouraging more beheadings and shootings. Moreover, most of the marijuana that is smuggled into the U.S. ends up in very impoverished areas that are predominantly Black and Latino. Marijuana ends up in these poor minority neighborhoods and the war on marijuana becomes…
