Based on the expierience and knowledge I have toward drugs, drug use, and the effects of, I have conclued that legalizing non-medicinal drugs would be be wrong.
The capability these days to aquire drugs are very high. It’s now possible to mail order drugs, get them in parties, cities, rural areas, malls, street sidewalks, anywhere, really. Therefore why should you need them to become 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 payde 2
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 When the public realized that Prohibition could not be enforced the law was repealed.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 payde 3
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
payde 4
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.
