Street drugs can be very harmful to a body if they are not aware of the effects of what they are and what
they can to do it. To show how street drugs can damage a body and why these drugs need to be off the street,
children at young ages need to be taught what these different types of drugs are and the meanings of them.
This should be taught throughout all schools including colleges because even college people are able to be
under pressure and feel the need to try and find a way to keep up with their schooling. In the end it only hurts
their minds and could even worse end them up in much more trouble. Our goal would be to find …show more content…
Harry Jacob Aslinger, who helped make the United States Drug Policy from (1930-1962) (King, and
McDonough, JR, 2001), was a part of developing the drug policy because he saw what morphine had done to
his neighbor lady when he was a young child and it made a lifelong impression on him that made him want
to do something about it. When he was old enough he went to college and worked for the railroads part-

If a teen or pre-teen can keep from smoking a cigarette before they are 21, the less likely they are to do
other types of street drugs. Marijuana is much more harmful than cigarette smoke because the body inhales
deeper into the lungs and holds it longer to get the feeling they are supposed to get from the effects of it.
Marijuana can also cause cancer because it is smoke going into the lungs. Marijuana can affect the bodies’
ability for distance and decision making so hopefully a person does not drive. Marijuana can stay in the
system up to and after 24 hours of inhaling it and it can affect the brain and mobility. Most people take this
because they are under stress at school or work. Marijuana is illegal in the United States as well. “Here is a
