THE WAR ON DRUGS
The number of people arrested this year for drug law offences as of Monday December 3, 2012 was (1,541,363). That’s 13% of the total arrests this year. Law enforcement made more arrests for drug abuse violations than any outer offenses this year. also someone is arrested for violating a drug law every 19 seconds but this is a good this and someone think that these laws agents drugs is too costly and too much time and money for law enforcement and people should just be let to kill themselves. But this view is shallow and conceded to the point where there endangering themselves to saying that there’s people who are under the influence are not going to hurt the outer person but that’s just not true. People can’t control there urges and will hurt someone just for one quick a "fix". The War on Drugs plan has been working and is in effect for a very good reason. Its saved lives and saved loved ones. This plan may cost money but campaigns like "just say no" and the inclement of the D.E.A have helped a lot. . So saying that the expense outweighs the benefits is just a false allegation. This issue needs to be addressed because it’s a big part in American society and American beliefs. Health is a big factor and so is the safety of the American people.
The beginnings of this plan started in 1906. but we must look back to the turn of the 20th century when cocaine , heroin , outer narcotics, and plants was used as medical remedies as headaches to broken bone pain relief to sleeping and eating. The “medicine" even tested. It was not regulated either and most consumers had no idea what it was and most sellers didn't know either. So not taking some thing or just letting nature run its course would have been the smart thing to do because even in small amours the drugs could kill you in an instant. Or you get a fake medicine that wouldn’t do a single thing for you because it was
