Drugs

Ok so I think drugs are bad, and what worries me is the more and more relaxed
view some of our younger generation seem to have of drugs. This was evident to me during the
annonymous slip "confessions" in the class. Its not only the health reasons that are "bad" with drugs but also the effects they can have on families and society as a whole. If someone looks at areas where the consumption of drugs is higher than the sourrounding area, almost immediatley one would be able to find higher violence and crime rates in that area. Are there really any "good" points with drugs....

I suppose the feeling that they give can be seen as positive, even if they are short lived.
Also drugs unfortunetley has become a main source of income for many individuals and families in the world who perhaps have no other means of income and can't make a living without it.
