There are few other social problems that are
surrounded by more myths and misinformation than
drug use. The confusion actually starts with the
meaning of the term. Many people believe that only
illegal substances such as heroin, cocaine, or
marijuana are drugs, but alcohol and tobacco alter
the minds and moods of those who use them and can
be just as dangerous as illicit drugs. Also drug
use is not limited to a few deviants on the margin
of society. Drugs are a big business: Canadians

Legalizing Drugs Drug Abuse

History of the American Drug War The first act of
Americas anti-drug laws was in 1875. It outlawed
the smoking of opium in opium dens. This was a San
Francisco ordinance. The basis on passing this law
was that Chinese men had a way of luring white
women to their dens and causing their ruin, which
was the association with Chinese men. Later, other
Federal laws such as trafficking in opium was
illegal for anyone of Chinese origin. The opium
laws were directed at the smoking of opium. The
law didnt...

War On Drugs Drug Prohibition

Should America Legalize The Federal Government,

substances illegally, interception of drugs coming
from other countries while ending all drug
cultivation in the States, and prevention of
foreign governments from growing these substances.
The idea of the Drug Prohibition surely made
sense: lower deman...

huge amount of Americans are currently being

Americans drink a beer to relax. The current
