A
The consequences of drug abuse are very devastating to individuals and to society as a whole. This often causes one to think critically in regards to drug laws and policies. According to Wade, Tavris, and Garry (2014), some legalized drugs, such as coffee, alcohol, and tobacco, have just as many harmful side effects as those that have been deemed illegal. What do you think? Does legalizing certain drugs send the wrong messages to our youth? For instance, should doctors prescribe marijuana if it can ease the pain of certain illnesses? By doing such, is our society condoning drug usage?

Legalization of any drug does not render it harmless. I think that if they legal certain drugs then the control of how it is dispensed becomes a little more manageable. People that abuse any drug will always find a way to get the drugs they want legal or not. Making drugs legal does not condone its abuse or its use, alcohol is legal but there are still many groups against its use and their are millions of people that abuse it still. If it becomes legal to use marijuana in a recreational capacity it will still be abused, the main difference is the people that could use it for medicinal use would no longer be breaking the law.
