The Benefits Of Legalized Drugs
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Of all the hotly debated topics looming over society today, there is one that has divided friends, family and lawmakers alike: the notion of legalizing drugs as a means by which to lower the crime rate and reduce the inherent negativity associated with drugs. To legalize drugs would be to remove the temptation that surrounds the act of drug taking; it would eliminate the need for black markets, robbery, murder and all the other insidious elements connected with illicit drug use. People would be left to their own accord as to how much and when they consumed without the infiltration of law enforcement authorities, enabling the crime rate to drop considerably and finally establishing societies where drugs are not at the root of virtually all criminal activity. The writer discusses the benefits of drug legalization, as well as addresses how well this platform has worked in Amsterdam. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Facts on Heroin -- What parents Must Know:
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses for at least the past three decades, the American public has had to face the fact that heroin is every bit as terrifyingly dangerous as the scare stories told in attempts to keep the baby boom generation away from it. Other destructive and terrifying drugs, such as crack cocaine, have moved to the forefront of the general consciousness. Nonetheless, heroin has maintained its position as one of the world’s most dangerous drugs. That position has been strengthened by the fact that heroin use has risen rapidly in recent years among American teenagers, with many middle-class teens snorting the drug in the mistaken belief that it is less addictive ingesting it that way than shooting up. In fact, the proportion of American 12th-graders who had used heroin doubled between 1990 and 1996. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
