Drugs the Brain Killers!


Drugs are plants and herbs that were supposed to be used for medicinal purposes but some where down the line someone got it twisted and began to use drugs for pleasure. Slowly, drugs became more and more popular until it finally spread across the seas and began to infect our whole planet. Many people use drugs in the wrong way and end up hurting themselves in the process. Drugs have darkened our communities and made many people afraid to step outside.

Drugs have also claimed many lives, both young and old. Drugs are addictive and can lead to madness to the point were you would steal, or kill family members just for a sniff of drugs. People often kill or threaten people, even family, because of unpaid money or an argument related to drugs. Many gang wars have been started due to a wrong shipment of drugs. There are five types of main drugs people get caught using: heroin, cocaine, synthetic drugs, marijuana, crystal meth, hashish. The most common one is marijuana as stated in the Bureau of Justice and Statistics. Drugs can turn even the most decent of people into drug-crazy killers.

Statistics show that over 15 million adults have gone to jail over drug abuse and a little over 200 thousand of them were young people. Not everyone involved with drugs goes to jail just for drug abuse, but also for dealing the brain killers on the streets of many cites to people, including children. Young children are being introduced to drugs and it becomes embedded into their system. Ethnic groups are being stereotyped because of drugs and this is causing people in these groups to be viewed differently or not even be able to get a high paying job.

Drugs cause death in more than one way; the more you smoke, the more you kill healthy cells, damaging your lungs and brain. In the long run, drugs could even cause muscle problems, shorten your life, or cause a lot of suffering in your old age. The government isn’t doing enough to prevent its people from these problems caused by drugs. The government is too focused on the war in Iraq and the oil; it doesn’t seem to care what happens to the people here in the United States because it lets the drug problem continue. There are too many people ending up dead in the street due to drug abuse and the government needs to do more to stop it.
