    Drug Use During Teenage Pregnancy

    Drug use has become so rampant in our community that it has almost become a norm for us, but the one thing that I believe that the nation as a whole is having an issue coming to terms with accepting or approving the idea of pregnant or nursing mother using drugs either licit or illicit drugs during their pregnancy or nursing period. The knowledge or idea of a pregnant mother using drugs during their pregnancy mostly frowns upon not only for its moral significance but also health wise. If a female is using drug during her pregnancy, I believe that it is common sense that the child would either be addicted to that drug or the mother might experience some birthing issues and the child can be faced with some form of birth deformity all which can be avoided if the mother made the conscious decision of thinking about the effects that the drug can have on either her or her unborn child.…

    Legalization Of Marijuana Essay

    Marijuana has, compared to other both legal and illegal drugs, low effects on the human body. “No death from marijuana overdose has ever been reported and the ill effects of alcohol, nicotine, and prescription painkillers (...) vastly overweight those of marijuana” ( Ingraham, Janet. “Lee, Martin A. Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana--Medical, Recreational, and Scientific”). Research has also shown that marijuana “ use does not lead to physical dependence, and there are no withdrawal symptoms when the drug is not discontinued” (“drug use” Britannica School.
