    Counter Pharmacist Satire

    Thank you for your comment Brian, I love that you brought up this rather new phenomenon going on with over the counter pharmaceuticals! It's little more then a nuisance for the law abiding non substance abusers. Yet for the folks who had been abusing the industry, traveling around to secondary pharmacy's getting their prescriptions illegally refilled, helps me justify this. I recently had to pick up a prescription for my father, and the pharmacist ringing me up asked me for his birthday. Now this was my first introduction with the new system, you'd think I was at a bar and the waiter just asked to see my ID.…

    Across the United States, opioid addiction - and overdose deaths - has increased exponentially. With this in mind, it is extremely important that citizens today keep up to date with the drug dilemma that has rocked our country to the very core. It’s a nationwide epidemic, and without proper education on the subject, the population as a whole - especially teens whose minds aren’t fully developed - may go on to use drugs without knowing truly how dangerous they are. For instance, one very dangerous and illegal drug is also an opioid - heroin. No one wants this to continue, for the consequences are devastating.…

    In our modern era, drugs and technology play increasingly progressive roles. Their presence can bring about positive changes, like medical breakthroughs or long-distance communication, but they also may elicit severe repercussions. If people, from politicians to scientists, begin to abuse substances, humanity may suffer. It can be extremely difficult to understand these dynamics, but Aldous Huxley is one such author who examines the significance and potential of these instruments. In Brave New World, the protagonist, John, having been born on a savage reservation, is introduced to World State, whose motto of “community, identity, [and] stability” is contradictory to the actions they promote.…

    Satire On Drugs

    • 1200 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In the United States something as simple as a drug possession charge can get you into serious trouble, with some offenses even marked as felonies. (Controlled Substances Act, 2014) This is a ludicrous idea, drug crimes are usually victimless, restricting drug usage violates basic human rights, and even tobacco and alcohol are legal. In addition to these things, putting drug charges on a person’s criminal record, or sending someone to jail on drug charges pushes more people to a life of crime. For these reasons, I believe that people should not be punished for using drugs.…

    Drug Testing Satire

    “ 'Cause it 's the first of the month and now we smokin ', chokin ', rollin ' blunts” is a line from rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s song “1st of Tha Month”, telling how welfare recipients collect their benefits at the beginning of each month, only to go and purchase illegal substances (i.e. drugs): but how much of this holds true? (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony). Controversy has been stirred in recent years over this hot political topic of whether or not welfare recipients should be tested for drug use. Proponents of testing those of whom are on government benefits cite the fact that taxpayer dollars should not be going towards people who will merely be using the money to buy and use drugs. Opponents, however, argue that the drug testing is too…
