Across the Nation, the fight against drugs has become an epidemic. They are in every city, and almost every school. The people using are getting younger and younger, and trying strong drugs as their first choice. Where did the days of childhood playing go? While it is peoples own decision to use drugs, they are killing the human race and must be stopped. Do you think enough Americans understand and support these addicts getting help? The citizens need to open their hearts and minds to help get this problem under control; the Government cannot do it alone. There are several issues it is creating, along with ruining potential future lives. Did you know that Heroin alone is killing around 100 people per day, as stated by the Washington Post?

Is it because they have a hand in it, or simply because we do not have the resources at this time? Our men and woman are overseas, and our country is so far in debt that their hands are tied. I have often wondered if the Government does benefit from the problem of drugs worldwide. Instead of offering a solid plan to help these addicts completely stop the use, they are offering safe and legal facilities for users to still get high. These Methadone clinics are becoming overpopulated because the addicts are using them to their own advantages. It is the same with these Suboxen clinics, only I have read that the addicts are turning around and selling this for money to purchase harder drugs. I may be all for these clinics if they setup a proper plan to help these people get completely clean, but it is nothing so far but a promised daily high. I have also read that the Government has in no way put a stronger hold on this terrible war. I know we are low on resources, but I feel some of them are being wasted on small issues. For every one car that is stopped at the Mexican border, at least 15 other cars get by with bigger loads. The drug cartel does this to get around our system. I strongly feel that this is one area we need to focus more attention too. I also feel the punishment should be harsher for reoffending addicts because they are being slapped on the wrist and …show more content…
A family is built on love, trust, honesty, and being there for each other no matter what. I have personally seen drugs ruin every one of these. The trust is lost because lies start, then stealing soon follows. The lies that are told eventually surface and wipe out all honesty you believed from that person. And the part we all love about family, being there for each other and together, begins to get even harder. I have seen and read how a family will only try to help for so long. They will eventually distance themselves, and it is not out of hate. They have simply learned how to protect themselves for the drugs infecting their loved one. It is pain to have someone you love, lie and steal from you without thought or hesitation. Children are losing one, if not both, parents to the fight against drugs. I recently had a friend lose the father of her children, and her younger sister to drug overdoses. She is also an addict. I am hoping that she finds the path to recovery, because she is all her children have left. Even teenagers are being left to fend for themselves because the parents are partying more than the kids are these days. There are so many young teenagers dropping out of school to work because their parents are gone. American families are being ripped apart because these terrible drugs and the horrible disease of addiction. This is the main reason I would love to
