I had the opportunity to go to the speaker on the Friday of Oktoberfest to learn about alcohol and its effects on the body and mind. These speakers brought up a great deal of information on alcohol, addiction, and how it effects the people surrounding this environment. One of the largest discussed concerns is the difference in drinking and use of drugs in society today in comparison to our parents’ generation. The first huge difference was in how much people drink now. It used to be that when…

We all know that tobacco kills humans. Whether it is Bidis, Cigars, Kreteks, Dissolvable tobacco, Shisha tobacco, Pipe tobacco, or Smokeless tobacco, it all kills humans. On October 15, 1492, Mr. Columbus was granted dried tobacco from the Native Americans. The Native Americans of the US considered tobacco plants as an inheritance from the Great Spirit, and they used it in their religious practice sessions.

From my perspective, I belive that the discovery of amphetamines, tobacco and oxycodone has a big effect on some of the substance abuse issues in today’s society.

There are no warning signs informing the consumer of the addictions to the use of the drug, which has amphetamine in it. As a counselor, I would advocate to warner each consumer…

By legalizing certain drugs, the authority makes sure it is safer for the population than when it is sold in the black market. In fact, in the black market, people do not really know what they are buying and in what quantity because it is filled with a lot of damageable chemicals. By controlling the product, the government make sure it is purer and has better a label, which can considerably decrease the risk of involuntary overdose (Szasz, 323).

Marijuana legalization or “pot” has become a hot topic over the last century in the United States. With many states legalizing its use for medical healing properties but also for pure recreation. It has been considered by some to be the drug of century, providing benefits such as freezing cancer cells to slow the spreading process, easing major and minor pains of the body, helping those with glaucoma, and even reducing some patients with seizures to a stopping point. Not only is this drug…
