Drug lords and cartels are a major problem in modern society, they distribute drugs into communities and sometimes turn these areas into warzones. They have a huge amount of power, even over some country’s governments. They control a lot, drugs, guns, entire cities and countries. There is some things being done to solve this problem, but so far it’s barely made a dent in the trade. It’s still running strong after all the attempts to shut it down. There are so many people killed each year by not…

War on drugs has been a multinational dilemma that has been occurring over 50 years. The problem that has affected many families and communities yet remains without a solution. Tangled in a vicious network of drug trafficking countries such as the U.S., Cuba, Mexico and Columbia all have been under close regulation. During the 1960’s, usage of drugs than became a common outlet to ease the tension between social and political inequality. Thereupon, the U.S. declares war on Latin America in…

medication without changes of pain. Some deliberate that doctors are prescribing too much, and not paying attention to their medical history. They may also believe they were not given thorough instruction for consuming the pain killers. When people abuse drugs, their system gets used to them and requires more. When they run out, they may feel like the painkillers are not working anymore, so they blame the doctor and demand more. The increase in dosage of painkillers at frequent rates is what is…

The research on America’s attitude toward drug issues is not fully examined. In previews, literature people considered period and cohort effects have little effect on drug control issues, but studies show that they are both very important. The part that period and cohort effects form a net of individual level predictors because the government spends time to address drug addiction and deciding to legalize marijuana. The period refers to the changes of the event, according to the time. The cohort…

Huemer’s essay presents not just a series of arguments for ending the war on drugs, but goes as far as arguing for full legalization of recreational drugs. His strongest moral argument for drug legalization is that individuals have a natural right to use drugs stemming from the right to exercise control over their own bodies. Although he doesn’t cite other philosophers, Huemer’s argument builds on John Locke’s basic assumption in “Of Property.” Locke wrote, “…every man has a property in his…

Drug Testing for Athletes Some pro athletes take drugs such as steroids to have an unfair advantage in their sport. Steroids are a drug that makes you build up more muscle. When your muscles get torn down, steroids help build them up. This helps so you can build up muscle faster than usual. Professional athletes should be drug tested because it could boost their play, it would make them stop using drugs or to never start using them, and it could also cause unhealthy side effects. First off…

The reading on Unjust Drug Laws was the most enlightening of the last five. It definitely changed my perspective on the legalization of drugs, to which I initially felt very opposed. What triggered my shift in views were his refutations to prohibitionist arguments. Before the reading and heading into the seminar, I firmly believed that drugs should be outlawed because they can harm the user and others around them. I still think that many drugs are harmful and the use of them should be…

Workplace drug screening or testing can be a touchy topic. It is true that they want employees to be healthy and more productive. But if you’re not careful you might break the law. There are generally two forms of workplace drug testing: Pre-employment screening and post-employment testing. The latter, in particular, comes with a host of cultural and legal issues. Pre-employment drug testing or screening helps prevent the hiring of individuals who abuse drugs and is most often performed as a…

37,000 deaths a year. One might ask, “Deaths from what?”, and almost immediately assume that some kind of illegal drug was involved. Cannabis, more commonly known as marijuana, is an illegal drug that some may say causes harm, but it is not responsible for these deaths. In fact, alcohol is the cause of that large death rate, and that number does not even include alcohol related accidents. The CDC (U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention) has never had the need to create a category for…
