Drug Problem? weed, cocaine, meth, heroin, acid, alcohol.

Is there a drug problem in the US? You better believe it. I was actually just talking to my mom about this tonight. Being a mother is a scary thing, especially being such a young mother and knowing what goes on in schools. I asked my mom, how do you make sure your kids stay away from drugs? It is crazy ridiculous how many people, especially young people, do drugs. As for the question of whether or not marijuana is a drug. Of course it is. It alters human thoughts, makes them "feel good", temporarily forget their problems and it leads to people trying other drugs. Almost all people who do heavier drugs than marijuana, started off with just marijuana.

I'm not sure why drugs are such a huge problem in the US, I disagree with my peers when they say that drugs are a problem because they are illegal. I feel that if drugs are legalized that will just make it ten times easier for teens and younger children to get them. Drugs are a big enough problem already, do we really want the children of our day to become a bunch of potheads, coke addicts, and meth users? I'm not sure about you, but I sure as hell don't.
