week 7 DRUGS

We all know people who do drugs. I think that they need an intervention. It is sad when there has to even be a show dedicated to people who need interventions because they are so addicted to the drugs. There are so many drugs now-a-days and too many places that kids and teens are able to get them. All kids are taught at a young age not to do drugs. There is even a program in most public schools called D.A.R.E. this acronym stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. I know a lot of kids that were in this program when they were younger that now do drugs; so how can we stop kids from doing drugs when they become older?
Drugs can be used for a good thing when it is a medical problem and when they are prescribed by a doctor. Also one drug can have many different affects depending on the way it was administered. I think that our government or law enforcement needs to crack down harder on these people. They are not only harming themselves, but also, the people that care about them. If one were to watch the TV. show, Intervention you can see that just by one person doing drugs it hurts and it affects many people in the process. The only problem is that the law enforcement usually only focuses on major cities. It is sad when towns like Pekin are known for drug use or drug labs. So how can we as citizens help stop drug use?
