WAR ON DRUGS

Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking

and use despite adverse consequences. It is considered a brain disorder, because it involves
functional changes to brain circuits involved in reward, stress, and self-contro
Drug addiction is one of the biggest problems of people today, especially among young people
who are addicted to illegal drugs and it has a bad effect on people and the industry, many young
people are addicted and do bad things because of illegal drugs
The disadvantages of war on drugs to the country are five which are; Corruption, Increased racial
tension, Hides the real problem behind drug abuse and distribution, Never-ending cycle,
Increases risk for policeman and military, and lastly is disparity in sentencing. The same people
who are assigned to stop the drug trade may be the same person who used the funds for their
own profits and its resulted to corruption. Other country may think that we are all the same
because we are all Filipinos and it resulted to increasing racial tension. War on drugs also hides
the real problem behind drug abuse and distribution. The majority of people who used and sell
drugs are within or below the poverty. When they do not afford to go to school and well-paying job
the simplest and profitable thing to do is to involve with drugs. It is also a never ending cycle
because many people who are behind bars for drug related charges have children, and some of
them were do what their parents do to survive. It increases the risk for policeman and military
because some of the addicts are well armed and it resulted in killings. The last disadvantages of
war on drugs is disparity in sentencing,because people complain that sentencing in drug-related
crimes has major flaws. As well as racially discriminatory as minorities tend to use certain drugs
over others and carry a bigger penalty. Therefore I conclude that there is a lot of things that we
can do to eliminate all the crimes in our country aside of implementing this war on drug. Some of
the innocents are doesn’t deserve to be punished are affected by this war on drugs.
Addiction is a bad habit in our lives, a recurring disorder characterized by the compulsive use of
drugs despite bad consequences. It is a brain disorder that involves functional changes in our
lives, stress, and self-control. Drug addiction is a major problem, particularly among young people,
that affects society and industry. The war on drugs has five disadvantages: corruption, increasing
racial tension, hiding the real problem behind the abuse and distribution of drugs to the young or
elderly, creating a group of endless passing of drugs, increased risk for police and military, and
disparity in sentencing. Corruption and racial tension can result from the same people assigned
to stop the drug trade, increasing the risk for the police and military. Addressing these issues is
very important to eliminate all crime in the country.
