The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should
get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for
them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs.
Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might
accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will
still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.

Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is
better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and
wholesalers should be imprisoned.

8. Most drug users get drugs from ...

A. Jails

B. Peddlers

C. Traffickers

9. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...

A. They can't consume harmful drugs.

B. They are treated normally.

C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.
