Are illegal drugs worse for society as a whole than legal drugs?
A drug is a substance that makes artificial changes to your body or mind and can have
both positive and negative effects
...
They each have a
different classification depending on how strong it is, for example LSD is Class A, codeine
is Class B, magic mushrooms are Class C and so on
...
On the other hand, there are
legal drugs too such as tobacco, alcohol and paracetamol
...
However just because they
are legal, doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to be any safer than an illegal drug
...
For example heroin is made from a substance called morphine, extracted
from an opium poppy to kill pain and give a warm and relaxing feeling to the user
...
First intakes can trigger nausea and lack of coordination to the user but can be
highly addictive and people can get hooked even after only trying it once
...
Overdoses and inhaling heroin can break down you immune systems which can lead to
illness, comas, and in some cases: death
...
As a result of all this, heroin is an illegal Class A drug
because it is dangerous for the user- therefore, it is used less by society and, although
still a common crime sanctioned by police across the country every day, is now not so
much as a problem in comparison to other drugs; especially the legal ones
...
For instance, alcohol is a currently a massive issue in
the UK when it comes to health, law and society
...
In 2010, drug
expert Professor Nutt for the BBC reported alcohol is a more risky drug than Class As
such as heroin and cocaine due to the fact alcohol has caused more deaths than most
Class As as it is legal so more and more careless people turn to it to get hooked to
...
Moreover, it
exaggerates the way you felt when you started drinking
...
However, if you were drowning your sorrows or having a few
angry drinks then it can exaggerate your negative emotions; in most cases to a
dangerous level where it can affect yourself and others very badly
...
In 2011, over 9990 people in the UK were reported casualties of
drink-driving and had suffered long-term injury or even death due to another driver’s
drunk behaviour
...
These crimes included: drink driving, anti-social or
alcohol-influenced criminal behaviour, underage binge drinking, extreme violence and
drug misuse
...
The majority of drug addicts got
hooked to their drug through alcohol (by either taking it when they were in a drunken
state or using alcohol as a gateway substance) rather than trying the drug first time
...
So to recapitulate, legal
drugs such as alcohol can be seen as worse for society than legal drugs because they are
used more widely and more recklessly (because they are legal), they are easier to get
hold of and cause all kinds of crime and trouble with and provide a gateway to the illegal
side of drugs too
