- 1. MY PLANS AND HOW TO AVOID DRUGS AND ALCOHOL BY JASPER HUANG
- 2. MY THOUGHTS ON DRUGS AND ALCOHOL I BELIEVE THAT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE ONE OF HUMANITIES BIGGER PROBLEMS. ALCOHOL IS FINE IN SMALL REGULATED AMOUNTS HOWEVER DRUGS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY ADDICTIVE DRUGS. THE PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL AS WELL IS THAT IN LARGE AMOUNTS THEY GET ADDICTIVE. ESPECIALLY WHEN IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES DRINKING THEM. THE REASON WHY DRUGS ARE SO ADDICTIVE IS BECAUSE ADDICTS WANT THAT “HIGH” FEELING. THEY KEEP ON CONSUMING MORE AND MORE OR DIFFERENT KIND OF DRUGS TO GET “HIGHER”. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEATHS DUE TO OVERDOSES IN THE PAST. IT IS ALSO A PERSISTENT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.
- 3. HOW TO AVOID TO AVOID GETTING ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL YOU MUST FIRST STAY AWAY FROM IT. IF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS OFFER YOU SOME AT A PARTY IT IS BEST TO SAY NO AND WALK AWAY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO DRUGS SUCH AS MARIJUANA OR SMOKE AROUND SCHOOL. HOWEVER, I DO SEE SOME PEOPLE VAPING BUT I DON’T SEE ANY PEOPLE SMOKING OR DRINKING. IN THE FUTURE I WILL DRINK SOME ALCOHOL, JUST TO SEE IF I LIKE IT OR NOT. HOWEVER I WILL NEVER DO DRUGS OR SMOKE.
- 4. GATEWAY DRUGS AND BINGE DRINKING GATEWAY DRUGS ARE DRUGS THAT MOST PEOPLE START WITH. SUCH AS MARIJUANA. THEN THEY MOVE ONTO BETTER DRUGS TO GET A BETTER “HIGH” SUCH AS METH OR FENTANYL WHICH IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE LOWER MAINLAND RIGHT NOW. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE IS BINGE DRINKING. WHEN SOMEONE CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL OVER THE COURSE OR A FEW DAYS. MANY TEENS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH UNDERAGE DRINKING. SOME DO IT BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TOO STRESSED, OR THEY ARE AT A PARTY AND WANT TO FIT IN.
- 5. MY EXPERIENCES I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN ANYONE UNDERAGE DO DRUGS AND DRINK BEFORE. HOWEVER SOMETIMES YOU CAN SMELL A BIT OF MARIJUANA WHEN WALKING AROUND PORT COQUITLAM AND PORT MOODY THAT HOWEVER IS INEVITABLE. THERE IS ALSO NEWS OF JUSTIN TRUDAU WANTING TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA. I DON’T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING BAD AS LONG AS HE ONLY LEGALIZED MEDICINAL MARIJUANA HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT IF HE MAKES IT SO THAT IT IS REGULATED LIKE ALCOHOL HE WILL BE TAKING THIS STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. SINCE, EVEN THOUGHT ALCOHOL IS REGULATED TEENS STILL GET THERE HANDS ON IT VERY EASILY.
- 6. FACTORS FOR PEOPLES ADDICTION FOR DRUGS AND ALCOHOLS ALCHOHAL • EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO OBTAIN • LESS ADDICTIVE THAN MOST DRUGS • COMPARED TO DRUGS, ALCOHOL IS MUCH CHEAPER. • LESS DANGEROUS ON HEAVY USERS COMPARED TO DRUGS DRUGS • HARDER TO OBTAIN • EASIER TO GET ADDICTED TO • EXPONENTIALLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ALCOHOL • CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IS CONSUMER OVERDOSES
- 7. GOVERNMENTS PLAN TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA DURING TRUDAU’S CAMPAIGN THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IN CANADA. I THINK THAT THIS IS NOT A HORRIBLE IDEA, EVEN THOUGH MARIJUANA IS NOT VERY GOOD EVEN MEDICINALLY IT CAN HELP A FEW WHO NEED IT. I BELIEVE IF IT IS TO BE LEGALIZED THEN IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA. IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AT CERTAIN SHOP’S AS BEER AND WINE ARE TODAY. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ONLY ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO THE PUBLIC. IF IT WAS TO BE SOLD LIKE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, I BELIEVE THE TEENS WHO THINK ITS COOL TO SMOKE MARIJUANA WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT TOO EASILY.
