Drug War

I attempted to watch the video on the drug war. im not sure if the video part was messed up because all i heard was talking. The individual was talking about the rising drug problem in america, which i agree with totally. he gave some statistic about the percentage of drug related crimes happening in the past few years and the increase is a little shocking. im not sure of the actual statistic he gave but i do know that it blew my mind. Drugs are becoming more and more of a problem every day in our society and it scares me. Young people dont want to work aymore they want to make a quick easy dollar. It's so easy for a young kid to aqcuire drugs now a days that its becoming a more common thing. I've seen first hand how out of hand a thing like this can become. I've experienced what drugs can do to someone. I have seen family member ruin their life due to drugs. ruin jobs, relationships, and just lose all focus on what is important in their life because they were too busy worrying about when the next time they were going to get high was. Drugs are a scary thing. A lot of the things you see on the news about someone getting murdered, was due to a drug related issue. I wish we could find away to rid of every drug because all i've seen is problematic things come of them. i've seen athletes throw their lifes away because they got hooked on drugs or they were selling them trying to make some fast cash. Everything that was said in this audio i listened to spoke to me. It makes you think. Drugs are a bad bad thing and they scare the hell out of me. to know what they can do to one's mind a body. the audio also talked about the drug war. The war against the gangs that do and sell them and the officers who are trying to take them out. This war is everyday and will probably never be settled. The amount of people who are involved in drug related crimes also scares me because there are hundreds of thousands of people that are related to the drug cartel in some way. officers fight a war with these people everyday to get drugs out of the way of everyone, but i doubt they will ever fully succeed. this battle will continue.
