Illegal Drugs

I am sure you all know about illegal drugs; Cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamines, crack, opiates, ecstasy, and the list goes on and on. Most people, probably including you, believe that these drugs cause major problems in the world and economy. Drug users hurt themselves and others to obtain their drug of choice. They commit house robberies and steal money from anyone whose guard is let down for only milliseconds. Places where people purchase drugs are considered dangerous or scary to many people. Approximately 6 million dollars a year is spent on drugs in the United States alone. Drug dealers and users take money from the legal economy and use it in the illegal trade, causing there to be less money in the nation’s circulation. However, all of these issues are miniscule in comparison to the outrageous prices of the previously stated drugs. With some drugs costing over $100 per daily use, I believe the prices are getting way out of hand. Not only do they cost too much, they are way too difficult to find. If drugs were cheaper less people would get hurt and robbed for drug money. Little Billy Bob would have to sip his dinner through a straw because John Doe needed twenty more dollars to get enough cocaine. If it was easier to find there could be a decrease in bad gas emissions from the drug users driving all over town looking for their stuff. Imagine a perfect world. I see a McDonalds with meth fries, a marijuana burger with extra cocaine sauce on the side. Perhaps even a Shell gas station with an ecstasy slushie. In the perfect world drugs will cost less and being as convenient to get as a meal from a fast food restaurant. I strongly advise you take into consideration my proposal. A world our economy can not live without much longer. Now, if you will excuse me I have to take my sister to get some heroin hash browns from the store.
