Everyone has their own feeling about drugs and the use of them and for my options blog I decided to share mine.
Drugs have always been something that has been frowned upon when they are used for things other the prescription reasons. However, I don’t think that looking down on someone just because they use drugs is right. I think that if people choose to do drugs and when they are under the influence of those drugs they aren't bringing harm to anyone else then they should be able to do what they choose to their own body.
In the current American society, at the age of 21, drinking alcohol is legal as long as you don’t drive while you are under the influence however the use of marijuana, cocaine, acid and others is not legal under any circumstances. It is known that alcohol changes the state of someone; it affects someone’s brain and their ability to control not only their words but their actions as well. It is known that many things happen while people are under the influence of alcohol such as domestic violence, people driving and not being able to control the car resulting in the death of other people. Although the drugs that I mentioned before have some of the potential to have the same effects they are not legal and for the most part not accepted in the American society.
If a person at the age of 21 is able to change themselves with alcohol, to me it only makes since that they should be able to make the same choice to alter themselves with another drug of their choice, no matter what that drug may be.
I do agree the drugs should not be legal for minors, however I feel as though if someone chooses to change their state of mind, they should be able to do in the way the choose with the drug of their choice (alcohol is considered a drug in this case).
