Over the years we have heard many politicians talk about drug
addiction in America. President Trump brought it to light even more
when he singled out opiods and how they are being over prescribed by
doctors. We are rarely told that the majority of addicts use
prescription drugs. That doesn't always mean they got the drug using
a doctor's prescription, but we find too often it was the legal use
that led to illegal use.
Everyday we hear about the battle to legalize cannabis , one of
the least harmful drugs, but it does have it's down side such as
paranoia and forgetfulness. Even with the negatives, marijuana is
likely much safer than alcohol. Unlike opiods, marijuana hasn't been
found to be addictive, at least physically. People can become
psychologically addicted to almost anything, whether it be drugs,
exercise, or food.
