War on Drugs
Society’s view of drugs has changed base on the sociological imagination of the times. People’s behavior and attitude have adjusted based on the social forces that have evolved around them. This shifting of ideas has been forever apparent in the America and a prime example is the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920's. The illegality of alcohol enabled the Mafia to produce liquor and therefore it had considerable control over those who wanted their substance and service. The role that the Mafia played in the 1920's has transformed into the corner drug dealers and drug cartel of this century. The justification that legalized alcohol under Amendment 21 in 1933 should be just cause to legalize drugs today. With the legalization of drugs deaths related to drugs would decrease and the price would lessen because big businesses could produce drugs at less cost. Thus, reducing crimes that are committed to support drug habits. Another drug that has played a major role in American society is nicotine. For hundreds of years, cigarettes have been a popular legal drug within the United States. Only through legalization and education has the popularity and the use of cigarettes declined within the past ten years. Physicall
