Nadelmann argues that with the legalization of drugs, people will refrain from using them or use them responsibly in moderation. A drug like cocaine, which Nadelmann wants to legalize, is highly addictive and has harmful effects, according to Wilson. Medicines with these kinds of consequences are not easy to use in sufficient quantities. Legalizing these drugs will not be used responsibly and will expose more members of society to trying them. Through deliberate research by Professor David Nutt and his team, they gather enough tests and evidence that assess alcohol as number one in most cases. harmful list. Many other researches prove that it is also the most addictive product compared to tobacco and marijuana. Just below that list are heroin, crack, and cocaine. “We cannot compare the addictive powers of these drugs with certainty, but the best evidence suggests that crack and heroin are much more addictive than alcohol” (Wilson, 302). “What Nadelmann does is show that a legalized drug (alcohol) produces more dependence. The social harms are greater than those that are illegal (cocaine and heroin). While Wilson advocates for children in the womb, those outside the world who witness drug abuse should also be concerned. Nadelmann assumes that children constitute only a small portion of the minority who end up harming themselves with drugs, when in reality they are the most common victims of indifferent drug addicts. Children are taught at school to avoid using harmful drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, and with the legalization of cocaine and marijuana, the effects of these drugs should be reintroduced. “Unlike tobacco, cocaine will not give you cancer or emphysema, but it will cause you to neglect your duties to family, work and neighborhood... middle of paper...... a store open for business does not. reduce its use. Not everyone knows how to find a dealer, but a drug market or store can be easily spotted. This makes medications more accessible to foolish adults who don't care about the correct dosage to take. “As was the case in previous years, the level of alcohol consumption was associated with illicit drug use in 2012. Among the 17.0 million heavy drinkers aged 12 or older, 31.0% were of current users of illicit drugs” (Results of the 2012 national survey…) It is between the early ages when one is a young adult that one must think before legalizing a drug which cannot be consumed in moderation . It is later in life that tragedy occurs due to the irresponsibility of young people when we open our eyes to realize the damage a drug has caused to ourselves or others. Even today, with some drugs, “legal” does not mean “unauthorized.” harmful’.
