Drugs

We recently watched a video in class talking about heroin and how it impacts everyone. Heroin is different than most gateway drugs. It is injected directly into the bloodstream creating almost an instant impact. Because it is injected and users usually use it two times a day people need a needle to inject it into their veins. Sharing needles is not good. You can spread HIV by sharing needles and it is not safe.
The bad part about heroin is not only the effects it does to your brain, but it also is very difficult to stop from being illegally imported. Afghanistan grows many poppy plants which is the main ingredient on how heroin is made. The sales that the middle eastern people make on the plant is used to help their family live. The money that is made from the drug is a crazy amount.
I believe that the United States should just supply new needles for the users but that is all. They users will get the drug regardless if they try and it away from them.
I do think that the guy that is single handedly trying to help all the users by giving them the reverse effect of heroin is a good idea and that could be another direction the United States could take.
