Take a Side on the Following Commentary Regarding Illegal Drug Use. Do You Agree or Not?
Question by juni: Take a side on the following commentary regarding illegal drug use. Do you agree or not?
case has been made that drug use in itself is not the problem – that the real problem is an economic and social one and that drug abuse is only a symptom of underlying conditions such as unemployment, racial inequality, and the erosion of family values. This argument states that drug abuse will diminish when these problems are solved. Is this a valid argument?

addicting. There are over four million people in the US addicted to drugs..
