Drug have always been an essential issue, that’s why we thought to bring you the list of the 10 most drug infested cities in the US. Insider Monkey has recently published and arresting aarticle about this topic.
Althoug the United States has always been the dream country for millions of immigrants for centuries, it still struggles with its own problems in certain areas, such as drug infested cities, drug cartels, gang wars, and thousands of pointless death every year. As Insider Monkey has investigated, in the States about 68,300 people died of drug overdoses within only one year in 2019! Five years ago this number was under 50,000. Therefore the US started the War on Drugs.
In considering and determining the most harmful drugs there is a change comparing the former definitions. Marijuana was regarded to be among the most dangerous ones, such as cocaine, heroin, and meth, but nowadays it’s said not to be so harmful as the previous ones. As for me, I really believe it. I had a schoolmate who had been on marijuana for couple of years before, and he told me not to believe that Marijuana was not dangerous. I have never tried any kinds of drugs, and frankly I have never felt it would be necessary to try them. I don’t think (what people generelly claim only to justify their acts) that you must try everything in the world. I don’t think I would have anything important with not trying drugs.
