Drug Trafficking

violence

Drug trafficking is not a new issue in the United States. It has plagued our society since the early 19th century, slowly snowballing out of control and finally reaching its peak in the last 5 years, turning into the worst drug epidemic that the United States had ever seen. In the past the most trafficked drug was marijuana, but with the legalization of weed in the United States, we have seen a decrease in marijuana and an increase in fentanyl, cocaine and cocaine. The increase in these drugs has shown to affect youth and communities as a whole, leading to an increase in violent crime and youth O.D’s across the nation. The best way one can help combat this is by going out and voting on propositions that are more strict on hard drugs and fund education.
