Cocaine
.... Cocaine is also
injected in solution into veins or may be smoked in chemically treated forms
known as free base and crack.
Any method of ingestion produces compulsive use, and drug dependency may
develop in a relatively short time. Users are attracted at first when small
amounts of cocaine decrease their fatigue and increase their mental awareness.
When taken in larger amounts, cocaine may also produce digestive disorders,
weight loss, sleeplessness, irritability, depression, and hallucinations or

Alcohol And Driving While Intoxicated
.... only can alcohol enhance your mood, but it has been proven that it can
quickly alter your mood. When alcohol is consumed, it is not digested. It
passes through your stomach and small intestine directly into the bloodstream
and is carried to all parts of your body. It reaches your brain in small amounts.
When alcohol is ingested in larger amounts, it dulls the area of your brain
that control inhibition, judgment, and self-control. Hopefully you can see how
this could be detrimental to your health when driving. Drinking.
But how does alcohol effect my driving? To expand upon this, drinking
increases your self-confidence, and .....

Drugs: A Major Problem In Canadian Society
.... in the brain to block all effects of the damaging drugs,
however the Naloxone is not an addictive drug, as the others are. The downfall
to the medical drugs being used to help addiction are that there effects are
very short-term and cannot cure the patient, but does assist in attaining the
goal of substituting a more controllable, less lethal drug as opposed to the
original narcotic .
The key to preventing substance abuse in Canada is to educate the public,
preferably at a young age, never to experiment with potentially life-threating
drugs. This education can be attained within the pre-secondary schools. In 1988

Drug Legalization
.... , treatment, and law enforcement. Softening our
drug laws would be a major mistake. Research and data clearly shows the
problem is not drug prohibition , but drug use. When drugs are cheap and
easily accessible , more people will use them. It is a frightening scenario
that envisions more of our citizens, both juveniles and adults, using mind -
altering substances that not only affect their own behavior and health, but also
endanger innocent people.
Experience has already shown a link between illegal drug use and crime;
that even the so called " victimless " use of marijuana can cause a
disproportionate amount of .....

Drug Prohibition
.... be legalized, the price would collapse, and so would the drug-related
motivations to commit crime. A pack of cocaine becomes no more dangerous to
carry than a pack of cigarettes. The streets would be safer to walk, as
criminal drug dealers are pushed from the market.
Legalization would also deflate prison overcrowding. Out of 31,346
sentenced prisoners in federal institutions, drug law violators were the largest
single category, 9487. By legalizing drugs, there would be no more drug
offenders to lock up. Since many drug users would no longer be committing
violent or property crimes to pay for their habits, there would be .....

Drugs And Legalization

replacing their parents. Eliminating the drug dealer will force these young
children into the reality that education is the way to make money, not selling
drugs.
N.O.R.M.L (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) is a
fully recognized organization that lobbies for the removal of criminal penalties
for the individual who uses marijuana in private. Since it is the Americans
right to privacy, personal choice, and individual freedom.

documented to have practical medical purposes and environmental purposes. The

Drug Smuggling
.... line. Along the coast of the east side and
the west side are hundreds of check in places to help stop from letting in
illegal drugs.
Here is a case about 21 sailors that were arrested for smuggling cocaine
and heroin to Italy. They have been doing those on a regular basis because most
navy trips can go through boarders without being check for illegal drugs. The
sailors were caught with 20 pounds of illegal drugs which had street value of
thousands of dollars. The reason there are not a lot of illegal drugs coming
into the U.S. boarders is cause we have high tech aircraft's and vessels and
surveillance to detect drugs. .....

Crimes are often divided between acts that most people would consider evil and acts that lawmakers decide should be regulated in the interest of the community. The first group includes such major crimes as arson, assault, breach of the peace, burglary, kidnapping, larceny, murder, rape, and robbery. The second group includes crimes of a "rapidly growing urban society." These crimes include violati .....

Should Juveniles Be Waived To Adult Court
.... violent offenses has risen dramatically.
There are two distinct schools of thought in this argument: side A believes that a persons age should not prevent that person from feeling the full effect of the adult court system, while side B feels that you simply cannot apply the same rules to juvenile offenders that you do to adults. I will first present side A’s case then B’s and finally end with my own opinion.
Many states have begun enacting new laws about the transfer of juveniles, that are more harsh on juveniles. Minnesota, for example, has a new law that states a 16 or 17 year old person that has been charged with a .....

Senseless Lawsuits
.... it wasn’t about the money then why did they bother with the suit in the first place if he was found not guilty of their murders? To me it seems that it was about the money and not who killed their children, if that was the case they would work with OJ to find out who the real killers are.
Recently a lawsuit was filed against a college for a computer course that was too hard. Twelve students failed the course and decided to sue the college because the corse was not as easy as perceived by the school. If I were the judge on this case I would throw it out of court on the basis of the Senseless Lawsuit Act. Is this going to be a way .....

Brown Vs. Board Of Education
.... of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.”
The Supreme Court’s decision that separate but equal is not equal began the desegregation of public schools. The decision resulted in forced busing of students. Some students now have to travel extremely far so that schools meet their quota of African American students. This is reason that some people, including some African Americans, wonder why such a decision is still in effect. These people believe that it is no longer necessary and that it is possible for their to be “separate but equal schools,” and that there is no logic in the statement “se .....
