Alcohol,Meth,Weed

Although Prohibition occurred in the 1920s, the similarities between that and the legalization of marijuana and fight against meth are easily seen. All three are influenced by the government, and are done in hopes of ridding people of the their harmful habits. The use of weed and meth are outlawed just like alcohol was in the 1920s and just like in the 1920s the use of those illegal drugs are still done.The buyers help fund the running of criminal gangs and keep the gangs continuously in business. The demand for weed and meth are always there and along with a constant supply available that keeps the habit from stopping even with interference by police officers and other law enforcements.Used properly both alcohol and weed can be an easy way to release tension and relax safely, but only if used with control and not abused.I consider meth as a more dangerous habit, one that you can easily die from or one that can cause irreversible damage. The damage created by meth are almost instantaneous where with alcohol and weed they are not, only in most cases where the product was used irresponsibly. Meth kills brain cells and meth really takes a toll on the way you face and body look on the outside and the way your mind thinks, soon after your first use you can easily become addicted to the substance, willing to do any thing for your next hit.Given all three products cause long term effects on your body, but with proper care the effects can be easily reduced .The best similarity between Prohibition and the legalization of marijuana and fight against meth is the hold they have on people and how difficult it is to break that hold, and all the government was/is trying to do is monitor the consumption and help create a stable balance between indulgence and addiction.
