                                            Americans Love Drugs

    The government knows that the buying and selling of illegal drugs has become a lucrative business. Why doesn't our country just make those drugs legal to the public and use the money to benefit our education systems and police services. Millions of dollars a year is brought in from drug dealing, and if it was legal, our country might make and save that much more a year . Making drugs legal might be the perfect solution to catching our economy before it falls. The government needs to realize how many positives could come from legalizing all drugs. 
 
    McDonald's should start to sell heroine shakes and Burger King could sell opium burgers. Nestle chocolate should make cocaine chocolate bars that could be sold for only three dollars in department stores. Coca-Cola can even go back to putting cocaine in there drinks. This would help our economy and allow companies to make more money creating more jobs. Plantations would begin to pop up as farmers begin to delve into the drug trade lowering prices for users. Making drugs available to the public will only increase the number of purchases and therefore provide our economy with more money.
   
     Legalization's of all drugs will cause less violence, less crowded jails and will benefit in family bonding. Drug dealers will no longer have to threaten and beat their customers for not paying there debts. People will no longer be robbing others to find money to feed their cravings. Movie stars will no longer have to sneak around and worry about law suits and magazine articles written about their drug obsession. Space in our jails can be freed because the charges having to do with drugs will be lifted. People will not have to fear police and kids will no longer have to hide their addiction from their parents. In fact drug use can become a family bonding activity smoking a joint at he dinner table being an option. Making drug use legal will lift the fear of getting caught, end the problem of over crowded jails and benefit the family union.  
    
    Drug Rehabilitation centers will boom as addicts seek help creating a new viable industry creating jobs. Drugs will still ruin people's lives and their health so there will be many people looking to change their ways. How hard can it be for someone to lock another in a room until they no longer crave their drug? People will now have a way to make money easily, homeless people can even contribute due to all they have to do is lock someone in a room and make sure they don't get out. This will help to clean up the streets as the homeless can now make money without doing anything. Legalizing drugs will clear our streets of the homeless and create a viable new industry.
    
    All the money made from the selling of drugs can be used to fix problems we currently do not have enough money to improve. All of our schools will be able to fund enough money for sports and extracurricular activities. More teachers will be hired and therefore students will be part of smaller class sizes receiving more one on one teaching. Also, the police department will have funding to hire more officers and have more squad cars. With more police officers on patrol, our entire country will become a safer place, and they can focus on real problems such as murder instead of dealing with drug abuse.
    
    Legalizing drugs will all around make our world a better place. We will have millions to spend on our education systems and government resources. Violence will decrease as addicts will be able to get there fix whenever they please. Jobs will be made for the homeless that were not available before and people no longer have to fear going to jail for doing what they love. With our economy in a desperate time of need, it seems like the government need to make changes to benefit our lives.
