..drUg addictiOn..

Drug addiction is a state of psychological addiction of a being into taking drugs exceeding their required dosage. This mental problem can affect a person’s mind and health. Several Filipinos had been identified as drug addicts. Most of which belong to the lower class of the Philippines’ society that experience poverty and famine. Even children at very young age are caught taking drugs without a doctor’s prescription, each child being influenced by adults or teenagers that are also potential addicts themselves. In urban areas all over our country, every town has a potential drug lord or a drug addict. But less than a half of them are caught by the nation’s security. Could these drug lords have power over our policemen? Could they manipulate the policemen’s mind? One great power that a drug lord has is money, money they earn through trading certain amounts of illegal drugs in exchange for huge quantities of money. Only those drug traders that are financially poor that are mostly caught in their illegal acts.Our country belongs to top five lists of the Asian countries that are engaged to illegal drug dosage, particularly in the dosage of met amphetamine or we know as “shabu”. Famous drug lords here inhibit our country on earth. Some of which are now cheating millionaires, buying every police department to be saved from being caught during its operation.Drug addiction could cause to a nation’s downfall. Our leaders or even us should discourage those that could be potential drug addicts. A simple act could save many lives and the future of our country.
