Sample:

The use of illegal drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, are becoming more and more common in many
countries. What are some of the problems associated with drug abuse? What are some of the possible
solutions? 

Drug abuse is becoming increasingly serious in many nations. Although drugs threaten many societies, their
effects can also be combated successfully. This essay looks at some of the problems caused by drug use on
society, and suggests some solutions to the problems.

Drug abuse causes multiple problems for countries and communities. The medical effects are very obvious.
For example, addicts abuse their bodies and neglect their health, and so eventually require expensive treatment
or hospitalization. In some cases, such as Marilyn Monroe, a drug overdose even leads to death. The second
effect is crime. People who take drugs become crazy and irrational and often cause harm and danger to
themselves and others.

However, the menace of drugs can be fought. Education is the main way to tackle this issue. People need to be
aware of the effects so that they can avoid this problem. In addition, the government could also use
infomercials to educate their citizens. This is a good approach because they can alert all citizens about the
negative aspects of using drugs.

In conclusion, drug abuse is a serious issue because it causes harmful effects on people’s health and people
who are high often commit crimes. The best approaches to deal with it are to educate people about its
damaging effects, and also for the government to ensure all people are aware of the consequences through
public service advertising. Although the problem is unlikely to be entirely eliminated in the short term these
are concrete steps to reduce the effects it is having on the current society.
