These are discussion post. At least 1 paragraph each.
1. video clips regarding illegal drug use/drug abuse: The TED Talk by Johann Hari and the video clip on the Insite Clinic in Vancouver, and read the information supplied by the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Nursing website. In your opinion, how should the United States as a country address illegal drug use? (This is the question you need to write about for the discussion, the other “questions” around drug use and abuse like the legalization of Marijuana, opioid prescriptions and addiction related to the prescription of Fentanyl, Oxycodine, etc., you may discuss, but first I want you to address the approach the United States should take as a society.)

Or do other people, political leaders for instance, have a responsibility if they subsequently publicly praise or scold those involved in the violence shown on television?
Please do not simply say what is, or is not, allowed by law; or what the most recent court case decided; what I am asking is beyond the laws – what do you think ought to be the case, regardless of current laws or verdicts on the topic.
