Drugs & Alcohol Should Be Banned

Hi im Piripi and today I will be talking to you about why drugs and alcohol should be banned.

Firstly I think that drugs and alcohol should be banned. Why I say? Because many people take drugs or drink alcohol and that can really impact families. How? well Having an alcohol and drug addiction canchange a person’s behavior in ways that make them unrecognizable to their family, and that can place extra burden on those forced to make up for their loved one’s mistakes and neglect.

secondly, is families can save more money to spend on their children. How? Drugs and alcohol are

expensive, especially when you’re using a lot and constantly. Substance abuse also impacts your

productivity and success at work and in school. using and recuperating from drugs can be better spent learning new skills to advance your career.

thirdly, what happens to you if you are overdosing on drugs and alcohol. Well most people think that

taking drugs or alcohol don’t harm you or do much to you at all, but really this is what happens. taking drugs and alcohol you’re more likely to experience physical injury or be involved in car accidents. Even worse, you also have an increased risk of death through both suicide and homicide, and no one wants that do they.

My fourth reason is the risks of death taking drugs. Having a drug addiction is a serious disease.

Millions of lives have been lost due to drug use. So don’t become another one. If you have been

battling drug addiction, find the courage to get help. Treatment can help you get on the path to drug-free living, no matter how severe your addiction is.

and finally my last reason is the percentages in NZ. Alcohol and other drugs have been used by

human beings throughout history, and New Zealanders are no different. 44% of adult New Zealanders will try an illicit drug at some point, and 93% will try alcohol. Thank you for listning to my speech
