It's weird how we grow up thinking the war on drugs is a good thing, is actually one of the parasites that feed on the world's economy and communities. My generation has grown up being taught in school and by the media of how the war on drugs is necessary, but has always overlooked the actual problems that such a war creates.
As the years go by and people are better understanding what goes on behind human's addiction to drugs, it's great how more people are grasping the real consequences of an outdated justice system that more often than not, punishes the victims rather than the offenders.
Another issue remains in how little emphasis modern society places on mental health, and psychological help as a whole. The average person is so quick to immediately shun someone if it means causing the him/herself pain or discomfort, without realising that the person that they reject are in even worse condition. It would be nice if psychological and mental health support is more available to communities. The world would be a better place if people learned to just discuss about differences, rather than just reject them.
