Drugs

During this past week we spent a great deal of time with sex ed and looking at drug abuse.  Surprisingly one thing stood out to me about drug abuse.  This is how people can't stop the addiction.  Once they start, it is always there and it takes rehab to get them off.

So I did some research and found that scientists are testing a new drug the blocks memory.  People will sometimes visualize a certain person or thing with the drug, and taking the memory of that away can help fix the addiction.  This is interesting because it can be a much more harmless way to go through rehab.

I think although this is not a stellar option it is good to help for these people available.  Unfortunately though, the real problem doesn't even lie in the abuse but it lies in schools.  It cost 47,000 a year in california to keep an inmate in jail.  We should put that money towards our students to help them.  By making schools better, there would be less inmates, and the cycle would continue with a little more peace in the world.
