When doing illegal drugs, a person can ruin his life. He steals, lies, and and may end up in jail. He may also cause his family to worry. When someone is trying to support his drug habbit, he will most likley steal from family or strangers when he runs out of money. He may also lie to his family just so he may be able to get more durg money. If someone decides to steal or lie, and gets caught, he will end up in jail. And if that person has a child, the child won't even know his parent. Just think about your family and all the other people you will be hurting if you decided to do drugs. How could you put your mother and father through all that. A parents biggest fear, when their child is on drugs, is wondering if he will be coming home or if he will be killed.

When overall harm to society and the drug user are...
The Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Buildi...How sad. I just don't see how anyone could do that to their parents. The Department of Justice reports that in 2000 57.7% of the male population tested, tested positive for drugs. The emergency room departments report that in 2000, they saw over 200,000 thousand cases of people over dosing on drugs. With all that said, if you still decided to do drugs, ask yourself one question, Is it worth it?
Doing Drugs
I agree with you when you state that taking illegal drugs can ruin people's lives. You are also correct in observing that the effects go beyond just the drug user and often adversely affect family members and others. This issue is so important that some people may believe that it is nearly impossible to do the subject justice in only 226 words. You may want to expand what you've written by doing additional research. The Department of Justice and emergency room statistics which you cited are informative but indicate that you should have included a bibliography also. Keep writing!
