Problem
The drug problem is a major public health problem in the United States. Directly or indirectly, the society is affected by drug abuse and addiction at many levels. Methamphetamine or Meth is one of the most commonly abused substances in the United States. The use of methamphetamine has a negative effect on the economy, the society, and public health. Methamphetamine use is associated with numerous short-term and long-term health problems. On the individual level, meth creates a false sense of energy and well-being (O'Connor, 2006). Thus, drug users often experience a severe mental and physical breakdown after the effects of the substance wear off.
Persistent use of the meth reduces natural feelings of hunger and can lead to extreme loss of weight. Other short-term effects include hyperactivity Men's Nike EXP X14 Primarily Blue Clearance , disturbed sleep patterns, delusions of power, nausea, increased irritability and aggressiveness, insomnia, hallucinations, confusion Women's Nike Air Force 1 100 Low White Clearance , paranoia, and anxiety. In the long term, the use of meth causes irreversible harm such as increased blood pressure, heart rate and damaged blood vessels in the brain which can lead to irregular heartbeat, strokes, liver damage, lung damage Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low Foamposite Pro Cup Triple White Clearance , kidney damage, cardiovascular collapse, and death. Ill Health is the most obvious effect manifested in those who abuse drugs (Oetting, 2000).
Methamphetamine use also has a significant impact on the economy. Many drug users cannot secure or hold full-time employment. Those working may put other people at risk especially when they are employed in positions where the even low level of impairment is potentially catastrophic such as air traffic controllers, airline pilots, drivers and train operation. Economically, businesses may also be affected when employees engage in theft to finance their habits. Employees may supplies or cash Men's Nike Free CR7 Metcon Trainers White Clearance , products, and equipment to get money to purchase drugs (Anderson, 2010). Moreover, lost productivity, absenteeism and increased use of insurance and medical benefits by individuals who abuse drugs impact businesses financially.
Other economic impacts of meth abuse include increased the burden and retrain of resources for the federal, state, and local governments. The burden is ultimately passed to the taxpayer. The impact is most evident with methamphetamine (Quinton Men's Nike Hyperdunk X Black White Clearance , 2002). Laboratories involved in the production of meth also adversely affect the environment and jeopardize the safety of citizens. Emergency responders, law enforcement personnel, children and those who reside near methamphetamine production sites have succumbed or been significantly injured as a result of substance production.
On another hand, Methamphetamine users regularly require extensive medical treatment. Children are abused, abandoned or neglected. This adds to social services costs. Drug users are also involved in a host of crimes including assault, domestic violence, identity theft and burglary. Drug producers strain law enforcement budget and resources as a result of the staggering costs linked to the investigation Women's Nike M2K Tekno White Pure Platinum Clearance , remediation, and clean-up of laboratory sites. Additionally, the time and manpower involved add to the workload of an already overburdened law enforcement system (Krasnova, 2009).
Social consequences include Family dysfunctions that add to the list of tragic effects of neglect. Addiction is characterized by legal and financial problems and promotes child abuse, domestic violence, and motor vehicle accidents. For the community, meth brings a crime wave. Car Theft Women's Nike Shox OZ 801 Black Pink Clearance , Property crimes, and identity theft increase as addicts require money to maintain the habit. Jails house a large number of meth users while health care facilities are required to take care of patients who overindulge or are injured in lab explosions. Other impacts of meth include increased cases of child neglect, abuse, and endangerment. Thus, meth affects the community' as a whole. The economic cost of meth use is substantial (Falkowski, 2006). The costs arise from drug treatment, premature death Women's Nike Shox OZ D Peach Black Clearance , the burden of addiction and many other aspects of the drug. Crime and criminal justice cost account for a large percentage of economic costs. The cost includes the cost of making arrests, incarcerating of offenders, as related non-drug crimes caused by meth users. Other costs include lost productivity and spending for drug treatment.
Solution
Numerous efforts have been made to reduce the use of the substance in the United States. However, little has been achieved in the long-term. Instead, there has been an increase in the sale of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine products. At the federal level, a Legislation to increase sentencing has been previously passed. Despite such efforts, meth drug problem is still present. There are various steps that have been implemented over time. However Men's Nike Shox Gravity Luxe Green Strike Black Clearance , most have been unsuccessful (Nicosia, 2009).
One of the measures that have been taken to curb the sale and subsequent use of meth is through tracking the sale of pseudoephedrine. The tracking may be done manually or electronically. The aim of instituting this measure was to ensure that only small quantities of the substance are sold, hence minimizing the abuse. As a result, individuals would find it difficult to purchase large quantities necessary for the production of meth. The measure has not been effective as individual producers may form groups. By each individual purchasing small quantity, it is possible to assemble the product to reach the desired amount.
A more stringent measure is required to curb the epidemic. In my opinion, this would be to return pseudoephedrine to prescription-drug status. This solution has been effective in states such as Oregon. The step would ensure that only small quantities of drugs are sold and collected. It will also make it harder for individual w
