TEENAGERS: I Need You to Answer These Questions About Drug Abuse.?
Question by Special Kay: TEENAGERS: I need you to answer these questions about drug abuse.?
I am doing a school survey, and need tons of teenagers to answer. We aren’t allowed to do it in school, so it’s difficult to get a lot of answers. This is totally anonymous, please be honest.
Pros of Alcohol and Drug Abuse?
Question by Angel: Pros of alcohol and drug abuse?
I’m having a debate on alcohol and drug abuse for my sociology class and my half of the debate are the pros. I certainly know that the functionalists would say that drug and alcohol abuse is good because it provides jobs for AA employees and provides greater economic flow. I’d actually like to know, are there any other pros besides the mentioned for the abuse of alcohol and drugs? Can the word “abuse” be used in a different context for alcohol and drugs? Please give me something to debate on the pros, thank you!
Okay, let me clarify my point of the debate: I WAS ASSIGNED THE HALF OF THE DEBATE WHICH IS THE PROS OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE. I didn’t just ask for the pros of health, I’m also asking for benefits it causes. Functionalists, Conflict theorists, anything really. It wasn’t my choice to be the pro party. Sorry if I didn’t clarify enough.

Men Preferred; Trying to Help My Husband….?
Question by Nicole: Men preferred; trying to help my husband….?
Come off his addiction to smoking pot. He’s doing it for all the right reasons, FINALLY. But he had done it so much it was ridiculous. As soon as he woke up he’d do it. Immediately after work, then every hour he was home. He was so hooked on it he wouldn’t go anywhere or do anything until he smoked. I tried for years to get him to quit but I knew the only one who could truly get him to stop was himself.
The Social Effects of Drug Abuse?
Question by Reaper: The social effects of drug abuse?
Other than effecting people around them, what happens besides that? Especially to the ones who are using it(again, not around them).
If this was you, how would you solve this problem? Other than seeking professional helps?
PS: This is just a what if situation. I just made it up so don’t worry. Anyways, what’s your solution to this?
