Drugs

It seems as though drugs have become a major factor within societies, urban and suburban. When drugs are discussed, they are assumed to be linked to more deviant societies. These deviant societies create a new name for drugs. For example, nicotine, one of the most dangerous drugs out there, is seen as less deviant as marijuana, a non-addictive drug. Nicotine is sold to 18 year-olds all over the US. Although it is such a bad drug, our society  makes it out to be less than what it is. When something else is used (some other type of drug) our society seems to be deviant. As a society, we classify which drugs are okay and which aren't. Sometimes, we don't even take into account the severity of the drug that we are classifying.
