Drugs in Today's World

As I was reading, I came across three very interesting articles. They caught my attention because they all seemed to be related. Each was about different people smuggling or selling food items that contained a drug.

In the first article, two police officers in Los Lunas, New Mexico found marijuana on their hamburgers. The three workers in Burger King were arrested and charged with a felony. The second article involved a woman in Sante Fe, New Mexico. She was found guilty after trying to slip heroin to an inmate. They found the heroin in a needle located in a burrito. The last story was about a woman from Marianna, Florida who tried to smuggle marijuana into a correctional facility for people with borderline mental retardation. The marijuana was found in an ice cream container.

After reading these articles I was astonished by the things people will do just to get drugs. I really think that it is ridiculous that people are actually taking these chances and endangering others along the way. It just shows that drugs are getting way out of hand in our country and in our world today. Please share your thoughts about this subject.
