    The Pdf that is placed by the ABI states that when taxes are increased jobs in the hospitality industry are lost. Raising the taxes is not efficient way to raise money. Over 40% of the price of alcohol is tax! This is not a proven deterrent

    In this article the author's argument is how public health and personal freedoms conflict. The author specifically wrote about alcohol as the drug of choice. He describes the public health perspective and restrictions on drugs, then explain the benefits of alcohol and how the restrictions effect one's personal freedom.

    The author weighs in on some of the issues regarding personal freedoms and the conflicts that it has in public health. He argues that the individual's needs and freedoms need to be taken into account, rather than just the overall public health and safety.

  • Between 2018 and 2019, nearly 215,000 Arizona residents over the age of 18 were abusing pain relievers.

      There seem to be well meaning Drug Rehab facilities but it looks like the one advertised here is all the way in Florida. That is not very accessible to most people. This does suggest that there might be an economic barrier to Drug Rehab quality.

    The author of the article gives information about recent Drug abuse statistics and infographics on the trends in Arizona. The author also advertises the company Lakeview Health. While the article seems to be getting its statistics from credible sources like the CDC, its comments on how it can help people in Arizona with Drug abuse should be taken with a grain of salt because of its relation with a company bound to look for customers. (The Rehab Center is all the way in Florida).

    There are many pros and cons of legalizing marijuana. This site gives a bit of more information on what these pros and cons are. For example, Marijuana is no more harmful to a person's health than alcohol or tobacco, which are both legal and widely used, and regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and Some Americans believe that marijuana ingestion is immoral, and that their moral standards should be required of all Americans.

  • Malia Kihei on 09 Sep 13
     
    Some of the pros of legalizing marijuana are that it can be taxed, law enforcement could be doing more productive things with their time and that whether one smokes it should be their own decision. Some of the cons include that marijuana could possibly lead to other drugs and that long term use could be harmful.

    Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

    I agree, mental health care is very important and sadly is not always easy to get. Mental health needs more funding and more awareness. Being stable mentally is just as important as getting your yearly doctor's exam. I view mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and so on to be just as important to treat as any physical sickness or injury that requires medical attention.
  • sldaly on 27 Jan 17
     
    I also agree that mental healthcare is very poor and not getting the attention it deserves. I have someone really close to me that has mental illness and they don't get all the proper things that they need to deal with it because of money.
  • dan2084143 on 27 Jan 17
     
    As someone who has struggled with mental illness most of my entire life I know all too well the challenges that mental health faces in our country. It might help you to look at the Reagan administration and their decisions to close several mental health hospitals and programs in the late 80's. This had a huge impact on how mental health was dealt with in this country.
  • luminitaparavat on 28 Jan 17
     
    Being someone that has worked for a number of years with mentally disabled patients, I have to say that there is a lot of indifference toward this medical condition. Patients are not always receiving the best treatment option, they rather receive what is convenient for the health care provider or sometimes the cheapest alternative because family does not want to pay for treatment, whether it is a therapy or medication. It is very unfortunate that these people are ignored just because they have an ilness.
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    I work with a variety of patients and some do have mental disabilities. Most don't seek help because they have the lack of knowledge and don't know where to start. Also like the article states they don't have the support or don't want to spend the money. A lot of people who don't get the correct help they need then tend to become suicidal. Very sad.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.
  • che2146091 on 29 Jan 17
     
    The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

    This article talks about the reasons why drugs (of all kinds) should be legal. It talks about how legalizing drugs could potentially make streets safer and would aid in preventing prison overcrowding. It also brings up how legalizing drugs would free up police resources, unclog the court system, reduce official corruption and how it could cripple organized crime. It also talks about how legalizing drugs can prevent the contraction of AIDS and other diseases and prevent the erosion of personal liberties.
  • lac2151813 on 29 Jan 17
     
    I do believe marijuana should be legal due to so many people using the drug even though it is illegal. It definitely would prevent prison overcrowding and if alcohol is legal and kills people often, why can't marijuana be legal?
