abuse can be destructive and impact our society heavily with its misuse. Certain

drugs

are useful to cure many diseases

whereas

they make

people

addicted. The addiction costs them huge and sometimes even with their life. A few

people

believe that legalising the substance brings them under

control

but I disagree with

this

statement.

Firstly

, Overdose or excess of anything is harmful and

Drugs

misuse is dangerous not only to the person consuming it but

also

to society as well. Legalising the substance will cause a huge problem for society as the substance would be easily available and consumption will increase. An increase in consumption will lead to more customers and addiction.

For instance

, In India, a drug was legally named Corax, a medicine used to cure cough which contains alcohol.

People

got to know and started taking it in excessive amounts and falling sick

instead

of cure.

Secondly

, Legalising will help its easy production or import and companies will be getting huge profit out of it. They will find ways to breach the limit in

control

policies.

For example

, A drug named Affeem was produced in some states of India but under the

control

of the government. Those states have strong policies to

control

the selling through only selected channels Still the drug is easily available in the market and

people

consume more than the allowed quantity which results in bad health and risk of life. In conclusion, considering the above statements and examples I strongly believe that the government should impose an entire ban on

such

substances for sale in public. These

drugs

can be used for the treatment of the patient only under the

control

of senior doctors.

Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals, and that most of us treat them as opportunities to have fun. While I agree that enjoyment seems to be the priority during festival times, I do not agree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean. On the one hand, religious and traditional festivals have certainly become times for celebration. In the UK, Christmas is a good example of a festival period when people are most concerned with shopping, giving and receiving presents, decorating their homes and enjoying traditional meals with their families. Most people look forward to Christmas as a holiday period, rather than a time to practise religion. Similar behaviour can be seen during non-religious festivals, such as Bonfire Night. People associate this occasion with making fires, watching firework displays, and perhaps going to large events in local parks; in other words, enjoyment is people’s primary goal. However, I di...
