Externalities of Drug Abuse

People who typically abuse drugs cause negative effects on others or externalities. Such externalities include lower education, fewer people having jobs, violence, crime, organized crime, death, car accidents, murder child abuse, higher rate of HIV/AIDS, higher taxes, lessened resources. It is also very costly to the gov. In 2002, drug abuse cost the US about $181 billion. Since drug abusers generally can't hold jobs for long (due to stealing from the workplace, laziness, absences, lateness, lack of empathy or respect), people who abuse drugs are also more susceptible to poverty. Drug abusers usually don't have homes since they spend all their money to buy and sell drugs.

  1. Your comments are so sad but true. It's a big problem not only in the United States, but in the World. I have done much research on Addictions. There are New Discoveries everyday to overcome any addictions. The Good news, there is a Cure for any addiction. Addicts are not only getting recovered but Cured, and go on to live a Wonderful Life.
