12.3 On Drugs and Death

I think the themes of this narrative is very apparent in a normal college student's life. Drug abuse is not a joke, and so is dealing them. I know so many people that deal drugs to their friends. I know people that have gotten extremely addicted and sick because of their addiction. It really isn't a joke to be doing drugs. I mean, even doing it once is already very hazardous because there is a possibility that when you try it once, you immediately get addicted. I heard that's what its like for people who take ecstasy and cocaine. I think this narrative shows how much drugs can lead you towards a downward path. You make think it's cool or you can get rich by selling it just like the character of Mike but despite the external "goodness" of dealing drugs, Mike is already on a downward spiral because he's turning out to be a murderer. Look how much Enzo has lost in the process. A pretty and smart girl was interested in him but got turned off because of his life choices. He got expelled from school. He also got killed in the end. There is never anything good that comes out of taking drugs. Yeah, you may feel a temporary good kind of high when you take these drugs but the negative effects are always going to be permanent.
