Drug Abuse


After reading some of my classmates’ blogs, I have found that Mai’s blog on April 5, 2019, is interesting. The post is about the drug abuse problem which needs the attention of the Texas government. Her blog actually informed me about the drug abuse problem in our state which I have not known much about before. Generally, I agree with Mai’s opinions on this issue because of her well-organized and persuasive complementary. 

First of all, Mai started her argument by opposing to the complicated law of Texas about the control of substances and narcotics. Following that, she gave readers the prove how hard for average citizens to understand and remember the state law to avoid drug abuse. Moreover, she pointed out that people who are affected by drug abuse in Texas is increasing. At this point, if Mai can give the readers the source of the data for the high rates of death because of the drug overdose and prescription drugs, her argument will be more persuasive. Through this point, we can figure out that the state laws do not work well to solve the drug abuse to improve the health of Texans. Later, Mai mentioned about “Good Samaritan” which is really helpful that should be more informed to Texans. Thanks to this post, I have been informed about this law. 

In the article's conclusion, Mai convinced me with her suggestions of how Texas government should do to help the drug abuse population decrease. I agree with Mai that Texas government will take a long time to reconsider the laws, but hopefully, they will do to make Texans healthier. In overall, Mai’s argument is persuasive with the organized and supporting details. I think Mai wrote an excellent commentary about the drug abuse issue which is essential to Texans.
