Personal Reaction: Britain’s fight against drugs “a total failure”

The problem with the soaring use of drugs among young people in Britain is a situation that is lived in almost the whole world, including first and third world countries.
Although it is true, I personally do not agree completely with the direct relation that in the article is done between this problem and the social ill-being and social deprivation, because there are also an increasing misuse of drugs among young people that belong to the high society, or those rich youngsters that are involved in the business of music or acting, as is the case of the famous American singer Britney Spears.
Drugs are not a problem of a specific society, it can affect to anyone but the responsible for that are the dealers, who are in their majority adults.
The governments and police forces have to deal with these together. Even though the social campaigns against the use of drugs seem no to be useful they can not stop, they must continue to warn the new generation of teenagers dangerously exposed to that problem.
