The existence of harmful non-prescription drugs is a bad thing to our society!

While this debate is EXTREMELY one-sided, I will do my best. As I have said in the past speech, please try not to bias me. Also, I would like to ask you not to get too worked up about this debate: I don't really think that drugs are that helpful to us in real life, but I will argue against you anyway. No need to call things "just stupid". .. Just because I am on the other side does not mean that I am such a bad person. Okay, little boy? :D I would like to also point out that you spelled a couple words wrong, like "addicts" (2nd informative paragraph), and "support. " Also, you have a couple of punctuation errors. Forgive me if I seem like a grammar Nazi to you, but I want to point out these things to the judges. Rebuttal: Your first contention/point was showing the judges and I how addicting drugs can be. First of all, I would like to address the source that you gave. I was unable to find the info that you were referring to, despite searching for it for awhile. Could you please give me the specific link to it in your next speech? Also, I would like to quote you on one of your statements: "Most drug addicts become addicted from stress, insecurity, and especially peer pressure. " Actually, the thing that makes them addicted is the levels of dopamine in their body, not stress or that other stuff. Just saying. (Source: . https://teens.drugabuse.gov...) Also, I would like to state that with today's tech, people determined enough to quit can easily quit. One of these products is known as Pondera. This revolutionary product reduces addiction from drugs; you may have heard of it. It reduced an average of 95% drug cases that it was tested on. (Website of Pondera) The drug addicts might not be able to get rid of the addiction themselves, but if they are determined enough and have a little help from these products, they might have hope. Lastly, you have said that their friends (or people) "don't want to help them, and they think it is their fault only. " But have you seen how many people are willing to help a drug addict? Try searching up "get rid of drug addiction. " (I'm sure that you know where this source comes from)There are over a million search results, and at least 75% of these results come from people willing to help a drug addict. Complete strangers want to help, and why not the people you know? Therefore, non-prescription drugs are not a bad thing to our society. Lots of people actually do want to help, despite what you said. There is also an incredibly high chance that you will have your addiction reduced, if not completely gone. The threats that drugs once posed are gone. Contention 2 Rebuttal: Once again, I would like to say that drug addiction can easily be reduced by the products of today. If the drug addicts want security and relaxation, get a security camera and a bed. There are lots of non-harmful (and not as costly) ways to relax properly. (Source: Life-Hacker is BAE) If you look on the source, it provides you with a lot of easy ways to provide yourself with relaxation. Best of all, you don't have to suffer from headaches or brain damage. Also, the source that you mentioned isn't an article, it's a video. Videos? Ain't nobody got time for that. You can't blame the drug itself just because it is relaxing. You should be blaming the person who is unable to find the easy way to find rest and relaxation. Contention 3 Rebuttal: For your third informational paragraph, I would like to say that people that do drugs do it at their own risk. They've been trained all their life to not do drugs, yet they still do it. On the bottom of every cigarette pack, there is a warning which explains the risks of doing drugs. (Not knowing from experience, of course) The "millions of people" that you talk about know the risks, so it's not the dealer's fault. You might as well blame the government for not shutting down major brands of drugs. Arguments: First of all, I would like to say that the people who do drugs know the risks, as I have already said. "Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, and May Complicate Pregnancy. " (Source:. http://www.cdc.gov...) This is the label on the bottom of the cigarette pack. It is not the drug's fault for all the crime and deaths caused across the world. It is the consciousness of the drug addicts fault, because they are the ones who do it. If you wanted to make the debate even more one-sided, you should have put: "The existence of drug addicts is harmful to our society. " And as if the labels weren't warning you enough, think about your school. I am willing to bet that you have heard the term "don't do drugs, kids," at least once in your life. The schools are supposed to teach the harm of drugs and alcohol. If they still don't listen to these rules, maybe there's a reason why they still take drugs. Don't talk to me about the fact that drug cases come from peer pressure; it is not true. The person that was under peer pressure knew what would happen if they did drugs, but they did it anyway. Given the chance, most people would want to live a long and healthy life, rather than to keep the crappy friends that have such high expectations. Secondly, I would like to say that the people that don't follow the expectations of the government shouldn't be complaining about their crappy lives because of drugs. They chose the lifestyle, and they will pay for it. If people die from drug abuse, so be it. They know fully of the consequences. Forgive me if I sound hardhearted to you, but the drug addicts had a choice, and they took the bad one. If the druggies never listen to the law, they deserve to die. We are just separating the wheat from the chaff: the ones who obey live, and the ones who don't pay the consequences. Thank you for your time and consideration, judges and debater.
