Conduct a short paper proposing a strategy to minimize the negative impact a selected issue may have on the criminal justice system. Research the selected drug policy ( Effects and Consequences of selected club drugs) as we have discussed the history, punitive sanctions during the War on Drugs, and decriminalizing drug use and possession.

After identifying the policy, explain the policy in a short literature review using scholarly articles and in-text citations and discuss the implications and how the policy planned to decriminalize drugs. Analyze the controversial issue and describe how it may negatively affect public perception of the criminal justice system.

Objectives :

1. Historical Background: The transition of club drugs from medical or therapeutic situations to social settings for recreational use is reflected in their historical background. Over time, the perception and usage patterns of these drugs have been influenced by the cultural and societal circumstances in which they first appeared.

2. Short/Long-Term Consequences: It is crucial to remember that the precise effects might change depending on several variables, including the drug's kind and dosage, the user's tolerance, and any underlying medical issues. Furthermore, there are additional health hazards connected with the recreational use of club drugs since they are frequently linked to unexpected and unregulated chemicals. It is crucial to seek expert assistance and implement harm-reduction techniques to lessen the possible negative effects of club drug usage.

3. Dependence on Young Teenagers/Adults: Teens who use club drugs may become dependent on them, which can have a serious negative impact on their social, psychological, and physical health. To address the underlying problems and assist the adolescent in their recovery, they must seek professional assistance, such as counseling or addiction treatment programs, if dependency is suspected or proven. Preventing the long-term effects of drug abuse can be greatly aided by early intervention.
