Who: Lisa Ling
Where: Utah
What: Utah's drug abuse issue and the laws that are necessary to control them
Why: Although some may say that the laws against drug use are causing more harm than good in terms of how much it costs the government for the enforcement of these laws. But Lisa Ling believes that since there is already high enough drug abuse problems occurring in our country, it would only encourage more drug users since the drugs would become more attainable. This would increase the amount of drug-related deaths, and this number is high enough already. Eliminating laws completely on drugs won't solve the problems of drug abuse and addiction in our country, it will only worsen them.
