This shows drug trafficking was recognized as a large problem over a century ago. With a better plan and more harsh consequences, drug trafficking can be under better control than it is today. “The position maintained by the United States, a drug-consuming country, was that the trade in dangerous drugs had to be prohibited and that narcotic drug supply should be eliminated at its source” (Keefer & Loayza, (2010), p. 88). This is still the goal for the United States today. Customs officers are expected to do their job and put a stop to the drug trafficking but the temptation of making some extra money may be extremely strong.
Joseph Campbell Civil disobedience Civil disobedience is the act of violating the law in order to make others aware of personal disagreement. There has been much civil disobedience throughout the history of the world and more importantly, the United States, which have changed laws to better the lives of society.

Once it becomes easier to manipulate the person freely, the government in the case of Fahrenheit 451 is capable to engineering a whole society as they please. The second result that censorship of society and the banning of books brings is increasing the pleasure and happiness which objects bring, rather than the emotional connection between mankind. This in turn turns the happiness to be very shallow and short-lasting, increasing and stimulating the economy but severely hurting the human mind. Our last result that will be discussed in this essay is the way censorship changes the whole society. The immense diversity of books that we each read as an individual make us unique in many different ways that we cannot

The reason for this, in my opinion, is the fact that the US Government wants the public to believe that marijuana is “bad” and should remain illegal. This “cover-up” began in the early 1900’s and still remains in effect today. Many Americans are suffering unjustly because of the illegalization of a drug that is safer than any legal drug on the market today. The hemp plant has many industrial uses and medicinal
