Many substances that affect the human mind – such as marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine – are banned in many countries as “recreational drugs.” Other substances such as alcohol, tobacco and caffeine that also affect the mind – are generally legal though regulated. Is this inconsistent? What should be the government policy for regulating substances that affect the human mind?

Many are the substances that affect the human mind, such as marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine. These substances are however banned in many countries whiles other substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine equally affect the mind are legal though regulated.

Most governments have not considered the effects of tobacco and alcohol especially on its citizenry, and though regulated has allowed people to use it and has affected their health.

What is not good is not good and must be condemned and for me I believe its about time Governments decide on banning these legalized but regulated drugs to deter people from using and when they flout the law  they should be dealt with. This would go a long way to ensure that citizens of a country remain healthy in order to work and support the productivity of the country and the world as a whole. 

Tobacco when smoked affects the internal system of the body as well as alcohol which eventually causes cirrhosis.  

Government should make policies that would ensure that no one uses the drugs or should increase tariffs on importation so that importers would feel the need to stop importing substances that affect the health of its citizens.
