What is a drug ?

• A drug is something like a cigarette or a pill.
  Not a pill that a doctor would give, but a
  chemical that avoids things that bother us. The
  problem with that is, if you take drugs it only
  ends up making things worse.

How does drugs interfear with crime?

• Drugs, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, tobacco, and
  alcohol, can cause addiction. But these products
  have a very high cost, so addicted people,
  usually make their money disapear very quickly.
• Ofcoarse people who are addicted need drugs, but
  with so little money left, its impossible to buy
  them. (Now heres where the crime comes in) I
  tell you, theyll do anything, kill, steal, and
  thearten others, to get enough money for these
  products.
