Why do people make and sell drugs?

     The book I read this week was why do people make and sell drugs? By Anne Rooney. This book is to inform people about what a drug is and how they are used to treat patients or how they are misused. There are medical drugs and street drugs. They are both being distributed to people, but street drugs are sold illegally and mostly to people who don't necessarily need the drug for it to positively impact the body. In fact, an unmedicated drug will actually damage the body. There are lots of different drugs but the main street drugs are marijuana, LSD, Molly, Crack cocaine, meth, Shrooms, and heroin. Most of these drugs are deadly to consume but some don't have effects as potent as the others. Drugs like these are referred to as party drugs which are usually used at parties or concerts of some type. The stronger drugs are referred to as "Faster" lifestyle drugs which are more commonly found among those who are wealthy and live a wild and fast lifestyle. Estimates from researchers found that drug kingpins make about 300 million a year from selling and transporting illegally. Research labs study and work hard to develop legitimate meds that are intended to help injured people while the streets are trying to find a way to remake the drug and be able to put it on the market for illegal consumption. The book says that some people do this because they might've never known any other life than the drug game, or maybe they may be in a crisis point where they will be willing to do whatever they can to make money for their survival.
