Question 3

​Discuss the laws involving drug abuse in the United States.

Accepted Answer

In the past four decades, a variety of laws have been passed. In 1984 federal legislation was enacted that placed considerable pressure on states to raise the minimum drinking age to 21 years; states that do not comply risk losing federal matching funds for highways. All states have now raised the minimum drinking age to 21. Most states have reduced the legal alcohol levels required for conviction of drunken driving and toughened penalties for driving while intoxicated. With regard to tobacco, most states have passed "clean indoor air" laws, requiring nonsmoking areas in restaurants and, in many cases, banning smoking entirely in public places. To combat illegal drugs, various state and local governments established a policy of confiscating property (such as cars or boats) used to carry or store drugs, even small amounts of marijuana for personal use. Drug testing in the workplace is becoming more widespread.​
