Michael Mccaul's Analysis

In looking into the opioid epidemic, Joe Rannazzisi, the head of the Office of Diversion Control in the DEA, started to notice a trend of distributors shipping large amounts of opioids to midsize to small pharmacies around the country. Based on the alarming consequences of pushing opioids in these communities, Rannazzisi decided to step in and freeze the distribution to these pharmacies. In addition, he decided to investigate them. The DEA has a broad authority to stop opioids being pumped into communities based on an imminent threat to the community. This all changed when lobbyists for the big pharmacies got legislation through Congress that essentially stopped the DEA from freezing the distribution of opioids to these communities. This legislation

During the lifetime of Christopher McCandless he explored a lot of North America. From Alaska to Mexico Chris McCandless explored many parts of the United States and small parts in Mexico. Some areas where he explored are the northwestern and midwest region of the US, the southwestern region of the US and Mexico, and Alaska.

Both Chris McCandless and Henry David Thoreau relate to the concept of transcendentalism. Transcendentalism’s main ideas revolve around the concepts of self-wisdom, nature, and social reform. Both McCandless and Thoreau embrace two of these three ideas, but they both also show individualism very strongly. People can see this when they read Into the Wild and Thoreau’s excerpts from Walden. By reading these passages, the reader can see similarities between the lives of McCandless and Thoreau.

Charles Mulli was a desolate kid raised without anyone else and just himself. He was relinquished by his folks when he was six years old and was compelled to carry on with his life alone. He needed to ask for sustenance in the boulevards to survive, " I didn't influence it to high to class" said Charles Mulli. " I needed to go to college - I needed to be phenomenal". This was particularly hard as a result of experiencing childhood in a damaging home and living in a poor, undeveloped nation.

It was typical hot friday afternoon in Miami, Florida where I encountered Mr. Tomas Name, a current law student, at the set rendezvous(Tijuana Flats). The good sir eager to start the interview received me with an ecstatic grin and said “let us get to it.” Of course after ordering the mega burritos, I got the tape recorder and we began the interview about the war on drugs, Mr. Tomas’ favorite subject. Immediately with a fire starter question like “what are your current thoughts on the U.S. Federal drug policy?” the gears were set into motion, without a flinch Mr. Tomas replied, “lately it's been getting slightly better, but not enough to call it a success.” He also inferred that how is cannabis a schedule 1 narcotic when the U.S. government has medicinal patents on the

David McNaughton, a moral particularist, contrasted the ideas of attending the circus with family versus reintroducing hanging for terrorist murders. McNaughton studied the precise nature of the various properties of the action. He stated that if he were to take his nephews and nieces to the circus for a treat, then he would be doing the right thing because he has succeeded in giving them pleasure and they enjoyed the experience. However, the point that McNaughton is trying to get across is that just because the outcome of an action produces pleasure, joy, and happiness, it does not always mean the action was the morally right decision to make. This is where he described the issue of reinstituting public hangings. Although public hangings

The United states has taken consistent efforts to control the distribution and manufacture of medications and other drugs, with many efforts regulate possession importation and sales of various types of drugs. While there are several historic pieces of legislation that deal with the regulation and control of various substances, there is no other single piece of legislation that is an important and impactful to health care as the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. This essay will explore the history of this legislation, its purpose and passage from proposal to law. Some may argue American this is true for American society as a whole, because of the implementation of this law and the addition of the Drug enforcement Agency as the agency that

(1989), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that drug courier profiles at airports could be used as a legitimate law enforcement tool, the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding. In a seven to two decision, the Court ruled that the drug courier profile could provide a “reasonable basis” for officials to suspect that a person is transporting drugs.

In the past forty years, the United States has spent over $2.5 trillion dollars funding enforcement and prevention in the fight against drug use in America (Suddath). Despite the efforts made towards cracking down on drug smugglers, growers, and suppliers, statistics show that addiction rates have remained unchanged and the number of people using illegal drugs is increasing daily (Sledge). Regardless of attempts to stem the supply of drugs, the measure and quality of drugs goes up while the price goes down (Koebler). Now with the world’s highest incarceration rates and greatest illegal drug consumption (Sledge), the United States proves that the “war on drugs” is a war that is not being won.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. CBP) is one of the oldest law enforcement entities in the U.S., and has a rich history of protecting our borders. A historical overview and understanding of the U.S. Customs origins displays how over the centuries the strategic mission of the CBP has evolved to combat threats of specific time eras. U.S. Customs has grown from collecting of revenue during the 1800s to fighting the War on Drugs, and well into the 21st century where combating terrorism would be yet another mission undertaken by CBP. Without a doubt, the U.S. Customs Service has played an active role in the protection of the nation’s borders against terrorism, criminal drug lords, and even the violation of intellectual property theft.

Of all the stories told by Allan McDonald during his presentation last Thursday, his recounting of the steps he took down the stairs of the Presidential commission hearings to announce his objection to the decisions made by his own company was the most inspiring. The story held elements of an archetypal story of a hero. Allan McDonald sat in the back of the hearing, cloaked in darkness. He was presented with the opportunity to step into the light of the commission hearing floor. However, stepping out to profess the truth would usher in years of testing his physical and mental fortitude through the process of litigation against himself, his family, and his friends. McDonald’s story tests the hero by sending him into the underworld of legal action

Author Peter Andreas explains that a "wide range of smuggling practices" has been part of the "cross-border economic exchange since the nineteenth century," and hence the present-day smuggling of drugs across the border into the United States is not at all a new phenomenon (Andreas, 2012, p. 29). In fact Andreas explains that the economic relationship between the United States and Mexico "…was founded on smuggling," and today (as drugs move from south to north) things are opposite of what they were two hundred or so years ago when the smuggling went from north to south (Andreas, 29).

Dangerous illegal drugs have plagued American citizens and their youth for as long as the country has been in existence. These harmful drugs are not only responsible for countless amounts of deaths, but the corruption of the American society in general. All too many times have these drugs been blamed for insanity, racism, rebellion, and straight up violence. Today the government is spending approximately $19.179 billion in one year to combat these evils (Gifford). Unfortunately, even with all of this effort going in to stop illegal drug use, the “War on Drugs” is yet to produce almost any positive results. Because of this, politicians are urging the government to spend even more money to combat the seemingly

“So how was the show?” – This is the question frequently asked once you come back from Milano Salone. “Fine” or “Good” would probably be your immediate answer, but deep down you knew is not technically true because it’s just too complicated to explain in an instant. I’ve struggled for many years to find the perfect answer. I tried to be general but still provide a hint of excitement. Although to be honest, I’m sure that sometimes my message didn’t go across as much as I would like. But it is what it is, right?

The Mexicans may be one of the top International drug traders in the world and one of the most influential distributors to the United States but they have many competitors, all going after the money and what they might referred to, as one of their biggest consumers. There are many different groups that circulate and distribute illegal drugs to and in the United States. According to an article written on (http://immigrationtounitedstates.org/466-drug-trafficking.html) called “Drug trafficking”, stated that criminal gangs operating regularly out of the South American region smuggle thousands of pounds of cocaine and heroin into the United States through many different entry points, commonly by land through Mexico, and sometimes by sea along Mexico’s east and west coasts, through the Caribbean Islands, and air routes. These violent criminal cartel members operating out of Mexico transport millions of pounds of countless narcotics into the U.S every year. It is reported that some of these groups began trafficking and dispensing drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and marijuana
