Why Are People So Quick to Condemn Illegal Drugs?
Question by Alex: Why are people so quick to condemn illegal drugs?
Okay so its been proven that some recreational drugs are bad for you (I believe strongly that there is a difference between “use” and “abuse”). I’m not denying this fact. But why when government officials broadcast information about the dangers and what can happen people believe it without question, yet when research and evidence shows that these substances are not as bad a previously thought, people are so reluctant to accept this. Why is this?
Adding this for the benefit of the first two respondents, my question was regarding the stigma around drug use not the bad effects. I understand that drugs have negative effects and tragedies happen. Just as alcohol does yet drinking is acceptable in moderation why not other substances proven to be eqaully bad or even in some cases better for you. Please answer the question I am asking not crap that I already know. As for drugs fuelling crime; if the drugs were regulated by the government then it wouldn’t would it? Fyi I don’t use drugs myself

What Publishers Take Books About Life on Substance Abuse?
Question by Alicia A: what publishers take books about life on substance abuse?
Hello,
I was wondering what publishers take or are interested in stories about substance abuse? I looked at ellen hopkins publishers website but I cannot find any information on their publishing services, any publisher that accepts this type of book would be great.
Thank you
Best answer:
Answer by Steven J Pemberton
It doesn’t really work like that. You need to figure out who would be most likely to read your book – teens or adults – and then decide which genre it fits into. Substance abuse is a bit too specific to be a genre.
If you can’t find information on how to submit a manuscript to a specific publisher, that probably means that publisher doesn’t accept them directly from authors. If you want to send work to that publisher, you need to get a literary agent, who will submit it for you. Most of the publishers you’ve heard of are like this now. So you need to find some agents who represent your genre and your likely readers.
