Editorial Report B

This is another section to be edited.

Video of propaganda.

The average drug addict is commonly thought of as someone that chooses to do drugs over other important things. It is hard for those that have not experienced drug addiction, or know someone that has experienced it, to fully understand the psychological process that goes on inside the mind of a drug addict. This is true for any addiction really.

The source of addiction does not come from any particular object or action. It depends on the kind of experiences that shaped the user, usually this happens at a young age. The brain is shaped as a person grows, not stopping until about 25 years of age. The brain is especially formative in the early years of life. Addictive behavior stems from environments that produce certain formations of the brain. The environments include, abusive parents, poverty, traumatic events, malnourishment, and other forms of stressful situations. These environments are not limited to causing addiction with only drugs. Addiction can take forms in many different ways. Someone can be addicted to a physical substance, that directly changes how the reward system in the brain works, or psychologically, activating the same reward center through behavior. Either way, the source of the addiction is not that actual substance or behavior being abused. While addiction is a problem, it is not the problem that will fix the user’s destructive behaviors.

Video of Jayden

Jayden is a perfect example of the faulty logic that dictates drug policy. Where pharmaceutical medicine failed, and actually caused an addiction problem, medical marijuana helps Jayden. These are the stories people are less familiar with. Many people see the drug war as a black and white issue when there are many real victims of drug addiction and drug prohibition.

This is the first section of my video. I added the second part to show the unlikely victims of the drug war. This was mainly to appeal to the emotions of the audience, as the subject is a young child. 

I also decided to add to videos. This was to explain the situations better and provide credibility. They will allow the stories to resinate more with the audience and help keep the video interesting.
