Most Widely Used Drugs: Aesthetics (PCP), Volatile liquids (lighter fluid), Barbiturates (sleeping pills), Tranquillizers, Amphetamines (meth), Cannabis (marijuana), Hallucinogens (LSD), Cocaine, Narcotics (morphine), Steroids, and Alcohol
Designer Drugs- chemical substances made and distributed in relatively small batches for the purpose of inducing mood-altering effects
Claims makers- people in a position to significantly influence the social construction of crime images in the media
Problems with the Law: might be too strict; reflect conservative standards not accepted by the majority, based on outdated morality
Utilitarianism: Kantian Philosophy- Jeremy Bentham’s “Greatest Happiness Principle”- control through pain and pleasure, ethical hedonism, and felicific calculus
Moral rightness or wrongness of an adaptation is a function of the amount of pleasure or pain that is produced
John Stuart Mill on Liberty: 2 mechanisms of the control of authority- necessary rights belonging to citizens, and representative parliament- people will not tyrannize themselves

Benefits of Freedom of Expression: prejudicial beliefs are looked at as ‘the price paid for an inestimable good’
3 Types of Belief: wholly false, partly, and wholly true
Benefit to Common Good: we don’t know if it is true or false until expressed, if it is in error, it could be partly true and the collision of adverse opinions might produce the whole truth
Benefits of Individuality: it is a pre-requisite for creativity and diversity
Limits of Authority: Relating to harm, it is the consequences or irrational conduct, rather than the conduct itself that should be punished
Education helps society ensure that a generation as a whole is generally moral
Reaction Offensive Action: those who are offended by an action should simply cease to socialize with those who commit the action
Utility of Such Freedom: this brings people to the good more effectively than physical, emotional, or financial coercion
Policy Implications: 2 principles- individual is not responsible to the society so long as their action doesn’t harm society, and those actions that harm society must be punished in accordance with the principles of democracy and fair justice
Harm Prevention: we must prevent harm; we must also do so with an eye of whether that which can cause harm does so exclusively, we must warn the unaware person, taxation
Source Control- destroying overseas
