Question: Write an essay of 1,000-1,250 words explaining the impact of social norms and shifting morality specifically on drug control legislation.

Why do you think the nation's opioid abuse and overdose is at historically high levels, yet marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in eight states? How might shifting societal values have influenced this trend?
