I'm sorry Mrs. Fletcher if this doesn't have that much to do with the summer reading but I will try my best to relate it at the end.
I am at my grandma's house right now finishing up my summer homework on the computer while my mom is in the kitchen looking out of the front window and all of a sudden she says that there are some cop cars that pull up across the street at this drug house. So of course I had to get up and go to the window to see what was going on...
There were a total of 5 police cars and there was a lot of screaming and yelling. One of the cops gets a big pair of cutters and goes over and cuts the lock off the garage because the cops wanted in but the people there were claiming they didnt have a key. Well then my grandma decides to call the station to see if she can get information on what's going on. They told her it was a matter of trespassing because that house is suppose to be vacant.
After my grandmother hangs up we are trying to listen to what they are yelling about and one of the guys was a diabetic and was screaming for his insulin but they could not find it so an ambulance showed up. Then some guy in a car pulls up and gets out and starts talking to the cop and the cop yells at him to get in his car and leave because he isn't supposed to be there anyway. Well that guy ends up getting arrested. Then like 7-8 minutes later there are 2 fire trucks that pull up....The cops didnt find any drugs in the house though so either the people staying there sold all the drugs or someone already came and picked them up.
I think this kind of relates to Brave New World because everyone in that society was always doped up on soma and nowadays...there are more and more people getting addicted to multiple different types of drugs. For example, marijuana, cocaine, speed, etc.
And just like the citizens in Brave New World, taking soma out in public and not having to hide it, teens and adults in our society taking these illegal drugs, are being somewhat more open about it and doing it out in the open sometimes.
What do you think about this situation with more and more people becoming addicted to drugs and being out in the open with it?

I agree it does seem like people are becoming more open about the use of drugs. For example, now they are actually considering legalizing marijuana. In the past this has never even been thought about, it would have been though of as ridiculous. Although people are more aware of the dangers that drugs consist of compared to the past, It seems like people care less. Like now people are no longer ashamed to say that they use drugs.
