What role could art play in shaping a society's perspective on legalized drugs?

Art could potentially change people's perspectives on the idea when it comes to drug liberalization. Maybe through art pieces, literature, and maybe musicians, the idea of banning drugs in some areas could allow people to realize the problem or agree with the idea of it. It could bring more attention to drug liberalization.

Art could guide people and drive them away from the drugs.

It could show us the long term effects and side effects.

One motivation for legalization is the economic benefits that can come from the regulated commercial availability of marijuana. Increased tax revenues, job growth, and investment opportunities all are powerful incentives to push for legalization.

Art comes in various forms, whether in music, dance, painting, literature. These forms of art all come from one thing- The emotions, feelings, and self-expression we experience as humans. I think we could change the negative stance on drugs within our country by emphasizing self-expression and the emotion behind behind control of our own autonomies within art.
