Step one Introduction 1.Warm-up questions: Give the students the following topics to discuss and then ask them to answer these questions (1)Suppose a friend of yours is involved in illegal activities.What would you do to help him mend his way?

(2) Illegal drug trade and drug dealers For some drugs, large-scale drug production is not usually located in developed countries where those drugs are illegal — rather, those drugs are often manufactured or harvested in developing nations where corruption and instability allows producers to operate with minimal interference from law enforcement agencies.

Illegal supply to consumers is generally via criminal “drug dealers” who purchase drugs in bulk or produce their own. Such dealers are stereotypically associated with organized crime syndicates, though in reality they often work freelance and bear no connection to organized criminal groups. The motivations
