Drugs.....



There are many different types of drugs including narcotics, hypnotics, stimulants, inebriants and hallucinogens. Even though these are all drugs some people may not class certain things as drugs; for example tea and coffee are stimulants, but because everyone uses them everyday no problem is surrounding them. But they can become highly addictive and bad for your health, just the same as other well known drugs for example heroin and cocaine.

After looking at this picture its made me think why on earth people actually take drugs when this is the real effect of not even that long a durg misuse.
Personally iv never taken drugs (such as ecstasy, cannabis etc) and dont think i ever will; i dont really see the attraction to them especially after i know what they can do to your body and especially after looking at the picture above.
Although it is easy to see why people become addicted very easily; for example a young teenager may just copy their friends and think its harmless and fun but then end up with a life threatening addiction. Or it may be becasue they like the early effects of drugs which may allow them to forget the stresses in their life or allow them to become more confident, but afterwards it just makes them feel horrible.

Heres a link to some real life stories about people who have been addicted to drugs:
