Drug Abuse

Drug Abuse

Heroine, cocaine and marijuana are drugs that are familiar to us all, much has been said about there mind altering and addictive properties and the dangers attached to using them illegally. One of the biggest problems with these types of drugs is that they are so addictive that people will do almost anything to get their next hit. Stealing is often a problem associated with drug abuse, violence and mood swings also take affect after the initial high when the user is experiencing that inevitable low.

I wonder what class of drug nicotine would be if it were discovered today, it has been found to be even more addictive then heroine! I’m not a smoker but I know plenty of people that are and out of all the people that I know who are smokers nearly all of them are trying to quit and have been for a long time, it is obviously extremely difficult to give something up that is so addictive, you can see the stress that it causes.

Drug abuse is dangerous and takes the lives of hundreds a year in the UK alone (not including those affected by nicotine). People do it because they like the way they feel while they are on the high but sooner or later these drugs will become more and more addictive and you will require more and more of the drug to satisfy the craving until it just gets out of hand. I think that children need to be made aware of the problem from quite an early age and be encouraged to make the right decision before they are given an opportunity to try a dangerous drug, including, in my opinion, cigarettes.
