According to the RAE a drug is a substance preparation with a stimulating, depressing, narcotic or hallucinogenic effect. When we talk about drugs we relate them directly to dependence, violence or addiction. However some of them have benefits for us or are used for medical treatments such as marijuana, may be used for asthma, spasms, muscle convulsions, pain and as an enhancer of cancer therapies in places like Germany, Italy, California and Holland. But it´s also true that drugs cause a lot of problems.
These lasts years the consumption of drugs has increased: alcohol and marijuana are
the most consumed ones, and cocaine addiction increases every day. Nowadays young people like
to try drugs because at first they cause them happiness and wellness, but
the long-term effects can be terrible for their health: like the destruction of
neurons; development of psychiatric illnesses such as psychosis, depression or
schizophrenia; injuries to the liver; malfunction of the kidneys and nerves;
development of contagious diseases such as AIDS or Hepatitis; heart problems
such as heart attack; early death…
They also cause problems in our society, there are 4 million accidents each year because of drugs, 38% of homicides are committed under the effects of them, they are also cause for unemployment, family problems and divorces.
There are different ways to consume drugs:
snorting, smoking, through injections, orally… Now it is very easy to get
drugs, so you have to be very careful and not fall into this dangerous area.
Wow, this post open your mind for thinking that drugs are bad but that also have benefits. In my own oppinion there are other healthier options that consuming drugs.
ReplyDeleteI hope that in a future, little by little, this addiction problem can be solved so that the only drugs have a medical and healthy purpose
