Drugs.







There are good drugs and bad drugs.
There are drugs that can be swallowed, smoked, injected or inhaled.
There are many different reasons why people take drugs for example: some people hear that marijuana and mushrooms grow naturally so they must be safe, drugs that are sold at sores without a prescription must be ok, some people think that drugs might help with the stress, some people think that drugs will make them cool or rebellious and some people think that prescribed and steroids will improve their performance and looks. http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/facts/whydrugs.aspx#.
There are many reasons why some people start talking drugs many of their social. With the very first use chemical changes occur in the brain that may lead to addiction. Drug addiction is a disease. Every time a person takes drugs they increase their chances of becoming addicted.
In my opinion i don’t know why people take drugs when they know that they are bad for them and that they can even kill you. Sometimes i think that some people do not value their body enough to think about the consequences of talking drugs. I can understand that sometimes it’s because of peer pressure but if your friends are telling you that you should try drugs them may be they are not the right friends for you. Also is when i thought that people would be more carefully for example when i see what drugs have done to people like Amy winehouse it makes me even more against taking drugs.
I have read stories in the news papers, or seen TV documentaries and films where people have become so addicted to drugs that they spend all their money till they have nothing else. Then this will lead to the stilling off friends and family or even going into prostitution just so that they can get their next fix.

I was on some drug addiction website and i read other peoples stories on why they started taking drugs. The story i am going to talk about really got my eye.

A thirteen year old girl started taking cocaine at thirteen. Before this she stated that she was taking marijuana and alcohol but it didn’t really work for her. When i read this it really shocked me the fact that she wanted to take her drug abuse to the next level. It was as almost like she was experimenting with every sort of drugs she can get her hands on until she found the best one. To me it seemed like the more dangerous the drug the better it was because it gave her a buzz. Any way carrying on with the story so to make things even worse she started to use heroin. She said she used it to come down from cocaine and get some sleep. She started liking the heroin high and started using it all the time.
She said that she also took prescription drugs because they were so easy to get. She said she never had to buy them or get them from a doctor. She would just get them from friends who had gone through their parent’s medicine cabinet. She also thought that prescription drugs were “safer” than other drugs and figured that it was okay for people to take them, and if they were legal she would be fine.
Coming to a conclusion after readying other peoples stories i started to think do people really know the affects of drugs before and after they take them? In my opinion i think that the government need to do more in advising people about the dangerous of drugs and parents need to talk to their children more about drugs because what i realised when i read these stories most of the people who started talking drugs was because they lost a loved one, peer pressure or they started talking a drug that had less effect and wanted a drug that had more effect.
