DRUGS CONSUMING
Drugs are an addictive substance for the people who use them, especially young people who
have a fragile mind, low willpower and immaturity. This substance causes terrible effects
after a long time of consuming. Everyone knows what drugs are, right? but not all how much
damage they cause in the people who consume it.
Drugs are consumed for the effects they cause in people, the sensation of leaving problems
behind, as if they did not exist or simply for curiosity. Drugs can give relaxation, calm and
tranquility to the people who consume them, in addition to sometimes distorting the reality in
which they live and that is why their consumption is popular.
Trying a drug and becoming addicted to it is easy, what is not so easy is to get out of the
vicious circle in which you later find yourself.
The most consumed types of drugs are:
Methamphetamines: The drug that contributes the most to violent crimes and is one of the
most consumed in the world. It is a white crystalline powder that has a bitter taste and is
almost always consumed by swallowing it, sucking it or by injections.
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. But
it still affects your senses, your judgment and your notion as a person. The misuse of
methamphetamine has psychological, medical and social consequences for those who
consume it.
Problems such as malnutrition, violent behavior, memory loss and damage to the vascular
system, among others, but beyond that, social problems that range from your closest
environment, which is the family, to aggression with people outside people who use drugs.
Methamphetamine use can be prevented and addiction to it can be treated with effective and
safe centers specialized in treatments and above all with the person's effort to get out of this
vicious circle that only brings bad things.
Cocaine: Cocaine that comes from the leaves of the coca plant, which is used for medicinal
purposes: is a drug. Its presentations are almost always in powder or solid form, both
crystalline white in color. People consume the drug by inhaling the white powder that is
harmful to their health.
We can consider this drug the most famous of all, since it is widely mentioned and perhaps it
is because it is one of the most widely used in the world.
This drug can cause intense euphoria and various health problems such as agitations, tremors
and muscle spasms, which can lead us to think why someone would want to consume it, but
unfortunately there are people who fall into this bad side of consumption: addiction.
There are already sites specialized in dealing with people who use drugs, so it is not difficult
to find help if you find yourself in a situation like this. The really difficult thing is that the
person himself wants to be helped to stop using drugs.
Marijuana: The 3rd most common in consumption. The psychoactive drug that results from
the mixture of dried flowers, of grayish green color. Marijuana has medicinal uses or
everyday uses such as making tea, when the substance that makes it a drug is not added.
Marijuana has been illegally marketed for some time, it has been integrated into the famous
vaporizers and in fact the cigars that many people smoke have marijuana. When they
consume marijuana they usually do it in rolls and smoke it like a cigarette and in fact it
disguises itself as one, which allows it to be easier to transit.
People who use marijuana begin to feel its effects almost immediately and that is one reason
why it is easy to become addicted to it. Many people experience a pleasant euphoria and a
feeling of relaxation and tranquility, it can cause them to perceive brighter colors or an
increase in appetite. If its consumption is frequent, it causes deficiencies and health problems.
As already mentioned, getting out of this is not so easy but some things can make the
situation more manageable, such as seeking support and assistance from people trained with
addicts, with the person's willingness to set limits and challenge what he does not allow
himself.
In conclusion, drug use is something that can be prevented by having the right information
and being aware of what we do in our decision-making. When people use drugs they are not
aware of how much harm it does to them, and they let themselves be convinced by other
people to do it or they also see it as a way out of the problems that everyone has in their lives.
Drugs seriously affect physical health but they also deeply affect mental and emotional health
in addition to causing ruptures between social ties with others. Getting out of drug use is not
difficult, you can go to specialists to help you treat addiction and improve, if you have people
who support you this process may be easier but remember that everything depends on
yourself.
