Addiction: From coffee and tea to drugs of abuse

Drugs are not something to mess around, according to the WHO, “drugs is a term of varied use which in medicine refers to any substance with the potential to prevent or cure a disease” and in a colloquial language, drugs are psychoactive substances and often even more concretely, to illegal drugs. there are drugs denominated hard and soft.

In my personal experience I have tasted some drugs, like marihuana, alcohol and cigar and what I can say about tasting them is that they make you feel better in some way, alcohol take away your inhibitions, marihuana makes you feel relax and calm, but cigar is the one that I don’t like the taste and sensation that it brings, you feel drowned and it leave a bad taste in your mouth, and a horrible smell in your clothes and hands.

Some benefits of these drugs are

Alcohol: reduction of the risk of heart attacks, protects against diabetes  

Marihuana: Treat migraines and premenstrual syndrome, delays tumor growth, it prevents Alzhaimer’s, pain, calm the OCD and Tourrette, between others.

But there also some risk that people take when they are addict to this drugs just like addiction to alcohol can break a family, a financial stability and brings a lot of damage to the body and organs.

And marihuana have some bad effects to in de addiction to this drug like, tachycardia, disorientation, lack of physical coordination, and it take to depression or drowsiness.

Personally I know a person that is addicted to take pills, and I can say that her life is so miserable right now, she lost her family, her job, her husband and she only have her kids supporting her and her mother, but she is not living a good life, she is always in depression and she isolate from everyone.

Drugs abuse is bad for health, social life and wellbeing, people change their life for drugs and they should be more careful before being an addict.
