THE TRUTH ABOUT DRUGS.....
Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount
taken determines the effect.
A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds
you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative
(slows you down). An even larger amount
poisons and can kill.
This is true of any drug. Only the amount
needed to achieve the effect differs.
But many drugs have another liability: they
directly affect the mind. They can distort the
user’s perception of what is happening around
him or her. As a result, the person’s actions
may be odd, irrational, inappropriate and even
destructive.
Drugs block off all sensations, the desirable
ones with the unwanted. So, while providing
short-
term help in the relief of pain, they also
wipe out ability and alertness and muddy one’s
thinking.
Medicines are drugs that are intended to speed
up or slow down or change something about
the way your body is working, to try to make
it work better. Sometimes they are necessary.
But they are still drugs: they act as stimulants
or sedatives, and too much can kill you. So if
you do not use medicines as they are supposed
to be used, they can be as dangerous as
illegal drugs.
SO KEEP AWAY FROM HARD DRUGS.
