Drugs+Good+Or+Bad?-Andrew

 This page is on whether you think drugs are bad or good. I think that drugs are bad but that is not my decision, it is up to you. Drugs can do many bad things to your body, like addiction, twitching, or illusions. Drugs are chemicals that change the way the body works. The effects depend on what drug is taken, intensifying or dulling the bodily senses.  One bad thing drugs do to your body is that you can become addicted to the drug. It states on __ www.helpguide.com __ that drug addiction is the cause of many problems. One of those problems is the inability to deal with mental or physical pain. The person that does a drug thinks that the drug they are using will release the pain. All medicines and illegal drugs are made from natural ingredients. Some from plants, others from seeds and grains. In the process of making the illegal drugs, they add chemicals and other additives that can cause a lot of bad damage to your body. These additives can cause the user to overdose the very first time they use it. Cocaine, Heroin, Marijuana, and Alcohol are some of the most common drugs that are abused. In other words, drug addiction can lead you down a path to the criminal way of life. You need that drug so badly, that you will go to the farthest extent to get money, so you can buy the drug. Your mind gets all messed up so your judgment of right and wrong is out of alignment. Plus you can get in a lot of trouble with the law. In our state of Pennsylvania, you could be fined or sent to jail depending on the amount found, and the type of drug. People who were arrested for the first time drug trafficking might go to jail for 91.7 weeks. Each additional time you are arrested, the time spent in jail goes up. This is an attempt to keep the drug traffickers off the streets.

Further more, __ www.helpguide.com __ states that your family is more affected than the user. Since your mind is messed up, you can have fights with loved ones. When you are addicted to drugs, you might not have the money to pay bills. Another problem that comes from using drugs is that your children might do drugs when they are older, because they saw their parent(s) doing them. Some people join gangs to get the drug they are craving. __ Helpguide.com __ also states that drug addiction can lead to domestic violence. Would you like to be living in your nice house one month, then living under a bridge the next? I don't want to be living under a bridge because of the weather. In the summer it might be O.K., but in the winter it would be cold, snowy, and you probably would not survive.  In conclusion, these are some reasons about how drug addiction can screw up your life, family, and your future. I still believe that drugs are bad, and I hope you don’t do drugs for these various reasons.
