Harmful Effects and Consequences of Drug Abuse

                                            

  • Drugs cannot only hurt you, but your friends and family as well
  • Drugs can become addictive and you will lose control
  • Drugs are used to escape real life problems but you escape them temporarily
  • Consumption of certain drugs can lead you to prison
  • You close yourself to opportunities
  • Drugs make you feel like you're in control but you really aren't
  • You have no one else to blame except yourself
The impact of drugs is apparent in almost every aspect of our society. We can see it in grocery stores, at restaurants, in professional sports, and on TV. Drugs truly holds a significant place in our culture. Alcohol is an example. However, the subject of alcohol often makes people a bit defensive. Some argue that it is wrong to drink at all, others hold the position that moderate drinking is acceptable, and many are unsure of their opinion, or have no beliefs about the “morality” of drinking. I believe complete abstinence is the highest and best way because of alcohol's effects on our nation, its influence on our families and social circles, and its impact on its users, both physically and emotionally.
