Drugs, the effects.
The picture shows a women before she took drugs and after she took drugs, it shows clearly the effect that drugs can have upon your appearance aswell as damaging your body. The main questions that comes to mind when discussing drugs and after having a lecture on it is, what effects drugs have up on people and what so fascinating about drugs that it attracts people to them. Firstly the effects of drugs vary depending on what type of drug is taken, how much is taken, how often it is used and how quickly it gets to the brain. So what attracts people to drugs? Many people take drugs because they believe it gives them pleasure, although the substances can feel good at first, they can do a lot of harm to the body and brain. Heroin for example, causes a warm relaxing feeling to the body however it is an addictive drug and if people overdose the effects can result in being in a coma or even lead to death. A lot of teenagers are also attracted to drugs as they believe that it will help them think better and become more popular, many people also take drugs when depressed to try and out their problems and feelings, but don’t realise that the problems will always be there and ruin their life by becoming addicted to drugs. I have posted two links below which explains the effects and attractions of drugs in more depth and the effects of heroin and discusses facts of other aspects of “being bad” such as alcohol addiction.
