Impacts of Drugs Misuse

A drug is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed, via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a temporary physiological (and often psychological) change in the body. Drugs which contain compounds that give addictive effects for users are really harmful. At the beginning, people, who misuse it, want to relive their stress by consuming the addictive drugs. They do not think about the dangerous impacts which will appear after they consume it. Teenagers often fall into this problem because their parents probably do not pay enough attention to their children. The impacts of consuming this kind of drugs are not only for the users, but also for their family, and even for our country. First, the users will have the impact for themselves. They will have brain function disorder and they do not grow normally as other teenagers. Besides, poisoning is the symptoms that arise due to the use of drugs in a lot number, it influences their body and behaviour. If they consume it in an excessive dose, they will get overdose that can cause death by stoppage of respiration or brain blooding. Overdose occurs due to the tolerance so that we need a dose which is greater or for a long time we stop consuming it, then we put up with the former dose in use. Health damage or organ function disorder like liver, heart, pulmonary, the kidney, the endocrine glands, reproduction, and skin diseases will also appear. In addition, the consumer of drugs will also get behaviour or mental-social disorders which are hard to control. They are easily offended, outraged, withdrawn from the community, and their relationships with family/fellow are disturbed. Their value of religion, culture, and social life, that they have, can decline. Furthermore, economic and law issues can be involved when the addicts are in debt to meet the need of drugs. They can steal money or sell his personal belongings or family. If they still go to school, they can use the school fees to buy drugs, so that they are threatened dropped out of school. Maybe, they can be arrested by police or even in jail.
