Drugs


ARE DRUGS EVER A GOOD THING? EVEN WHEN THEY ARE MEANT TO BE HELPING US?

The picture above is a table of illegal drugs taken my people and the classifaction they have depending on how bad they are, but are any types of drugs good?

ALCOHOL

Alcohol is part of the list and most people drink and most people are sensible about the amount they drink, but more and more people are getting in trouble due to alcohol related insidents. That is why there is age limits on when people can drink and are told the senible amount to drink, but does anyone really pay attention to these warning. More and more underage drinking is happening because the teenages find it as a good way to rebel against the system, but is it really the teenagers fault or is it the fault of the person who makes it possible for them to get hold of the alcohol.

ILLEGAL DRUGS

When people talk about the "drug problem," they usually mean abusing legal drugs or using illegal drugs, such as marijuana, ecstasy,Heroin, LSD, crystal meth and cocaine. (Marijuana is generally an illegal drug, but some states allow doctors to prescribe it to adults for certain illnesses.)

MEDICINES

Medicines are legal drugs, meaning doctors are allowed to prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them, and people are allowed to buy them. But it's not legal, or safe, for people to use these medicines any way they want or to buy them from people who are selling them illegally.






Above is a list of medications, there uses, the advantages and disadvantages from using them. The question is are these medications really worth the risk they may hold and are they really safer than the illegal drugs?
