Effects on the Individual:People who use drugs experience a wide array of physical effects. Drugging may lead to a period of anxiety, fatigue, depression.Users of marijuana and hallucinogenic drugs may experience flashbacks, unwanted recurrences of the drug's effects weeks or months after use. It is known to everyone that sharing hypodermic needles used to inject some drugs dramatically increases the risk of contracting AIDS and some types of hepatitis. Many drug users even engage in criminal activity, such as burglary and prostitution, to raise the money to buy drugs, and some drugs, especially alcohol, are associated with violent behavior.
Effects on the Family:
Its effect on mood and performance, can lead to marital problems and poor work performance or dismissal from work places. Drug use can disrupt family life and forces the user to continue using drugs by covering up, supplying money, or denying there is a problem. Pregnant drug users, bear a much higher rate of low birth-weight babies who may not survive.
Effects on the Society:
It affects society in many ways. Drug-related crime can disrupt neighborhoods due to violence among drug dealers, threats to residents, and the crimes of the addicts themselves.
In fact everyone is aware of the harms done by drugs in different aspects of life but still people consume it. Once people get into this habit, it becomes very hard for them to turn back but still it is not impossible. As Kurt Cobain says "Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self esteem....."
"STAY HEALTHY.... AVOID DRUGS!!!"
