Legal Addictive Substances

When most people think about addictive substances, they think about cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc. We beleive that we need to have more awareness about the dangers and consequences of abusing legal addictive substances - that is, susbstances that are approved by law for sale by retail outlets.

Caffeine, alcohol and tobacco are three of these substances. Each of them cause addiction and have the potential of being abused to the point where they negatively impact peoples' lives the same way illegal substances do.
