| There are a tons of drugs in our world today!! The major ones are steroids, methamphetamines, hallucinogens, cocaine, and yes caffeine. The definition of a drug is a substance that alters your physical or mental well-being. Some names for Methamphetamines are: speed, meth, crystal, crank, tweak, go-fast, ice, glass, uppers, and black beauties Methamphetamine is not what it seems. Even speed drugs are not always safe. Gija-jolts of the well known stimulants caffeine or ephedrine can cause stroke or cardiac arrest when overused by people with sensitivity to them. Methamphetamine can kill you. An overdose of meth can rsult in heart failure. Long term physical effects such as liver, kidney and lung damage can also kill you. Some names for Cocaine are: coke, dust, toot, snow, blow, sneeze, powder, lines, rock(crack) Cocaine is addictive. Cocaine interferes with the way your brain processes chemicals that create feelings of pleasure, so you need more and more of the drug just to feel normal. People who become addicted to cocaine start to lose interest in other areas of their life, like school, friends, and sports. Some names for hallucinogens are: lysergic acid diethylamide-LSD, acid, blotter. psilocybin-magic,mushrooms,shrooms. phencyclidine-PCP, angel dust, boat, ozone, wack. ecstacy-E, X, XTC Hallucinogens affect your self-control. The impact of hallucinogens varies from time to time, so there is no way to know how much self control you might maintain. They can cause you to mix up your speech, lose control of your muscles, make meaningless movements, and do aggressive or violent things. Some names for steriods are: arnolds, gym candy, pumpers, stackers, weight trainers, juice Steroids affect your appearance. In both sexes steroids can cause male-pattern baldness, cysts, acne, and oily hair and skin. Steroids affect you mood. Steroids can make you angry and hostile for no reason. There are recorded cases of murder attributed to intense anger from steroid use. Drugs are a very serious thing. If you think this cant happen to you , please think again. Before I go I'd like to let you know tobacco is a drug also. If you have any questions please go to www.health.org. |
