Drugs and how they affect your health.
When people talk about the "drug problem," they usually mean abusing legal drugs or using
illegal drugs, such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth and heroin.
Cocaine is a white powder that comes from the dried leaves of the coca plant that is found in
South America. Crack cocaine is a form of the drug that gives a very quick, intense high.
Crack is made by cooking cocaine powder with baking soda, then breaking it into small
pieces called rocks. It got its name because it crackles when it is heated and smoked.
Heroin comes from the opium poppy, a flower that grows in Asia, Mexico, and South
America. Pure heroin is a white powder that tastes really bad. Some heroin is dark brown, and
black tar heroin is either sticky or hard and looks like roofing tar.
Ecstasies are tablets of different shapes, size and color (often white) which are swallowed.
Can leave users feeling tired and depressed for days. Periods may be heavier, irregular or stop.
