Addiction and drugs
Narcotics are dangerous and illegal. Narcotics also known as drugs have several forms. You
can consume drugs in a shape of a pill, by injecting it with a needle, smoking it and even
baking it into a food and then eating it. Let's focus on five drugs marijuana, ecstasy, heroin,
mushrooms and LSD.
1. Marijuana
Marijuana is a green and brown mix of dried flowers, stems, seeds and leaves from the hemp
plant Cannabis sativa. The main active chemical is THC (tretrahydrocannabinol), which
moves quickly through the bloodstream to the brain and other organs throughout the body.
Marijuana is a mild hallucinogen that can also act as a depressant or a stimulant. Many people
think that it's a plant, so it's natural, and natural is always good-right? Think again, because
both natural and synthetic versions of marijuana can cause a long-lasting, negative impact on
your developing brain. Some movies and music make "stoner" culture seem cool, natural and
like it's not a big deal
