Drug use is a growing rapidly in the United States, especially among teens and
even younger kids. whether its marijuana, cocaine, or anything else considered illegal.
The misuse of drugs can lead to negative consequences in ones life. There are many in
depth reasons for not leading a path of illegal drug abuse.
The first major reason being your physical health. Inhaling drugs like marijuana
clearly is dangerous. If done enough, it can have the same effects that smoking cigarettes
can cause. Marijuana has five times as much tar as the amount of tobacco. Injecting drugs
with needles, such as heroine, can be fatal in a shorter time. Consider that every time the
addict uses a needle by another addict, fatal diseases like Aids, or even hepatitis C can be
spread. Every day, someone uses a dirty needle and later finds that he has contracted a
serious illness. Addicts will also be less motivated to exercise or take care of themselves
when using these types of drugs.
The second one being how it will effect your family. Drug addicts often think and
act differently when using drugs. They will often steal from their family, and be known to
abuse them physically and mentally. Even though many families are destroyed by
alcoholism, repeated drug use can destroy them too.
Another big reason is job careers. Usually before someone even attempts to get a
job there is a drug test. So, before the career even begins it is over. For those who already
have careers, They need to consider that drug use increases the chances of losing a job.
All the work put in can quickly be destroyed by an addiction to many drugs. Losing a job
because of drug addiction doesn 't look good, and especially doesn’t help you for getting
the next job.
The fourth reason is Friends and relationships. Friends are often more willing to
work with the drug addict
