Say No To Drugs

Oct 17, 2011 By Ryan, 11

Drugs are found everywhere from schools to the doctor’s office. Even if they are prescribed by a doctor, they are not always good for you.

Reasons people may try drugs are depression, because they don’t know better, no supervision, medical reasons, peer pressure or hanging around the wrong people. As you can tell, it’s not unlikely you would find yourself in a position to try drugs. I’m not saying that ALL people will do drugs under these circumstances, only a few of them.

Drugs come in all shapes and sizes. Here are just a few of the most dangerous, known, and not so well known drugs; heroin, crystal meth, marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, prescription medication, acid, and even caffeine. Caffeine is found in many store bought products, but that does not make it good for you.   

Drugs are usually introduced into people’s lives by drug dealers through school, parties, friends, doctors or medicine chests. You can get drugs any time from morning to midnight. The drug dealers or “friends” might be lurking anywhere.

Getting hooked on drugs is NO laughing matter. The reason people get hooked on drugs is because they try it, they are stressed out and because it makes them feel better, they like the rush, which is when the endorphins come out and make them feel better.

The effects of drugs are sometimes drastic, and sometimes not very noticeable. Almost all drugs affect your brain by bringing endorphins out to make you feel better and many make your heart beat faster. That is why you are so hyper after you drink a soda, chocolate or tea or something with caffeine in it.

There are also natural things that make your endorphins come out. One of mine is riding a dirt bike or playing Capture the Flag with all the kids in my Boy Scout Troop. Whatever it is for you, I highly recommend that you do not try drugs. Hopefully you will find something useful in this article.

how do these kids get drugs they should not get that is bad.

i wonder, how on earth do these kids get a hold of these drugs?

I know, I know, we all had those moments when we tasted a sip of beer, whine, whiskey, any of those adult drinks. my lil bro once climbed up onto a chair before and gladly gulped down the rest of my mom's(?) margirita when we were not looking. just recently, i had a very small sip of beer made with cherries, (I LOVE CHERRIES SO THATS WHY LOL) and it didnt taste very good. ask your parents about those "new" tastes if you are interested.

but then, there are those little bits of only drinks for you EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IF YOU ARE BRAVE and a bit of drugs a few times a month for adults, but
just look at my small story below that shows what too many drugs can cause, and i mean WAAAAAYYYYY to many

imagine this: everyone on earth was broke because they all had drugs. they all didnt have enough money to buy food and care for their families. they were all dying, getting sick, and then passing it on generation to generation.

no one would go to work, no one would care for children, no one would do anything for helping earth. everyone would be to busy dealing and buying drugs, legal and illegal, they would all be to busy using them up and trying to find a easy way for money.

then when everyone DID find the time to care for their kids, (and having the responobility of pets) the adults suddenly ended up in the hostpital or in bed sick because of drugs.

then the kids would grow up and because of their parents nature, the kids would grow up to become the exact same way as their parents are.

do we want this to happen? do we want drugs to do this starting from maybe YOU? humans are already in big danger for they are carelessly polluting our planet. this can add on if so many people just throw and toss their lives like a peice of garbage.

i know no one would like to live like that, i know no one would aso like to add anymore danger to the human race, so drugs, pollution, and every other horror constantly popping up coming from the bigger problems like the pollution, will someday end this world if something is not done. dont lead a life like this. please. just throwing your life around wont only just affect you, but the world.

every PEACE counts.

one time i heard about a boy who had this thing idk what but his doctor prescribed him marijuana it was crazy

Genna   1 year ago

marijuana is used in moderation to treat some illnesses.

another drug is opium - i learn about a few years ago in history it was really big at one point. pp kept having 2 increase the amount u took cuz the smaller amounts after a while stoped making pp high so theyd take more and a reason sum pp liked it was cuz it made them have weird dreams and a lot of pp on it started writing poetry. if i remember correctly opium is made from oil from poppy seeds or something like that. China had a big prob with it at 1 point and pp kept smuggling it in and out of china and other places and they some times just traded it 4 stuff they wanted cuz it was worth soooo much it was crazy some of the pp pay millions 4 one chest full of it

Drugs are wrong. I don't get why people want to take drugs in the first place. People keep shipping drugs illegally as well. Other than anti-bullying stuff, our district also does this thing called D.A.R.E and we learn about why not to take drugs and stuff.

You forgot Cocaine, really really bad for you. Not too bad when it's in it's natural form though, it's when people put a whole bunch of chemicals into it is when it becomes a real drug! I went down to Peru, and hiked in the Andes Mountains where, the guide (who later got us lost) gave us all some coco leaves to suck on. It wasn't strong at all, and it tasted horrible, but it helped me breath normally. Don't worry, it didn't effect my brain in any way, I'm still far ahead of my grade, but the moral of this, is that, drugs can come from natural stuff, but its when humans interfere with the stuff is when they get really bad.

I might want to add, humans are part of nature too, everything about them, it's just that, we need to control our actions, because, we are the most dangerous things out there. We have to power to either, save, or destroy the world. I'd like to save.
