Frequently asked questions about drugs abuse
Drug abuse is a menace that is threatening to disorient the youth of today. There is a lot of contradicting information on soft and hard drug abuse out there. It is actually difficult for people to know where things stand currently in terms of drugs abuse and drug misuse. There are more questions on drug abuse than answers. In this article, I will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about drugs abuse.
Is drug abuse really that bad?
There is a misconception among drug abusers that drug abuse is not all that bad. Drugs give you a false (read aloud) feeling of well-being. This feeling should not fool you. It is false. The drug itself may not be all that bad, but its abuse is not good. I will give you examples. Alcohol is good, but too much of it leads to liver cirrhosis among other diseases. Bhang is good too, but its abuse if bad for your health. Drug abuse is really bad, whichever way you look at it.
If drugs are that bad, why are they legalized?
We just noted that drug abuse is bad for your health. If so, one wonders why some drugs are legalized. For instance, bhang has been legalized in various parts of the world. Even before we go to bhang, let us talk about alcohol. It is legalized almost everywhere in the world. I would like to make one thing clear. While a government may legalize the use of a certain drug, it does not legalize its abuse.
Additionally, only the drugs that have been tested and proven to be clinically helpful to the human body are legalized. Therefore, if the medicinal and recreational use of bhang has been legalized in your state, take it, but only in fine moderation. If you abuse it, you will invite a host of health problems in your body, and you will just have yourself to blame.
Which drugs are most commonly abused today?
Bhang is one of the most widely abused drug today. Heroin, cocaine, steroids, and inhalants are other commonly abused drugs. Off course, tobacco and alcohol cannot miss in this list. Men have been the majority drug abuses, but recently, women are quickly catching up.
Is drug abuse and misuse the same thing?
There exists thin line between misuse and abuse of drugs. Drug abuse refers to taking a certain unprescribed drug in larger or smaller amounts than prescribed. It also involves taking a drug in a method other than the one that is recommended. It is mainly associated with hard drugs and other non-prescription drugs.
