Drugs

Drugs are very dangerous. There are many types of drugs. Some bad ones are Marijuana, tobacco, inhalants and alcohol.

Marijuana can make you see things that aren't really there. You could even see monsters! When that happens and if you go to a hospital and turn yourself in to the police, nothing will make you stop seeing things. That means that if you choose to use marijuana, you're choosing to see things for hours. It is illegal in the U.S.! You are not only going to see things for a long period of time but you get into trouble too with the police for choosing to use marijuana illegally!

Another example of bad drugs is tobacco. It's not illegal in the U.S. to use but for kids under 19 to buy them, it is. It is very unhealthy for you. Did you know that they give you bad breath and yellow teeth? I wouldn't like it if I had yellow teeth and bad breath. Also they increase the risk for you to get lung cancer. Did you know that each time you inhale a cigar or cigarette, your life gets shortened fifteen minutes? If you were going to be eighty when you died and you smoked your whole life. You might lose one whole year of life or more! Just imagine losing one whole year of your precious life. Then you would die at age 79. That is the same as being a kid and losing four whole summer vacations! For each minute of what you like, you lose more than that minute in your life! A lot more. It's a complete loss for you if you smoke. If you make it to nineteen without smoking then chances are, you will never smoke for the rest of your life! My brother is already nineteen so that means right now my brother most likely will never smoke his whole life.

Another bad drug is inhalants. The first time you use inhalants could kill you. That is why you should never even try it. You can also find inhalants in everyday washing fluid. Ever see a container say toxic? Then there might be inhalants in it. Never breathe in it!!

Another example of bad drugs is alcohol. Many people drink. So many people drink that most of them think alcohol is not a drug. Remember though, a drug is something that makes your body different internally and soon makes your body different externally like yellow teeth and stuff. Kids under 21 cannot drink. It is illegal to drink under the age of 21. Drinking can make you feel a bit dizzy if you drink too much. That's why it's illegal to drink before driving if the person who drank, drank a specific amount of wine and/or beer drives. Remember, you drink, you drive, you lose.

In conclusion I learned about how drugs affect yourself and how so many drugs are illegal so you won't try the drug out and get the effect. It is much much healthier.
