DRUGS -THE TRUTH
Everyone has the right to make their own choices in life.
However, make sure you know the facts before you make a choice about drugs.
92% of those who begin using ecstasy later turn to other drugs.
Over 200 billion pounds change hands yearly on illicit drugs which is almost double the international movie industry.
Drugs are essentially poisons.
Any drug is addictive.
We use our mind to recall mental image pictures. These pictures are our memories and we use them to solve problems in life. Close your eyes and think of a cat and you will get a picture of a cat. Drugs can, and do, blur or obscure mental image pictures. They distort the pictures and in doing so distort the users perception of what is happening around them.
Drugs destroy creativity.
Someone who is sad might use drugs seeking a false sense of happiness. But it does not work. Cocaine, for instance, lifts a person into a false cheerfulness, but when the drug wears off, he or she crashes even lower than before. As he takes more of the drug, trying to regain that cheerful high, each time he feels the effect less and plunges deeper into the lows.
