Drug use is dangerous because it can damage the brain and body, sometimes permanently
By Paula Tapia, Noa Piñeiro, Carla Collado
Drugs are substances that act on our central nervous system. In the brain, drugs act on neurotransmitters by altering the way they function, affecting the mood or perception. In addition, they can create physical or psychological dependence. The use of these substances is very common in today’s society.
Drugs interfere with the relationship with the environment, family and work, and even affect the learning process, especially in young people and adolescents. In addition, drugs increase the risk of accidents. Experts have not been able to find out the cause of drug use. The action of drugs, peer pressure, emotional distress, anxiety, depression and environmental stress may be some factors.
We believe that drug use is dangerous because it can damage the brain and body, sometimes permanently. It can hurt the people around you, including friends, family… drug use can also lead to addiction and some may end up in a rehabilitation center.
