Addictions.

I actually believe that I don't know much of the drug of abuse topic, mainly because I’m a teetotaler person (that means that I do not drink alcohol, and don’t use drugs of abuse), and I don’t usually get involved with people who do that. So I just know about some drugs and their effect, by some books, movies, even some songs, and by other things like that.

Almost all the drugs have born like something to help the humans with some problem, for example, the morphine, it's a drug that was created to help people to endure the pain, but someone decided to mix it with many others ingredients and created the heroin, that is a hard drug of abuse; the same have happened with the creation of almost all the drugs. That’s mainly why I think that all the drugs have been born like something good and them were created to help us, but we insist in pass from that to something that bring us more pleasure in exchange for our health.

When someone is under drugs of abuse effect, there are plenty attitudes why you can see it, like sudden change in behavior, careless with personal presentation, red or glassy eyes, dilated pupils, excessive laughter out of control, etcetera. Apart of all of these effects, there are plenty dangers into the consumption of drugs of abuse, because some of them make your heart run faster and faster and this can cause heart attacks, others make your brain dumb  and kill your neurons, others got your lungs black, or kill your liver, etcetera.

Once you start to consume drugs into a regular way, you get used to the effect, and you need more and more so you can feel the same you felt before, and like that make you feel pleasure, you need to keep taken drugs, so you can feel good. 


I don’t really know many cases of drugs of abuses addiction, but I know people who are addicted to other things, for example, my mother is addicted to coffee, she needs to drink like 2 cups daily, or she get a hard head ache, and my cousin is addicted to coca-cola, he needs to keep him sugar level up all day, or he get upset for anything, I think that some years ago, I was kind of addicted to read (now I have no time to do it), I used to read like two books per week.
