What Are Drugs?
By Heaven, Kiera, Keely and Anya !
There are different drugs. Drugs are a
medicine or substance. Drugs have an effect when digested into the body. Drugs are chemicals that change the way that
the body works .Medicines are legal drugs, That means that the doctor can
prescribe the drugs to them .Cigarettes and alcohol are legal and you must be
21 or older to buy alcohol and 18 to buy cigarettes .Some drugs are powder like
cocaine, Now on the other hand there are illegal drugs, some of the illegal
drugs are marijuana, Cocaine, ecstasy, crystal meth, Heroin. Sometimes kids and
teens try drugs to fit in or just to get rid of problems just like
alcohol. They might be willing to risk
their life to impress people or to try and try suicide. Cocaine can cause a
heart attack .Drugs don’t solve problems and you get hallucinations. There are
people that sell drugs on the streets called drug dealers .Never take anything
from strangers on the street, only take things from people you know or if you
are in a safe environment. You can tell if someone drugs if they lost interest
in school, change friends (hanging out with people who use drugs). Become mad or sad and can’t control emotions,
asked to be left alone a lot, having trouble concentrating. Sleep a lot even in
school, gets in fights for no reason, have red or puffy eyes, lose or gain
weight, cough a lot or have a runny nose all the time.

something of their lives, for example, people could take drugs to: Fit in,
Escape or Relax, To Relieve boredom, to seem Grown Up, to rebel, or To

Take Drugs?

There are many different ways you can
tell if someone is on drugs. Now we are going to tell you some of the different
ways. One of the ways you can tell if someone is on drugs is, there is sudden
changes in their behavior. You can tell if someone is on drugs because they
will have mood swings. They will have withdrawal from family members. Most
people want to look their best in public, but people who are on drugs don’t
care about their grooming or appearance. They will have loss of interests, for
example: they won’t be interested in doing the stuff they normally do. If
someone is on drugs you might notice a change in their sleeping pattern.
Someone on drugs might have red eyes, glassy eyes, the sniffles or a runny
nose. One of the main ways you can tell
if someone is on drugs is because they will likely have urges for drugs. They
will have a lack of energy and might not want to do anything physical because
they are too tired. They will get a dry mouth. They will have paranoid thinking
and might have trouble focusing. They will have a fairly increased appetite. If
you are on drugs, you will have decreased coordination. Someone on drugs might
be more relaxed then they would normally feel because if they have trouble
thinking they might not try to think at all. Someone on drugs might vomit a
lot, have chest pain, dizziness, panic attacks, tremors, confusion, slurred
speech and depression. Someone on drugs might also have chills and sweating,
pour judgement, irregular heartbeats, dilated pupils, extreme loss of weight,
muscle cramps, decreased inhibition, rashes around the nose and the mouth,
seizures and convulsions. A person on drugs might change their wardrobe to
their mood. People on drugs might have problems at school or work. After having
dr8ugs and being on drugs for a while the person would probably have physical
health issues. Someone on drugs might steal some money and go spending
unreasonable amounts of money on drugs or other stuff they think they need. Someone
who is on drugs might have some unusual smells from their breath, body or
clothing. If someone is on drugs they might have a lack of motivation. Drugs
can come in chewable tablets or in needle. Drugs might look like candy if they
are in the chewable tablet form, but if you see something like that on the
ground tell an adult and don’t pick it up and eat it. For your own safety, SAY
NO TO DRUGS!
How Do Drugs Affect You?
Moody Mason Jenson and Ben
If
you take a little dose of drugs you can get sped up. If you take a medium dose
of drugs it can slow you down. And if took a big dose of drugs you can get
poisoned or die. Drugs are chemicals. Only some drugs will directly affect the
minds. Drugs can go in different ways. You can get them from sniffing them, you
can eat them and get them from a needle. Drugs block all the different
sensations. Drugs can change the way your body works. You can get paranoia and get scared. You get
addicted very fast. Drugs will affect the mind. You can get hallucinations.
Some of the drugs will make you aggressive. Taking drugs can make you lose
self-control.
