DRUGS: WHAT YOU


SHOULD KNOW

These days,
drugs can be found
everywhere, and it may
seem like everyone’s
doing them. Lots of people are tempted by the excitement or escape that drugs seem to
offer.
But learning the facts about drugs can help you see the risks of chasing this excitement
or escape. Here’s what you need to know.
The Deal on Substances
Thanks to medical and drug research, there are thousands of drugs that help
people. Antibiotics and vaccines have revolutionized the treatment of infections.
Medicines can lower blood pressure, treat diabetes, and reduce the body’s rejection of
new organs. Medicines can cure, slow, or prevent disease, helping us to lead healthier and
happier lives. But there are also lots of illegal, harmful drugs that people take to help them
feel good or have a good time.
How do drugs work? Drugs are chemicals or substances that change the way our bodies
work. When you put them into your body (often by swallowing, inhaling, or injecting
them), drugs find their way into your bloodstream and are transported to parts of your
body, such as your brain. In the brain, drugs may either intensify or dull your senses, alter
your sense of alertness, and sometimes decrease physical pain.
A drug may be helpful or harmful. The effects of drugs can vary depending upon
the kind of drug taken, how much is taken, how often it is used, how quickly it gets to the
brain, and what other drugs, food, or substances are taken at the same time. Effects can
also vary based on the differences in body size, shape, and chemistry.
Although substances can feel good at first, they can ultimately do a lot of harm
to the body and brain. Drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, taking illegal drugs, and
sniffing glue can all cause serious damage to the human body. Some drugs severely impair
a person’s ability to make healthy choices and decisions. Teens who drink, for example,
are more likely to get involved in dangerous situations, such as driving under the influence
or having unprotected sex.
