How Does This Sound?? Some kids think that drugs are healthy. “Vaping is good for you” because it doesn’t do anything. “Weed is good for you” because it helps you calm down and forget. These are perfect examples as to why they are not good. Vaping damages your lungs and can give your body cancer. Over time, smoking weed may cause chronic cough and other health issues. Both vaping, weed, cigarettes, alcohol, and many more drugs are not good for you or your body.

Drugs are used across the world. Whether they are used properly or abused. Drugs are easy to become addicted to. They can cause substance abuse, which leads to jail time. While drugs also heal people, for example, prescription drugs when used properly are beneficial. They need to be used in restraint because even medically given to you, they are addictive. For example, pain-reducing opioids, though they are helpful they are addictive. All minds are affected; it's not just a teenager thing. Drugs should be monitored by someone, and while it is slightly out-of-pocket, it's a lot better than spending possible years in prison.

Vaping may be a little better than weed or cigarettes but it still harms your body in multiple ways. It causes you to crave and if you don’t follow that craving it will lead to withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. It is a toxic substance. It raises your blood pressure and spikes your adrenaline, which then increases your heart rate. Increased heart rate can conclude to having a heart attack.

An abundance of alcohol can harm the liver. This can lead to hepatitis, which is the buildup of scar tissue that eventually destroys the organ. Alcohol may cause kidney, bladder, and prostate inflammation. Alcohol is also an addictive substance, though alcohol may relieve pain and make you forget things, too much will make you drunk and incoherent.

Opioids are a class of drugs used to reduce pain. Prescription opioids can be prescribed by doctors to treat moderate to severe pain, but can also have serious risks and side effects. Common types are oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine, and methadone. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever.
