WHY DRUGS IS NOT GOOD FOR US

Witnessing the situation of our society today, we can conclude that harmful drugs became the headline news. In every corners of the globe, this drugs is impossible to control. Most of the users were delinquent teenagers hooked to the use of this prohibited drugs. In continuing this habit may cause dangers to mind and body.

Drugs injured the mind by paralyzing the brain cells where the power of reasoning was located. The degree of the damage was heavy curtailing the ability of the mind to think straight losing its proper coordination. It is fatal to those with heart disease. It increases the pulse rate demoralizing the regular heart beat pattern by altering its good performance.

There are uncontrollable behavior of laughter and threat. This behavior is very dangerous when the mind was disconnected and disrupted. He was in a period of dreamy state with eyes opened, looking somewhere without direction and completely lost in the world of the living. There were tremors in his hand and the body failed to hold anything and losing his strength. His focus was limited with sensitiveness to light.

He cannot walk straight. His body coordination was affected as if he was in a hang-over episode. His eyes became red and sleepy. He talked without direction losing the grip to reality. Dryness to the mouth was visible, nausea and vomiting were common.

No more care was given to his body. Long hair with dirty clothes. He did not mind at all. It was his world, the world of the living dead.

The reason of taking drugs was already deeply rooted in his heart and mind, as if he no longer exist. But it is not the way to justify his action. If this is a sign of protest, this is not the way the human mind work reasonably. He cannot change the world, but he can change his own life if he is willing to lead to the right direction.

We just hope that those delinquent persons may realize that what they did is not a healthful way of living instead a destruction to the inner fabric of their personality.
