THE DRUGS

WHAT IS A DRUG?

A DRUG IS ANY CHEMICAL  YOU TAKE THAT AFFECTS  THE WAY YOUR BODY WORKS.

A DRUG MUST BE ABLE TO PASS FROM YOUR BODY INTO YOUR BRAIN.

DRUGS AREN´T GOOD FOR ANYONE BUT THEY ARE WORSE FOR A KID OR TEEN BECAUSE OUR BODIES ARE STILL GROWING.

DRUGS CAN DAMAGE THE BRAIN, HEART AND OTHER IMPORTANT ORGANS.

While using drugs, people are also less able to do well in school, sports, and other activities. 

THERE ARE A LOT OF TYPES OF DRUGS, SOME OF THEM ARE LEGALS LIKE MEDICINES, CIGARETTES OR ALCOHOL AND OTHER ARE ILLEGAL SUCH AS MARIJUANA, ECSTASY, COCAINE, HEROINE, CRYSTAL METH AND LSD.

But remember cigarettes and alcohol are not healthy.
