Question

What are some reasons why using drugs is dangerous

Answer 1

Answer:

Drugs can affect feelings and moods, judgment, decision making, learning, and memory. But they can also cause or worsen other health problems—cancer; heart disease; lung disease; liver function; mental disorders; and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and tuberculosis.

Explanation:

Drugs excite the parts of the brain that make you feel good. But after you take a drug for a while, the feel-good parts of your brain get used to it. Then you need to take more of the drug to get the same good feeling. Soon, your brain and body must have the drug to just feel normal.

Answer 2

Answer:

• If you're a child, drugs can stunt your brains development.
• If you're an adult, drugs can still alter your brain in dangerous ways, such as addiction, reliance, and creating mental health issues.
• If you use illegal substances you might go to jail.
