Drugs and Health

What did you read that you didn’t know before?
I looked at some statistics on the Internet on the amount of people use drugs for different reasons and I was blown away by some of the things that people do.

Does this blog post change your views? If so, how?

This blog changed my views against drug as people are using it for the sake of stress for example and when you read facts of what drugs do to you it is quite scary knowing what they do and people actually consume these things. For example marijuana is used for a anti depressant but people are in danger because some people that sell it they may insert some other substances which can be harmful.

How might the information in this post be useful to you?

This information could be useful to me to inform other people about the problems of drugs on why they are illegal etc.

What are some of the risks involved in doing drugs? Do you think about these risks? Why or why not?

The risks in taking drugs are that you can seriously injure you and even kill you and I think that to the  people know that it does hat to them it is very upsetting people have to result to it.

How does media play a role in drug use and addiction? Consider all types of media, including television and movies, social media, and advertisements
Media usually shows drug addiction a lot more than other things, for example, alcohol. For example you may see on the news of some people or celebrities using or making drugs which are in trouble with the police because of having use of illegal substances, but you mostly see it on television on soaps like Coronation street and Eastenders, they are usually class A drugs ie. cocaine. You also see use of drugs in films, usually people taking drugs or dealing drugs in either comedy or action films.
