Drug abuse or misuse is the use of harmful or illegal substances in a way that can damage one's physical and mental health.
This can include taking prescription drugs in a manner not prescribed, using illegal drugs such as Cocaine and misusing over-the-counter medications. Drug abuse can lead to addiction, overdose. Drug misuse can also cause weakened immune system, liver and kidney damage which can lead to death.
It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with drug abuse or misuse.
Please be safe out there.
Drugs on their own have adverse effects, even the ones prescribed by medical professionals. I think the rate at which we take drugs should reduce. Some people are very quick to take drugs for any little health issues such as headache, body pain and some minor issues. The worst being self medication when you don't have any for of medical knowledge.
Other form of drug abuse is the use of hard drugs which also have their own adverse effects. Some people resort to hard drugs intake as a result of depression, peer pressure and some other reasons.
But the truth remains that drug abuse is bad and should be avoided.
