The Drug Issue

Nowadays it's pretty hard to find a teenager who has never tried any kind of drugs [we usually just say "any drugs"]. Influenced for many different reasons people start to use those chemical substances, illicit or licit, since they are young and it becomes pretty hard to stop later. Many specialists consider drugs a dangerous social problem, but why? Maybe because of the collateral effects that the use of drugs can cause. Therefore, what are the most terrible effects that young drug users suffer?
Drugs can become an incurable addiction. It starts to be an essential part of young person's life, and there comes a time that is quite impossible to stop using it. Moments of happiness and excitement are motive to use drugs. Moments of sadness and loneliness are good occasions to use it ["are conducive to drug use"] as well. And when there is nothing to do, such as when bored or idle, a person is likely to "drug up". Therefore, every moment in life can be conducive to drug use. Maybe this is more than addiction. This is a real slavery.
One thing that is unfortunate and is happening nowadays, is the increasing numbers of deaths related with drug use [or "abuse"]. For sure overdose is the main cause. The drug overdose is basically when someone ingests great amounts of a certain drug that the body is not used to, or cannot support, thus leading to death. Use of drugs can also lead to suicide, assassination, and depression.
The other effect of using narcotics is that young people lose the pleasure of living life. If one activity is realized without drugs involved, it is not worth it for them anymore. Simple moments with family and friends become boring. Drugs users think that they are enjoying life. However, they are actually not enjoying.
Drugs becoming an incurable addiction, the increasing numbers of deaths related with drugs, and losing the pleasure of living life are all terrible effects of using drugs. This is very sad. A lot of young people full of energy, enthusiasm, and happiness give up the opportunity to be great men and women, only to have the fake pleasure of using drugs. This is a real social problem.
