Drug Addiction/ Causes and dire consequences of Drug Addiction
Drug is usually used as medicine to cure diseases. But sometimes it is taken by some people for stimulating effect. This habit of taking harmful drugs is called drug addiction. Heroine, opium, morphin, cocaine, phensidyl, etc. are some of the drugs. The person who once starts taking drugs cannot stop taking it. There are some reasons behind people getting addicted to these harmful drugs. Some people take drugs to forget their painful past or memories. Some people take drugs in pursuit of pleasure. There are some people who at first take drugs as fun but it turns into an addiction later on. The aftermaths of drug addiction is very dire and despicable. The health of the addict starts deteriorating. The addicts lose their mental power and courage. They feel drowsy and lose appetite. They lose their social status and the love of their near and dear ones as well. Various kinds of diseases grasp them. They suffer from amnesia, insomnia, nausea, physical weakness, blood pressure and from many other lethal diseases. Their kidneys and livers also get damaged. Drug addiction is not only a national problem but also a global issue. So, it should be stopped by any means. We can save ourselves from it by self-consciousness, by keeping ourselves aloof from bad companies, and by being strict minded against it.
