Bitter Pill: Thrills That Kill

'I do drugs, do you?'
An invitation into the world of drugs and the beginning of a sordid saga of many young lives pulled into the vortex of drugs. Living up to peer expectations// that fuels a desire to be 'hip and happening' and be the life of every party, drives many to seek instant thrills. Before realization dawns, drugs begin to call the shots and many lives dissolve into oblivion. It is apt to recall a pithy quote from David Ryan that hits the nail on the head: “You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living, until the escape becomes the habit

Misplaced 'Ecstasy': Mood Enhancers That Spell Doom

Nearly one in five Americans reportedly use prescription painkillers to experience an instant high. A weepy mother overcome with sorrow at the loss of her son narrates the incident of a drug overdose that abruptly ended his life. Another prodigal had mixed a potentially lethal combination of a painkiller with beer that nipped his life in the bud. And God help those who underestimate the innocuous cough syrup which can turn wily, if you choose to drown yourself in it!

When does use (of drugs) end and abuse begin? WHO has an answer to this with a succinctly worded definition on Drug Abuse, 'The consumption of a drug apart from medical need or in unnecessary quantities.' leading to the drug abuser turning entirely dependent on the contents of the drug, bordering on psychic dependence or addiction.

Some of the most commonly abused drugs are alcohol, anabolic steroids, amphetamines, analgesics, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, caffeine, cannabis, cocaine, laxatives, methaqualone, opiates, and tobacco. Drug abuse could also lead to health problems, social problems, physical dependence, or psychological addiction with profound impact on the central nervous system, triggering fluctuations in mood, sensations and levels of awareness.
