Why are drugs bad for your body?

Answer 1

Technicaly everything and anything is bad for you drugs, food, ect. Just depends on the situation how things are made, used, grown, ect. Think about it look at the world around you

Answer 2

Not all drugs are bad for you. Most OTC drugs are relatively safe; ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc; all do pretty good stuff.

marijuana- stimulates appetite

alcohol - can lead to violent bar fights (pot smokers are too laid back to brawl)

LSD - you trip your brains out. the end. no evidence of long term physical harm, and no cases of the drug itself being a direct cause of a fatality (jumping out a window tripping your brains out possibly, but plenty of drunks have done the exact same thing).

Ok kid heres the facts:

OTC drugs= healthy if used correctly

Others= Herion, Marijuana, Pot, and others become addictive. These begin to slowly kill you if you don't take them. They empty your pockets and kill brain cells. They all tend to make you agressive, clostrophic, and tense. They kill, you make you sick, and make your family depressed. That's why it's bad for you.

DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOU!!! Don't make this kid think they're not. They kill you!!! Want to have to look your mom in her face, and say Mom I'm gonna die when I grow up while you can't even think straight cuz ur so high!! They're bad!!!

Answer 3

they slow down your brain functions and your awareness of things, and after one dose your body wants more and you may become addicted and it hurts your body over and over until you lose control of your body

Answer 4

"Drugs" is too broad a category for this question to have a straight, all-encompassing answer. The category involves everything from Tylenol to Dilaudid on the legal end, and marijuana to heroin on the illegal side, and even within these there is enormous variance based on the personality of the user. Some will experiment and never become addicted, some will never experiment, and some will rob your wallet to pay for their last fix of the night so they can sleep.

The purpose of the original federal drug law (the Harrison Tax Stamp Act of 1914) was to criminalize the drugs which were found to be dangerous and/or addictive (for example, from 1898 to 1914, you could buy heroin in small glass bottles over the counter at any drug store, and it was considered a miracle drug: relieved pain, and relieved the need for morphine-addicted people to keep taking morphine, before they realized that they'd just become addicted to a replacement) from the ones that posed no health risk to the public. Unfortunately, the proceedings took into account things that the law should rightly ignore, like the Demographics of the 'average' user (for example, marijuana was seen as a drug that Mexican immigrants brought with them, and demonizing the drug went hand in hand with the average white American's unease with the perceived user).

I won't attempt to trace the entire history of the drug war in this answer, but suffice to say: No. Not all drugs are objectively bad. Some people are less responsible with them, and some people can regulate their intake and remain illicit drug users for decades undetected. The person, not the drug, determines the benefit (or lack thereof) in ingesting any substance.

Answer 5

No, not all drugs are bad for your body. All drugs can be bad for you if taken in too large quantity, especially alcohol or most substances in cigarettes. If drugs are taken in moderate quantities, they don't necessarily need to be bad for you. Some drugs can even be liberating and all social constraints that exist in this world. Besides, the term 'bad' or 'good' for your body is very hard to quantify.

Answer 6

Drug abuse will affect people's physical and mental health. According to TeensHealth.org, drug abuse causes changes to the body and brain that are harmful. The health problems that result from drug abuse will depend on the specific drug being abused. General health effects of drug abuse include respiratory problems, heart problems, loss of memory, neurological damage, mental health disorders such as mood disorders, overdose and death.
