The possibility that you may come into contact
with drugs is ever increasing. You may have heard about drugs from
your friends, brothers or sisters, TV, magazines, pop stars, or you may even
have tried some already.
Drugs can be used in ways that do
not lead to problems with your health straight away or the habit may
not seem addictive but the only 100% safe use of drugs is not to use
them at all.
A decision to take a drug is like
any other decision in your life - yours. Don't be
afraid to say No! Make your own decision!
The most common drugs available and
being used locally within Northern Ireland are - Cannabis, Ecstasy, Speed, LSD, Magic Mushrooms,
Solvents and Poppers. It is important to realize that Alcohol and Tobacco are also drugs that
must be regarded as dangerous and should be avoided.
You may be told by friends that
drugs are exciting and that they make you feel really good. However,
it's best to know all the facts before you try some or decide if you
should stop.
No matter what any of your friends
tell you, nobody can really know how any drug will affect you!
It all depends on;
- your height and weight
- what drug you are taking
- how much you take
- how you feel at the time
- where you are
- what you expect to happen
- your own body's physical
reaction
- what other drugs you have been
taking
- how often you take drugs
- how long you have been taking
drugs
- how you take the drugs
