Some want to relax, escape or relieve boredom.  There are even the curious or experimental group that just want to seem grown up.  Many believe that drugs are the solution,  eventually they are the problem.Drugs are poisons. How much one takes will alter the effect the drug has. A small amount acts a stimulant, a greater amount slows you down and an even larger amount can kill you. This information is true of any drug you put in your body. They directly affect the mind, distort the user’s perception and as a result may make the person irrational and even destructive.
