Addiction: From Tea and Coffee to Drugs of Abuse

Drugs are something very powerful, and if we aren't careful with these, they could become a problem more than a solution, i mean, medication drugs, drugs of abuse,etc.

I'm not very attached with these last kind of drugs, but a few years ago i decided to try one of them, just because i wanted to have my own experience with it, and by consequence, have my own opinion about it.

I tried Marijuana, i remember that i was scared the first time, because you know, i just heard about it, but that was going to be my first time, i thought, but i was psicologically prepared in that moment, I felt mature, so i moved on and tried it (I have to say that i was avoiding to think about what I was doing, i just wanted to know how it was going to feel and nothing more).

I started to smoke, but i felt nothing, it was like smoking a normal cigarette with a strange flavor, but nothing special. After 20 minutes app.  i started to feel lazy, with a very relaxing sensation on my body. My eyes started to feel tired, like if they don't wanna watch anymore. It was a great sensation, so i don't remember any bad experience of that moment.

Honestly I don't know much about their benefits, but i kow that marijuana it's used in medicine, because it's a great analgesic, it's used to treat glaucoma, and also helps to decrease anxiety.

Drug addiction it's a very serious problem, the people with this condition are very hard to treat. In my opinion, one of the most relevant consequences of this is the damage to the family of the affected, because i think it should be hard to see how someone of you family is dying slowly, and they can't do anything to help, because they don't have money to pay the treatment, etc...

After a long term consumption of drugs, some consequences to the affected are appearing, like depression, changes in attitude/personality, brain degeneration, etc.

I fortunately don't know anyone addicted to drugs of abuse, but if i knew someone, i would try to help him/her.

I think the abuse of drugs is something that has no end, we try to fight everyday against it, but everyday becomes harder to erradicate. Everyday new scientist are creating new substances, and i don't know how, but they end in the wrong hands, i mean, the world of these kind of drugs is always moving on with a new kind of drug, an endless cycle.
