WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF THESE DRUGS?

Most hard drugs are addictive. When a person is addicted to something, she cannot control how often she uses it. She depends on it to help her cope with daily life. Her body needs it in order to func- tion. If she tries to quit using it, she goes through withdrawal. This means her body now needs the chemical in order to function, and without it, she feels sick. She is chained to the drug.
