Drugs that can affect or help our lives

A drug is a chemical substance that affects the central nervous system. Drug abuse is the act of constantly taking addictive or illegal drugs. Some drugs cause effect on the mind and your actions like marijuana. While others do not affect your mind but it can cause serious health problems like tobacco. Both of these drugs you shouldn’t use, but the difference between these two drugs is that one can actually be a good use for the body if necessary (which is medical marijuana) while the other does not have any good use (which is tobacco).

I have never had a personal experience that influenced me to explore this cultural problem, but I have heard from a family member that grew up surrounded by this problem and how much it affected his family and the people around him and also the culture. But on the other hand, drugs can also be useful if taken for the right reason. When my grandfather was dying he was experiencing a lot of pain, so my family decided to put him on medical marijuana to help calm the pain and it was very helpful to him. Drugs can either be a good use to the culture or a problem if the culture abuses it. This is what influenced me to explore this problem.

Some people think drugs are not good to use because most of today’s culture abuses even over the counter drugs that are used to help people. But the reason we have and create most drugs is to help people recover or ease the pain when we feel ill, just because a good amount of people abuse the drugs we are able to use doesn’t mean everyone will.
