Drugs


Cannabis is a very common drug. I know a lot of people who smoke it, they onbiously don't realsie the risks:

Affects short-term memory and ability to concentrate well;
Getting 'stoned' affects co-ordination, increasing the risk of accidents;
Impairs driving skills, so never get in a car with someone who is stoned;
It can make users paranoid and anxious, depending on their mood and situation;
Smoking cannabis over a long period of time may increase the risk of respiratory disorders, including lung cancer;
Many regular users find cannabis hard to quit;
There is some evidence to suggest a link between cannabis and psychotic illness.



Many people fall into the trap of drug use through school, and many people are peer pressured into it. In some cases, people easily grow out of smoking cannabis, however in other cases, the class C drug can eventually turn into the use of much stronger drugs.
