Soar Essay



Drugs they are used every day. Sometimes they have good uses, but there

are bad uses. For example one day your head hurts you will probably tell

your mom your head hurts, she will probably give you some Advil to take

so in a while your head stops hurting, did you know the Advil you just ate

is considered a drug? Well that kind of drug is considered a good drug

well in the way you used it, some people can turn that good drug into a bad

drug, people sometimes take too much of it so in that case it is a bad drug.

This is why there are restrictions about what medicines you can buy.



These kinds of medicines are called over the counter medicine, this means

that you can buy it any time. For example when you go to CVS to buy some

medicine there would be lots of medicines you can buy without a doctor

prescription so they will be a lot of medicines but then you might see a desk

that is where you can buy something called prescription medicine this means

you can only buy this kind of medicine if you have a doctors prescription and

that word is just fancy for a doctor note, so if you go to CVS and you go to

the desk and they say you need a prescription to buy the medicine and you

Say ."I know but I need it". They will just say ok just wait one sec and

that means they are going to call the police because there basically going to

think you are going to use it for a drug .So those are the different kinds of

good drugs.



Now lets talk about the bad drugs .One of them is called marijuana.

Marijuana is a green, brown, or dried mixture of dried, shredded leaves,

stems, seeds ,and flowers of the hemp plant and another name for this drug

is cannabis .Cannabis is a term that refers to marijuana and other drugs made

from the same plant. Short term effects of marijuana include problems with

memory and learning, and difficulty in thinking and problem solving, loss

of coordination, and increased heart rate. marijuana is usually smoked as

a cigarette or in a pipe. marijuana has also appeared in blunts, which

are cigars that have been emptied or tobacco and refilled with marijuana,

sometimes in combination with another drug, such as cocaine. It can also

be mixed into foods or used to make a tea .so that is all about marijuana.



Another illegal drug is cocaine. Pure cocaine was first used in the 1880s

in different kinds of surgeries as an anesthetic and for its ability to

constrict blood vessels and limit bleeding. However, many of its

therapeutic applications are now not used because of the

development of safer drugs. Cocaine is the most potent stimulant

of natural origin. This substance can be snorted, smoked, or injected.

When snorted cocaine powder is inhaled through the nose where it

is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. When

injected, the drug addict uses a needle to inject the drug directly into

his veins. smoking involves inhaling cocaine smoke or

smoke into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream

is as fast as by injection



Another high dependency drug is steroids. steroids where first developed

in the late 1930's it was used to treat

hypogonadism but the primary

use of it was to treat delayed puberty but at that same time scientist

tested this substance on laboratory animals and they came with the conclusion

that this drug can help you grow your skeletal muscle of course this led to the

abuse of bodybuilders, weightlifters ,and then by athletes in other sports.

Also 2.2% of 12th graders have taken steroids .There are also street terms

of steroids including gym candy, juice, pampers , and stackers .Did you

know one of the side effects of steroids is breast development for men

and even if the this person stops taking steroids some side effects can

be permanent other health consequences that can occur in both male

and female bodies is that you can get liver cancer, heart attacks, and

raised cholesterol levels.



In this essay you have just read about all kinds of drugs including

medicine, cocaine, marijuana, and steroids. Of course there are

a lot more drugs then I just stated and more yet to discover but

these are the most common ones a person is going to ask you to

take in middle school and high school so i thought i should of stated

these drugs. This essay was specially made for kids in elementary

school going to middle school. This is why I thought that a little

information on these drugs would be great. Thanks for reading

this essay on drugs, I hoped you liked it.
