Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken
determines the effect.
 Drugs can affect the mind. They can distort the
user’s perception of what is happening around
them. The person’s actions may be odd,
irrational, inappropriate, and even destructive.
 Medicines are drugs that are intended to speed
up or slow down or change something about the
way your body is working, to try and make it
work better.

How Do Drugs Work?
Someone who is sad might use drugs to
get a feeling of happiness, but it does not
work.
 Drugs can lift a person into a fake kind of
cheerfulness, but when the drug wears off,
he or she crashes even lower than before.
And each time, the emotional plunge is
lower and lower.

called opioids, opium-like compounds that
react on the nervous system in the same way as
drugs derived from the opium poppy.

physical dependence. The body adapts to the
drug and if one stops taking it abruptly,
withdrawal symptoms can occur. Or the body
builds up a tolerance which means they need
higher doses

Painkillers
Withdrawal symptoms include: restlessness,
muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea,
vomiting, cold flashes, involuntary leg
movements
