Drugs
Every human society uses some drugs to change people’s state of awareness1. Drugs can mean everything from cigarettes and alcohol to heroin, opium, amphetamines, LSD and cocaine. In our society the main drugs are alcohol, nicotine and caffeine, while in Peru chewing cola leaves (which are used to produce cocaine) is an everyday activity, and in some Middle Eastern countries smoking hashish (marijuana) or opium is legal2 while alcohol is banned3. Drugs which can influence4 our state of consciousness5 are known as psychoactive drugs.
All psychoactive drugs affect6 the nervous system in some way, but they have different effects by influencing different parts of it. For example, caffeine, which we take in coffee or cola drinks, acts on the autonomic nervous system to produce a state of arousal7 in the body. So it is not surprising that it helps people to wake up in the morning, but in large quantities it can make one irritable8 and edgy9.
Morphine and heroine are sometimes used medically, because they are powerful painkillers10. People who take the drugs report that they make them feel euphoric, as though they are not quite in touch with11 that reality, and good because there is no physical discomfort or fatigue12 at all. But the problem is that when it wears off13, people feel very unpleasant, so it is extremely easy to become both physically and mentally addicted14 to these drugs.
Marijuana was widely used as a tranquillizer15 in the nineteenth century, and for over two thousand years in the Far East. We know that it acts as a mild depressant, damping down16 the actions of the autonomic nervous system and producing muscular relaxation. Because of this some users report17 a sense of time passing very slowly, and an increased sensitivity18 to sensory19 stimulation such as music or art.
Ecstasy, or MDMA, is a highly prosaically drug. In other words, it makes people feel social20 and pleasant towards one another. It also enhances awareness of music and color. Ecstasy is often associated with rave music and huge discos, especially in Western Countries. It is interesting that MDMA was discovered in 1914 and was used in marriage guidance counselling21, to ease the tension between people so that they could talk over their problems more effectively. In 1970s, however, it became popular as a recreational22 drug, and has now been made illegal. The stimulant drugs known as amphetamines, or “speed”, also sometimes seem to have a prosaically effect, at least in small doses. But in large doses, amphetamines can lead to severe23 mental illness, known as amphetamine psychosis. This involves a distortion24 of reality, the person often becomes extremely paranoid and disturbed25. Amphetamines are also highly addictive drugs.
Another well-known psychoactive drug is known as LSD, or sometimes as “acid”26. It is a hallucinogen27, which means that people who take it can also experience hallucinations seeing things, which are not actually present.
Both natural and synthetic drugs can change our moods, our state of awareness and our perception28 of reality. They can infect the system leading to sores29, jaundice30, blood poisoning31 and AIDS disease. Many signs indicate32 that a person is taking drugs, for example, sudden changes of mood, irritability33, aggression, loss34 of appetite, loss of interest in hobbies or friends, insomnia35, furtive behavior36, unusual smells37, stains38 on the body.
What pushes people to take drugs? There are many reasons. Some people turn to drugs to help relax and cope with the stress and problems of their lives. Some experience39 many pressures at school, work, from parents, friends, they are not loved, frightened or frustrated40. Still others take drugs simply out of curiosity41 but often become addicted. Some people want to make their experiences. Many people think that drugs are the best way out42. However they do not realize how devastating43 and dangerous they are.
