The drugs listed above, in addition to many others, have proven to be a menace to society, owing to the extent that they reduce the productivity of the users, the high cost of treating the addictions that result from continued use, and the loss of lives that these and many other drugs are directly responsible for.
Most drugs have the ability to make the users feel good and help them forget about their troubles, but just for a short while. When the drug wears off, it leaves the user feeling even worse than before, and all of his or her problems come rushing back. This sudden ‘low’ is what drives the users to go looking for more drugs, regardless of what price the users will have to pay.
Society’s youth is the group that is most affected when it comes to drug abuse, and yet it is also society’s hope for a brighter tomorrow. The need for immediate gratification and disregarding the consequences of their actions is what is destroying drug users all over the world, because almost 100% of all drug users know that with every sniff, injection, ingestion, puff, or sip of their favourite drug, they come one step closer to addiction and eventually a likely ugly death.
The worst part of the story is that the type of drugs you know about are not the only ones on the market killing people or stealing people’s dreams. New drugs have come up and they have devastating consequences on the users, but you hardly ever hear people talking about them in drug abuse forums. Here are some drugs that you might know very little about:
10. Human Growth Hormone
The Human Growth Hormone is a drug that was developed to help children with stunted growth, due to underlying medical reasons. However, since rumours surrounding this drug have surfaced that it can keep an individual feeling and looking young even in old age, people started to abuse it. Furthermore, athletes began to abuse the drug in order to enhance their physical strength and athleticism, a situation that quickly turns ugly. Continued use of the drug can have negative side effects such as morning aches, hypoglycaemia, worsening of cancer, dangerous water retention levels in the body, and Acromegaly, a condition where an individual’s feet and hands swell, they develop a more pronounced jawline, and the skin gets thicker.
