| Sometime
someone will offer you a
joint or drugs at a
party. Your mum, dad or
teacher may have warned
you about drugs. However
in the end they won't be
at the party and it will
come down to your
choice.

However
much you love your
friends, what you
choose to do is up to
you.
You
might decide to take
drugs because a friend
is and you don't want to
be left out or miss out
on something that seems
exciting. Then you might
keep taking them because
you like to 'get stoned'
and you don't think that
it causes you much harm.
You might find that
taking drugs helps relax
you but that's what
happens when you develop
tolerance to a drug. You
need the drug to feel
relaxed to feel
'normal'. What started
out as exciting can turn
into something quite
harmful. Experimentation
with drugs can result in
you becoming drug
dependent. Other harms
could include ill health
and violence.
However
much you love your
friends, what you choose
to do is up to you. You
may have seen friends or
acquaintances use drugs
to party harder or to be
more social or to enjoy
themselves.
One
of the problems with
taking drugs is that
you don't know how
they were made or what
is in them.
That's
their choice. What this
often means is that a
good time can only be
had when affected by
drugs.
One of the problems with
taking drugs is that you
don't know how they were
made or what is in them.
Most street drugs are
made in backyard
laboratories, so you
never know quite what
you're taking or how
harmful it could be.
