Drugs affect individuals in various ways including health problems. They are far-reaching to every organ in the human body thus weakening an individual’s immune system making them susceptible to infections. They can also cause various cardiovascular conditions including the fatal heart attack. Drugs can also overload the liver causing it to have significant damages that may be fatal. Drugs can also cause seizures, strokes and a wide variety of brain damage thus causing an impact on all aspects of an individual’s daily life. Moreover, abuse on drugs can alter an individual’s brain chemistry resulting into an increase dependency on drugs for everyday survival of the individual drug user.
Drugs can also result into various behavioral problems to an individual including hallucinations, impaired judgment, and loss of an individual’s self-control. The individual might also become highly aggressive towards those people near them with paranoia thoughts of thinking ill about every situation. Moreover, drugs may result into an individual becoming untidy due to refusal to take a bath. Most drug users spend many days without even thinking of taking a bath thus resulting into highest levels of un-comfort to those people around the victim. Other drugs users may suffer from mental illnesses including schizophrenia and they may start roaming the streets with the highest levels of insanity (Edelfield and Moosa 199). In addition, drugs use may result into individuals losing their jobs, and engaging in crime to sustain their daily drug use. They may engage in violence including domestic violence resulting breakage of families. Such drug use may also lower the productivity of individuals with some of them becoming impotent with an inability to reproduce.
