Should we persevere?

Have you worried about drug abuse? Are you a drug addict ?Many people do not understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. Even though I am not a drug addict, When I saw The New York Times , a headline named “Drug Is Harder to Abuse, but Users Persevere” catch my interested. Nowadays, drug abuse is a serious public health problem that affects almost every community and family. Abused drugs include Amphetamines, Anabolic steroids, Club drugs, Cocaine, Heroin, Inhalants, Marijuana and Prescription drugs.

 

The article of Drug Is Harder to Abuse, but Users Persevere on The New York Times said that people had been snorting OxyContin for many years. At that time, a new version of the drug intended to avoid such abuse, hit the market. The reformulated pills are harder to suppress, so people use gummy substance to instead of it which cannot be easily snorted, injected or chewed. 

 

In my opinion, drug abuse can lead to various kinds of side effects and disadvantages. Even if drug can reduce the pain of cancer patients, the cancer patients will so addict to drug that cannot give it up. From many related reports we can know that these forms of drug abuses can have an unfavorable effect on the health and desire of the person and in excessive cases it can also lead to death. Also, if take these drugs, during pregnancy, it can cause birth foible such as physical, mental, social and behavioral problems in future. Drug abuse also plays a role in many major social problems, such as drugged driving, violence, stress, emotional problems and destroying many families. Above of all, people should prevent drug abuse.
