  2. "Yaabaa" or amphetamine is a common used throughout my country, Thailand. This fact can be easily proven by news and also my old neighborhood who was arrested because of using and selling this drug.

  3. The substance that is most abused in my country is easily alcohol. This drug has had a very long history in Australian culture. In the early days of the British colony of Sydney, the governor often paid people in rum, and there were rum riots when the citizens did not get enough.

    Today, alcohol remains an integral part of Australian culture - at sports events, people drink: beer at football games, champagne at horse racing events, and everything in between.

    There are some obvious bad results of this, especially violence and violent crime, including domestic abuse of wives and children by drunk men, but also by drunk women. However, I think that this drug, like most, also serves useful social functions in the culture - people do relax and have a good time over a meal or party where alcohol, often along with other drugs, contributes to the mood and enjoyment. So, it would be a mistake to think that drug use, even alcohol, is all bad. And it has given us some great stories to tell: how many nations have rum rebellions as part of their founding history?

  6. I think Yaa Baa or methamphetamine is a kind of illegal drugs that influences takers become out of control their mind as similar as a crazy person. We can see a lot of slum may deal with these illegal drugs to spread their areas.
