Drugs?
True or false...
"Drinking alcohol only on the weekends won`t harm your body"
True, me and my friends go drinking every weekend and we`re perfectly fine.
WRONG: It's false:
(oooooohhh)
It`s false: The damage that alcohol causes depends on the so-called "pattern of consumption," meaning the quantity (more quantity, more damage) and intensity (more quantity in less time is more harmful).
Hey! The information says that the younger you are, the more harmful are the effects of alcohol in your body.
Then, if I drink just a little every time I meet with my friends, nothing will happen
That`s not true! You run the risk of turning into a habit, to the point that you wouldn't be able to have fun without drinking.
But if I don`t drink alcohol, I won't hold on the whole night out...it cheers me up and keeps me awake.
No! Alcohol keeps you awake when you mix it with carbonated and caffeinated drinks. Alcohol actually produces deeper physical fatigue and more tiredness, moreover a loss of strength and coordination.
I don`t care about drinking. I prefer to smoke joints. It's healthier because they're a natural product.
You haven`t got a clue!... Just because it`s natural doesn`t mean isn`t harmful.
"In fact, the consumption of cannabis causes alterations in normal brain function. Also, continued consumption can cause addiction." Or do you think that you can give up smoking cannabis or tobacco when you want?
Are you sure?!
I`m going to show you that I can give it up when I want; I quit smoking from today onwards.
Let`s see if you can! Lately, you haven't been able to walk more than a half an hour because you get tired!
It`s difficult to put on end to tobacco dependence. In order to give up smoking you have to take it seriously.
Well! I`ll just prepare my own hash cookies, that way I won`t smoke and I`ll be able to breathe better...
You`re so annoying! When you do that, you forget everyone else.
You should know that the effects of ingested hash are much more difficult to control... it`s like if you start to twist over yourself for a long time and after you can't stop to feel dizzy.
Imagine feeling like that for hours...
You don`t seen to be very well informed... I suggest you that before trying anything you get inform and that way you can decide with all of the information...and think about how much you spend every week on alcohol and tobacco.
Multiply that by 52 weeks a year and now think what could you do with that money
