The problem with drugs is that they're everywhere.

Drugs are everywhere, and they’re getting more powerful and addictive every day. They’re in your high school, on your college campus, at the office, and in your family—maybe even within your own home. You can’t get away from them anymore, and that’s the problem with drugs. No matter how many laws you pass to stop it or punishments you enact against those who use them, drugs will still be there waiting for you when you turn around—or worse yet, when you don’t expect them at all.

They're easy to get

Drugs are easy to get because people will sell them to you on the street, or in a nightclub. They may even offer you some when you seem like you need it most, like after a breakup or during a rough patch at school. For this reason, it's important to be aware of the temptation, and the fact that your friends might be asking you for some more than usual now and then, just so they can get what they want too.

It's not just dealers who are responsible for making sure people have access to substances either--drugs are all around us at stores and parties and concerts, slipping into our lives without warning or asking permission first.

They're often cheaper than other things

Drugs are often cheaper than other things and this causes a lot of issues because people don't realize the consequences of their actions. Drug dealers won't tell you what's in them, how much to take, or how long it'll take for you to feel it, so there's no way to know what you're getting into before you actually do it. This can lead people to take more than what's recommended and end up overdosing or even dying from taking drugs. Some may think this doesn't happen because all of the dangers are explained on labels but a lot of times kids will just buy drugs without reading the label and don't know what they're doing anyway.

They're legal

Opium and morphine were used to treat pain for centuries, but their addictive qualities led doctors to stop prescribing them by the late 19th century. Heroin was invented in 1898 as a less addictive alternative, but it proved just as addictive, and addiction rates skyrocketed. Cocaine was originally used as a topical anesthetic in the 1890s but eventually became popular recreationally because it numbs the body's perception of pain.

Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 for use as a nasal decongestant, but its effects on mood and energy led people to use it recreationally from 1919 onwards.

They're advertised

Drugs are advertised in the media, on TV, and in magazines. As someone who has struggled with addiction, I know how hard it can be to resist these advertisements when you're in the depths of addiction because you feel like you need it more than anything else at the time. But as soon as I was out of addiction, I never wanted to go back and start using again just because some fancy ad made me crave it for a few minutes. If we keep advertising drugs like this, then there will always be a demand for them which means there will always be dealers and people ready to supply them so long as there's enough money involved on their end too.
