 Amphetamines
 Marijuana
 Alcohol
 Inhalants
 Prescription Drugs

9. 1. Heroin
 As a destructive opioid, heroin can lead to seizures, psychosis, and hallucinations
when it is abused. Heroin injections can also spread diseases such as human
immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis. This drug is known to cause serious health
issues when it is abused because it interferes with the brain’s receptors. Users can
become physically dependent on it very quickly, requiring them to take more and
more to achieve the same high, but too much heroin can lead to a fatal overdose.
Individuals who take heroin always require professional rehabilitation because the
symptoms of withdrawal may be life-threatening.

10. 2. Cocaine
 Cocaine is a very dangerous stimulant even when taken in small amounts. It
induces euphoria, increases blood pressure, and accelerates the heart rate. The
drug may lead to fatal strokes or heart attacks for some users. The abuse of
cocaine is also known to cause financial, legal, and physical issues. Due to the
severe consequences of using cocaine, users require immediate professional
treatment.

11. 3. Crack
 A potent form of cocaine, crack is often smoked and suddenly creates an intense
euphoric sensation for a short while. Crack has turned into a problem because it is
cheap and easy to buy and use. Abusing the substance, however, can lead to
immediate addiction. Abusers are also at risk of suffering heart attacks and strokes
with every use. Long-term use can cause liver, kidney, and lung damage. Abusers
must seek help in rehabilitation facilities because the withdrawal symptoms are
dangerous.

12. 4. Hallucinogens
 PCP (phencyclidine) and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) are hallucinogens, which
means that they make users feel, see, and hear things that are not real. While they
experience hallucinations with these drugs, users lose touch with reality and enter
mental states of disconnection, as if their bodies and minds are not working
together or connected. Some users of PCP and LSD enter violent states of
psychosis. Serious injury could occur while hallucinating on these substances, which
have caused permanent neurological damage in cases of repeated abuse.
Withdrawing from hallucinogens is not easy, and abusers will need professional
treatment in a rehab facility.

13. 5. Amphetamines
 Accelerating the user’s bodily and mental functions, amphetamines can cause
manic periods of distress in abusers. These periods are usually accompanied by
extreme paranoia, inexplicable behavior, and delusions. Some amphetamine
abusers become very violent and attack loved ones unintentionally and could suffer
permanent physical changes in appearance, irreversible brain damage, and nerve
damage. Amphetamines are harsh, dangerous drugs, and users need medical
attention and safe rehabilitation in professional facilities.

14. 6. Marijuana
 Marijuana is the most common illegal drug that is abused, and many people begin
using it as a recreational drug in social situations. Continued abuse of marijuana
can lead to addiction, and the substance can affect the physical coordination,
memory, and mental functions of users over time. Some users have even lost
relationships, jobs, and homes because they abused the drug. While it is easy to
abuse marijuana, it is not easy to stop using it, so professional treatment is very
important to refrain from abuse.

15. 7. Alcohol
 Abusing alcohol can cause psychological, physical, and social problems, and it can
lead to the destruction of relationships, friendships, and marriages. A lot of alcohol
abusers drink so much that their bodies are unable to handle it. Sometimes this
requires that they are hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. Abusing alcohol over a
long period can result in irreparable heart and liver damage and may lead to the
drinkers being arrested for driving under the influence, public intoxication or other
law-related issues. Furthermore, alcohol abuse can lead to injury or death to the
people around them while they are under the influence. Alcohol withdrawal can be
fatal because of delirium tremens, which is a symptom with the potential to trigger
heart failure or stroke. Refraining from drinking also is not easy when it becomes a
habit because of mental and physical issues. Professional assistance is often
necessary for abusers of alcohol.

16. 8. Inhalants
 Inhalants are not technically in the category of narcotics, but people abuse them
and can become addicted to them over time. Some of the substances that are
considered inhalants include spray paint, butane, and nitrous oxide that they can
inhale to achieve a high. Inhalants cause euphoric and numb feelings for a brief
while, so repetitive use is common. It is very risky to abuse inhalants because they
could lead to permanent brain damage or sudden death. Users must stop inhaling
the substances before damage occurs.

17. 9. Prescription Drugs
 The second-most commonly abused drugs are prescriptions, including everything
from anti-anxiety medications to sedatives and ADHD pills to anti-seizure
medications. The abuse of prescription painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycodone
during recovery from injuries is also very common. Abuse of prescription
medications can be very dangerous if the abusers do not seek treatment.

18. The Anti Drug Law in the Philippines
 The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 or Republic Act No. 9165 is a consolidation of Senate Bill
No. 1858 and House Bill No. 4433. It was enacted and passed by the Senate of the Philippines and House of
Representatives of the Philippines on May 30, 2002 and May 29, 2002, respectively. It was signed into law by

use drugs.
