/^t/Drugs are generally known to be dangerous and harmful for one's health. Using drugs causes a number of serious diseases and can be fatal. Drugs are often the cause of one's death. Nevertheless, people decide on taking them and there are many different reasons for such behaviour. First of all, people take drugs for pleasure. They make them feel happy and relaxed. Apart from that, people take drugs to escape the reality and forget about their problems and worries. Finally, they use drugs because they became addicted and cannot stop using them. Drugs started to be their way of living and there is no way out. Although the results are always the sam: the feeling of failure, disappointment and, eventually, addiction, people keep using drugs and refuse to stop.
