/^t/What' s more, many young people who take drugs for fun claim that it is safe to take drugs. They say that drugs such as Ecstasy or Cannabis kill fewer people than "peanuts" and many teenagers take them without harm, they think. It is just another myth about drugs. Drugs are dangerous and can lead to serious health problems and finally death. Heroin which is a hard drug depresses the central nervous system and, while it brings on feelings of contentment, warmth and euphoria, heroin can all supress the appetite and induce nausea and constipation.

When you share needles it can pass on hepatitis, jaundice and HIV leading to death by AIDS.
