Marijuana and hashish
are those drugs produced from the plant Indian hemp and accordingly, visible
effects of the drugs including reddening of the eyes caused by distention of
blood vessels, and enlargement of the pupils. Effects on the mind vary and in
general visual awareness is increased and ideas flow more quickly. These drugs
are not addictive and there is no evidence that they harm the body. There is a
danger, however, that the drug taker's sense of judgment will be distorted so
that reckless or foolish behavior can result. Lysergic acid DI-ethyl amide
(LSD) is an example of a hallucinogenic drug, so called because it gives rise
to dramatic eccentricity. The effects of LSD trip are erratic and seem to
depend upon the mood of the user without more ado before taking the drug. It
could for instance intensify awareness and perception to the point at which the
user undergoes mystical experiences or it may intensify a depressed, fearful or
agitated mood with horrifying results. Another problem with LSD is that very
small quantities have powerful effects, and since illegally produced drugs vary
in quality drug takers can never be sure how much they are taking. An overdose
of LSD can result in insanity or death. Another problem with LSD is that very
small quantities have powerful effects, and since illegally produced drugs are
extracted from the seed capsules of the opium poppy. Opiates are medically
important as painkillers. But drug takers use them because they give rise to
feelings of well beings, contentment, and power. Unfortunately when the effects
wear off the taker becomes anxious and depressed and is tempered to take
another dose to restore a good mood, a course that can lead to addiction.
Morphine, heroine, and other drugs that are often injected involve the risk of
infection from dirt hypodermic needles. Besides this, Barbiturates and
amphetamines are used immediately to relieve anxiety and as sleeping pills. But
they are dangerous because the dosage must be continually increased to be
effective. Barbiturates are often used in combination with amphetamines and
other stimulants. These reduce the sleepiness induced by barbiturates with a
feeling of mental alertness. Amphetamines harm the health by reducing the appetite,
by causing sleeplessness, and by reducing the body's ability to fight
infection. Hence it is clear that the
drug as have been reflected so far is illegal unless they are used under
medical supervision. The illegal use or sale of these drugs can result in
colossal punishment under the enactment of the government as implied.
