Answer 1

drugs can hurt you

Answer 2

Drug users usually damage their relationships with their families and friends because, once hooked, the drug user will use any mean st to fuel their habit including lying, cheating and stealing. This usually starts by affecting their families and friends as they will be the first victims. Next it will be shops and stores from which they steal thus affecting them and their profits. Store prices are usually 2 to 3% higher that they need be due to 'shrinkage' (stealing). Most crime is drug related so it affects society as well when you consider the cost of jailing these reprobates and the effects on their families who may need to go on Welfare as a result. There is also the effect of loss of their income and taxes to the country's economy and the damage to society as a whole. In my opinion all drug dealers should be jailed for life with no remission. Anyone using illegal drugs is a loser as far as I am concerned and every penny spent on drugs (even a small spliff of marijuana) is lining the pockets of ruthless criminals.

Answer 3

Um...it really depends on how many people there are who love you.
I did a lot of pot my senior year. Now, pot isn't as bad as some of the other drugs out there. Mostly kids do pot because their bored. But I still did it, and the effects are still evident.
I snuck out a lot to hang out with my friends and smoke pot and drink, it worried my mother sick. She was really stressed during that period, and my dad was furious with me a lot. I got really irresponsible, and everything else suffered.
I got so high one time, I actually stole/borrowed w/o permission a car...twice, to go get more pot.
The because I was ****** up a lot, my judgement was completely thrown off. I bought MY LITTLE SISTER a bag of pot and she smoked it with her friends.
That worsened her delicate state and she wound up in a psychiatric facility. Wow. That sounded really "after-school special" but it's true. It was a medium-security place right behind the hospital. But she still got sent there.
I was always out of it, coming home late, ditching my other friends, forgetting homework and tests. All those cliche things...they actually happened.
I actually went into class high one time and took a test that way. Stupid me.
My friends stole money from their parents to buy it. I spent all my free cash on it.
I always skipped school to do it.
I lied. I snuck around. I decieved.
My mind is still ****** up from a bad trip I had the second time I tried it. I had a psychotic break. It's...frustrating.
And that's just POT!
Think about crack, or speed, or meth!
That stuff is expensive and can SERIOUSLY mess you up.
The people who love you worry about you and it hurts them to see you like that. Drug use can become an addiction which some people never break.
Your mind, and body, and everything gets messed up.
It's...a bad way to live.
I think when they say, "drugs dont only hurt you, they hurt everyone around you" they mean it in a general truth kind of way. It won't hurt EVERYONE, but just most people who know you will feel it's effects.
*shrugs*
Hope that helped.

Answer 4

People who are on drugs aren't just happy and relaxed. They are also unreliable, dishonest, and a danger to themselves and others due to ther impaired mental and physical state. This means that the people around the person using drugs have to put up with broken promises, stolen property (for money to buy more drugs with), they have to babysit the person to make sure they don't hurt themselves or someone else. They have to do everything that person was supposed to do, because they were too high to do it themselves. They have to replace money spent on drugs that was meant for other things, and replace items broken by accident, or sold.

Answer 5

I sincerely hope you never understand it.

The only way to ever really understand it is to love someone, a spouse, a child, a lifelong friend.... and to see their life change because of drug addiction. It's the epitome of the feeling of helplessness, because you love them too much to abandon them, but your love doesn't reach them anymore to get them to end the self-destructive behavior.

Imagine your lifelong pet getting a disease like Rabies or Distemper. Think of how it is going to impact you, the choices you're going to have to make, the pain it is going to cause you. Then realize that the dog had no choice in the matter.

Answer 6

Hey, I had a friend that taked drugs and at this time I was in love with him and it's very compicated. He just wanted know about the drugs, don't havin' respect with other people.
And he hurted me so much at this time cause I saw that he was hurt him with the drugs, but he didn't want leave this way..

Answer 7

Okay, say you're a teen hiding a drug habit. You OD and now your parents wonder what they did wrong and blame themselves. It is more of a mental torment when it comes to that.

If you are a parent and/or spouse then get popped on serious drug charges (ie, drugs in the house). The state could take your kids and you'd end up in jail.

Answer 8

My ex husband was a crack addict, but I didn't know that before I married him. He destroyed my life. He stole money from me, sold my belongings (one day I came home from work and he had sold every piece of furniture in my living room for drugs), he used to beat my kids, and he caused me to lose my house because he stole so much money from me. Drugs hurt everyone around the user.

Answer 9

uhm...whats so confusing about this?? Do you not get it? Uhm...well lets see....if someone is strung out on drugs...you know your hurting yourself right...cause drugs kill you...follow me so far?? So if you have family, and there not all drug attics to...dont you think it will "hurt" them to see you killing yourself? And it doesn't mean physically hurt...its an emotional pain....So, drugs dont only "hurt" you, (because drugs kill)...drugs will "hurt" those around you..(cause they have to watch you go through physical changes, emotional changes...and worry if your gonna live or die day to day.) Get it now?

Answer 10

I think that is true if you let drugs take control of your life. I believe that anything in moderation is not a bad thing. Marijuana specifically is not a bad drug. No one has ever died from an overdose to my knowledge.

Answer 11

They hurt the people around you also because they have to go through the emotional pain and stress of you doing them and the worry that you will OD or get arrested.
