When a person takes drugs or alcohol it will burn up vitamins in the body, particularly B complex vitamins, which are essential to the central nervous system as well as many other parts of the body.
Alcohol is definitely a drug. Like any other drug if you take it in too large of volume it is poisonous and can kill you. Short of that, there will be lesser degrees of reaction to the poison. Like other drugs, alcohol uses up vitamins in your body and as a result you can feel tired or sick after drinking more than you should. That is what is called a hangover. If you burn up too many vitamins your body will start to shake and you’ll get sweats. You can start to worry and begin to see things that are not there, this is called DTs, or delirium tremens.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The body needs vitamins to stay alive. If you don’t eat a healthy diet you are probably not getting the vitamins you need. Most people who are taking drugs or alcohol to excess usually are not careful to eat properly. This weakens your immune system. Not having proper nutrition will make you feel tired and you are likely to get sick much easier. Then when you do get sick it also takes that much longer to get well.
With just small routine amounts of toxins that a person runs into in everyday life the liver will help filter them out of the body. But, when the body is inundated with drugs, including alcohol, the liver goes into overload and it can’t process them out and it weaken the body overall. In general, not a pretty picture.
So, if a person is taking drugs, legal or illegal, to make himself feel better it’s not going to work. Each time the body burns up more vitamins and the situation escalates. Not only is it not making you feel better it is making you feel worse as soon as the drug wears off and it becomes a rapidly dwindling spiral. Watch the water speed up when you flush the toilet. It’s the perfect analogy.
Make no mistake, the body does not differentiate whether the drugs are illehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifgal or legal. The reaction is the same. It burns up vitamins and weakens it in many ways, thereby making it susceptible to disease and any illness you want to name. That’s what occurs to the body, you can refer to many of my previous articles (and many future ones) on the blog to get information about what it does to the mind.

Drugs are Absolutely Habit Forming
I’ve been writing about incorrect, untrue and distorted data that people have about drugs. The one I’m going to talk about today is the mistaken idea that some people operate off of “that most drugs are not habit forming.”
It would be far more correct to say that all drugs are habit forming. I don’t know if that is true but if it’s not it is not that far from the mark. Even one of the more somewhat harmless drugs like caffeine is still very habit forming. I’ve known of many individuals who have attempted to quit coffee and they get withdrawal headaches to name one of the more common http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsymptoms. Or how about the coffee drinkers who can’t get started in the morning until they have had their first cup.
But I am not here to talk about the dangers of caffeine. Here is the way it is. When a person takes a drug and then it starts to wear off that person will want more of that drug, more precisely his body will crave it.
When that occurs, say the person took a pain pill to numb a pain, then when the drug wears off, the pain not only comes back but way stronger than before.
If someone had a situation that made him want to take drugs like feeling anxious around people he may take the drug to loosen up. When the drug wears off the feeling of nervousness comes back even worse than before and he wants MORE of the drug to calm himself.
Here is another very real thing that can happen to a person even if they have quit drugs years before. Let’s say, as an example, that a guy used to be a fairly frequent user of cocaine. He has somehow kicked the habit on his own out of sheer will power. Then one day he sees some of his friends playing a game of basketball and he joins in. He works up a great perspiration and feels great. But, however, drugs that the body was not able to metabolize when they were taken (because they were extreme, for example) get stored in the cells. Sweating helps to release them from the cells and they move back into the blood stream. Suddenly the guy starts to feel a little bit high and as it is wearing off he begins to crave the drug again and before you know it he is back taking cocaine on a regular basis again.
It is an all too real example of why people frequently go back to drugs http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifevehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifn after seeming to have kicked the habit. It also is very strong proof that drugs are definitely habit forming.

Life Problems are Not Handled by Drugs
In the last couple of articles we’ve gone over lies and general propaganda people have gotten about drugs. The next one we’ll go over here is that “No one really knows what causes people to take drugs.”
There are an infinity of reasons why people take drugs and they are as individual as people’s fingerprints but they all boil down to a basic cause. That is that people use drugs to get rid of unwanted sensations and feelings.
I’ll get into some good examples of that in a minute but before that let me say that if you’ve ever heard that you or any person are genetically predisposed to taking drugs or alcohol, do not, for even a second, fall for that line. That is a fraud perpetuated by drug companies and psychiatrists who want people to be taken in by the trap that nothing can be done about their situation so they might as well just surrender and take our drugs.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
(Something can most certainly be done about drug and alcohol abuse and to find out what you can click here.)
Now I’ll cover some of the basic reasons people fall into the lure of drugs. A person might have a body problem that they feel they need pain pills to cope with it effectively. Back pain is a common one or maybe the pain caused by an accident. That is not an illogical response to pain. But it will become a problem when the person becomes dependent upon the drug both physically and emotionally. Typically this happens when the individual doesn’t follow the prescription recommendations and takes more than they should. Doctors are sometimes to blame as well because they will over-prescribe the pain pills.
A person may take a sedative or smoke pot or take any number of different drugs because they are having to deal with more stress than they feel they can handle. Once again it is the abuse of this that will cause a problem.
Some other examples are being unable to sleep or feeling depressed) or just feeling bored.
There are a variety of reasons but some of the above mentioned can be dealt with through proper nutrition and or exercise rather than resorting to drugs.
The most important thing to remember is that drugs are only a temporary solution to unwanted feelings. To get a real solution, the person needs to fix http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwhathttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif was causing the problem in the first place. Only in this way can one get back to a state of normalcy and drugs are never the solution.

Drugs Absolutely Do Affect the Mind
Here is the 2nd in a series of articles that dispels some of the lies that are widespread about drug use. The reality is that most of the info people get about drugs is not accurate. It comes from those who sell drugs, or people who take drugs themselves. Companies that manufacture and make money from the sale of drugs and advertise them on TV are a completely unreliable source of the facts about drugs. There have been multitudes of examples of drug companies falsifying tests to get drugs approved by the FDA. So they are not at all a credible source of information, only misinformation.
One of the more common misconceptions that people have about drugs is that most drugs don’t hurt your mind. But the fact is drugs make one numb and shut off feelings. With pain relievers, for examplehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif, that is the whole purpose to stop the feeling, thereby, shutting down the pain. If you have a sore leg and you want to prevent the pain with a pain pill, unfortunately, you can’t make it work on just your leg. It will turn off the pain and feeling all over the body and your mind. It would be advantageous to be able to dull a particular area but if you take something into your body it works over the whole body.
The drugs shut down your mind as well. It prohibits you from remembering things. It scrambles memories too. When a person has taken many drugs over a long period of time one of the signs or symptoms everyone in that situation exhibits is feeling numb, including emotionally. Some people even say they’d rather feel pain than to feel nothing at all. In fact, I just recalled a song with those exact words.
But there are degrees of this as well. Just because a person only takes drugs once in a while doesn’t imply they don’t have a negative effect. It is just a matter of degree.
Drugs make you forgetful, distorted, irresponsible, and in sort of a wooded state. People in that condition are not reliable and are not trustworthy. You probably wouldn’t want to associate with someone in that sort of condition so why should anyone want to do it to themselves.
This is also true of over the counter drugs like aspirin. They are pain http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifkillers and work with exactly the same principle of shutting the body down.
So if someone asks you if drugs affect the mind now you can give them an accurate answer.

Dispelling the Lies about Drugs
There's an abundance of misinformation about drugs that the general public continues to forward onto others. Over the next several days I’m going to write some essays that are intended to explode those untruths. When people think drugs are safe to take they will make it okay in their own mind to take them. What can happen and often has happened to some people is addiction. A dwindling spiral of drug taking takes place and then before the person is even aware of it he or she is addicted.
Now onto our myth busting, the first myth is that there are good drugs and bad drugs. All drugs are poisons. That is a usable definition of a drug. Agreed, there are times where it is wiser to have a drug than to not have it, for example, an anesthetic for an operation. Maybe a pain pill if the pain is more than one can bear. But make no mistake those drugs are still poisons and if a person thinks a drug is doing them good they are much more liable to take them when they aren’t necessary. And if they think some illegal drug is not going to damage them they will fall into the trap, as well.
If a drug is legal or illegal has no bearing on if it is good or bad. A good working stable idea would be that all drugs are bad, and if you know that all drugs are poisons, as we said, then I think you will agree with that. Occasionally a drug may be necessary, but that doesn’t make it a good drug as it is only temporarily needed where the alleviation of a pain overbalances the harmful effect that it creates.
Where drugs are concerned a small amount will act as a stimulant. A greater amount will act as a sedative and a very large enough amount of a drug consumed too fast will kill one. That, naturally includes alcohol, which is definitely a drug too.
An example of the previous paragraph would be someone using pot. After just a little amount of the drug he is more stimulated and may act “happy.” After even more of the drug he will be tired and lethargic and if a person just chained smoked pot endlessly, it would sooner or later kill them.
Even though pot is a relatively mild drug compared to many other legal and illegal drugs it is still detrimental over the long, or short haul and has collective effects as do all drugs.
In the next essay we’ll get into the effects drugs can have on the mind and other negative effects as well.
