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.
