The number one thing that people think they should do is stop straight away but if you do this you will suffer from withdrawal and might die. What you should do is go and see a therapist and slow down on the drug usage massively but not stop and get used to having less then eventually stop fully.
Overdosing otherwise known as and OD is something that happens if you have too much of a drug or a combination of drugs and/or alcohol.The result of and overdose can be vomiting, nausea and quite a lot of the time death.
91,799 people died of overdosing in 2020.
Peer pressure is when a group of friends pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do by saying stuff like “Don’t be a wuss” and “Be a man”. If this happens to you say no and if that doesn’t work there is more on the next slide on how to deal with it.
Parents would say to their child to just say no but this will never work 100% of the time. The first step is to just say no, but if they pressurer insists try to change to topic of conversation, and if they still persist walk away from them. Make sure you don’t get pressured into doing some illegal or detrimental to your health.
Withdrawal said earlier has many unwanted side effects, but you must push through these effects. Since the side effects of drugs are much worse, the NCS would recommend going to a therapist if you are addicted to a drug. They would also recommend to cut connections to you drug deal.
Therapy is where a lot of people go for help of many causes, like abuse, depression and usage of drugs.
Therapy for drugs is called behavioral therapy and tries to change the way you behave so you don’t use drugs.You usually meet with a therapist who tries to figure out your problems and won’t judge you for what you do.
Drugs are a very complicated and political topic, but the general consensus on them is that they are bad and you shouldn’t take the. While some drugs like weed aren’t that bad, but there are very deadly drugs like MDMA.
