 What is a drug?
 Drugs are substances that some
people take because of their
pleasant effects, but which are
usually illegal.
 A chemical substance, such as a
narcotic or hallucinogen, that
affects the central nervous system,
causing changes in behaviors and

sorts of withdrawal symptoms

person but to whole society.
 How to addict?
 Tobe sure, no one ever starts out using
drugs intending to become a drug
addict. All drug users are just trying it,
once or a few times. Every drug user
starts out as an occasional user, and
that initial use is a voluntary and
controllable decision. But as time
passes and drug use continues, a
person goes from being a voluntary to a
compulsive drug user.
