Document Summary
Most users use drugs to find identity, but the more they use, the more they don"t fit in to the society. Most believe that marijuana will not lead to pills and it wouldn"t happen to them. Have to stay high to forget about how you are hurting yourself and the others around you. Lead to loss of oxygen to the brain. Cutting the pill in half-> release time protective factor-> accelerate the drug effect. Even if they don"t die, it will certainly give the user brain damage. Overdose 2- where are they now? (5 years later) Worst day over is still better than your best day high. Takes 3-4 months for recovering addict"s brain scan to look like a normal person. Have 3 months under drug influence even if they are sober. Best help an addict is from a recovered addict.
