Drug abuse is a social problem among the youths of today. The problem is that they see it as something that is meant for those in the elite social class. It is sad because the effect of drug abuse and addiction is taught in our secondary schools but the media, has made it difficult for adolescent to see it as a dangerous thing.

On a daily basis, the media is filled with musical videos of popular stars drinking alcohol, spirits and taking in other drugs. Some even go ahead to say that it gives them inspiration and motivation, to do well in the industry. While we need advocates to lend their voice against the constant abuse of drugs and other substances in Nigeria, the government also has a vital role to play.

The government need to regulate the activities of those that purchase and sale alcoholic drinks and other substances. They must make sure that people under the age of 18 are not allowed to purchase or consume them. They can do this by ensuring that people interested in taking alcohol, present a proof of their age before they are allowed to buy these drugs.

Furthermore, a lot can be done to stop the abuse of medical drugs through proper education by the pharmacist. At the point of purchase, pharmacist should advise their customers to ensure the drugs are used in the right way using the right dosage.

This is what I Wiseman Sam have to say about drug abuse.Drug abuse is so bad to an extent that it can destroy you both mentally, psychologically, and other wise.While in school 300level to be precise, a guy suddenly started acting strange and wild. He offed his cloth and started running everywhere inside the school.When I asked what the cause was, I was told he abused drug. And was intoxicated by that very drug. It affected him to a point where they had to catch him and take him to psychiatric hospital.He ended up destroying his life and forfeiting his academics because of drugs.A guy again suddenly ramad during his wedding day because of drug.A man killed his wife after taking drug. He suddenly went of his mind and could not control his temperament again.Drug is bad.Drug is dangerous.Avoid drug.

Drugs are chemical compounds that affect the mind and body. The exact effects vary among individuals and also depends on the drug, dosage and delivery method. Abusing a drug, or misusing a prescription medication, can produce other short. Term effects such as changes in appetite, sleeplessness, increased heart rate,etc.

  Drug abuse as it implies has been in practice for years untold. The drug that was supposed to cure a particular disease when abused or wrongly administered it will react in excess thereby causing further harm to the body system.

  There is pastor call Tony Rapu whose ministry is to rehabilitate the drug abuse individuals who wrongly administer or uses drugs on themselves with damages to their body system which makes them to misbehave and act under the influence of the drugs uses.

  I have been able to watch some of his broadcast on television set and the internet at large through different social media like, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and the likes. The videos show brief summary of the life and habits of these drug abuse individuals

  There is a particular case if a very young boy in his early age as a child who was living as a drug abuse person. He smokes like and addicted adult, you need to watch with your eyes for you to see and believe.

  This boy smokes Indian helm, cigarettes, drinks alcoholic drinks and he also injects himself with hard drugs also and this has been his life style and way of living but when help came his way, he was taking to a specialist center for proper drug administration and usage.

  His blood was flushed out and a corresponding type of his blood was injected in blood bags into his system. After proper and correction of this the boy's life then changes as he quit smoking, drinking alcohol and drug abuse usage.

From the video clips, I was able to learn that drug abuse kills and maims as lots of people dies and some their situations becomes uncontrollable as it gets to their head and affects them mentally.

 My advice is for as many as are into drug abuse of various types should desist as this is not helpful in any way.

2- Heart conditions ranging from abnormal heart rates to heart attacks and collapsed veins and blood vessel infections from injected drugs

3- Nausea and abdominal pain, which can also lead to changes in appetite and weight loss

4- Increased strain on the liver, which puts the person at risk of significant liver damage or liver failure
Seizures, stroke, mental confusion and brain damage

5- Lung disease

6- Problems with memory, attention and decision-making, which make daily living more difficult

     Drug use is the taking of a drug correctly in the right amount, frequency and manner. Modern drugs serve many medical functions. 

      There are drugs that affect blood pressure, fertility and appetite. We have drugs to give us energy drugs to put us to sleep and drugs to relieve our anxiety. When these drugs are used under medical supervision, they serve a useful purpose. But when used without medical supervision, they can cause serious health problems. 


      Drug abusers generally do not understand the risks that drugs pose to physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Drug abuse (especially among the youths) can disrupt the lives of users. Drugs often lead to problems at home, at school or at work. At school, student may lose interest in school and may even drop out. 

  At home, an abuser may withdraw from family and friends as he or she becomes more dependent on drugs. At work, the influence of drugs may cause poor habits such as lateness or carelessness on the job, and this could lead to loss of job.

:


      The taking of a drug for its  medically intended purpose, following appropriate amount, frequency, strength and manner is referred to as drug use. In contrast, drug abuse is the taking of a drug for a nonmedical purpose and in manner that can damage a person's health or ability to function. 

     Drug abuse can also be described as taking a drug without proper prescription, or self administration of drug in a way that deviates from the approved medical or social pattern. In view of the above descriptions, all drugs can be abused, even those prescribed by physicians. 

    For example, using or administering a drug for the purpose of inducing sleep, alertness or relaxation. All
these amount to drug abuse. 

Methods used by drug addicts to introduce drugs into the body include the following:
 
1 Ingestion (swallowing)
2 Inhalation
3 Injection
4 smoking

Drug abuse is the use of drugs without the doctor's advice or prescription. In other hand, it is the wrongly use if drugs. It becomes wrong when you use it in an illegal way such as sniffing in marijuana or weed. 
Also taking drugs more than the amount required is an abuse is drug and it causes damage to the body system little by little. It is not advisable to take drugs out of ignorance or illiteracy, always consult the pharmacist.
Also one can abuse drugs out of depression or frustration, this is very dangerous. Let's take drugs according to the law.

To begin with this topic,drug can be defined as a substance we take  our body so as to maintain and modify our body and prevent us from having sickness while drug abuse on the other hand is the illegal way of taking drugs without the doctor's prescription(it is also the excessive intake of drugs into our body). There are different effects of drugs and drug abuse which could be classify into two,they are positive effects and the negative effects. The positive effects are as follows:for preservation purpose,for growth,for healing. The explanation goes thus:1. For preservation purpose: drugs are mostly used for preservation in our daily lives eh fruits that are transported from one area to another which cannot survive due to either the change of environment,weather and so on would need a specific drug to preserve them and also we need drugs to preserve dead bodies in the mortuary.etc 2. For growth:most things will need growth so as to improve in their daily activities. Take for example,our plants needs fertilizers to grow properly and while we humans,some might want to either be thin or fat,tall or short,there is a need for drug. 3. For healing: this is especially done whenever a person is sick or suffering from an illness(like cough,headache). This explanation above is the positive effect of drug on our daily lives and now we will be looking into the negative effect of drug abuse and this can be seen on both the individual and the society at large. On the individual 1. Death is an inevitable occurrence on such individual that is so engrossed on drugs.2. It can cause mental disorder as such individual take in cocaine for example which stimulates the brain,it would affect the brain so badly that the person might eventually become insane 3. A husband who drinks all the time and spends his money on hard drinks will eventually or gradually end the family because this can lead such man to beat his wife unecessarily. While in the society at large 1. Individuals that drink while driving,it leads to road accidents 2. There would be waste of government funds since they will use the money which was supposed to take care of its citizen to advertise on the implications of drug abuse. 3. It brings about waywardness to the child therefore leading to hooliganism and violence among youths. 4. People who engage themselves in drug abuse paves way for rape and cultism which brings in as a threat to both the society and the government.

@Ifi: The effect of drug abuse on the users are enormous and these have ways of turning the users into what they themselves can never wish others as it makes them to become addicted and they loose their self control and the ability to reason irrationally.


  The effect and f drug abuse should start to be inculcated into the curriculum of learners even at the early stage of learning so that everyone can be aware I f the danger and harm in the usage of drug and what it tend to cause later in life.

 Basically most people that goes into the use of hard drugs of various forms do all these for many reasons. Some goes into it because of illegal business that it is and just because of the huge amount of money they derive from the business.

  Some goes into drug abuse just to mix up with hard and strong men and ladies that are into it. They want to have the experience of what it takes to be seen among the bad gangs and so that they can build cartel round about themselves.

  Some goes into drug abuse because of influence of peer groups and friends and all these amounts to destroy the promising future that could have been there. So much reasons which the later part or the end story is tragedy.
  
 No matter reasons any one or set of people have or has should be crosschecked because it becomes the undoing of many promised future of young sharps. Drug abuse should be discouraged in all sense and some of these can also be done from various homes.

  Drug abuse is now practised in almost all the countries of the world if not all. Those that engage into it do this secretly by packaging and hiding various forms of drugs into all forms of items and they import and export them round the countries. All these needs to be checkmated.

Drugs are essential substance we use when sick to b free from such sickness or illness. They are very essential In the life of humans and even animals because we need it to survey as it is impossible for us to stay healthy our whole life. 
So therefore, drug is quiet essential in our life. 

But drug abuse is another thing entirely. Drug abuse can be defined as an act of using drugs in an unappropriate and unauthorized manner. 
Abusing drug can be in two forms. They are;

1. Intensional abuse of drug
2. Accidental abuse of drug

1. Drugs are abused intensional when the abuser have the intention of getting high( a phrase drug abusers use to signify a point of unconsciousness). In this view, they take drug in high proportion so that they can attain their expected level of insanity.

2. Accidental abuse of drug: this is when the drug user unknowingly takes drug out of proportion and without the description of the rightful people like pharmacist. 

Effects of drug abuse.

1. Insanity
2. Death
3. Addiction
4. Jail

                                Drug abuse is a very big issue in this part of the world.

                                Many attimes when people fall sick, rather than go to the hospital for medical checkup.
                               They prefer to take self medications because they don't want to spend much on the sickness.
                                Take for instance, when a child has little fever or cold, and the parents are aware.
                                  Instead of them to take the child to the hospital to run one or two tests on the child in order to see what is wrong with the child.
                                    They prefer to buy medical herbs like "Agbo" and then use it on the child.
                                     Without even knowing what is wrong with the child.
                                      Self medications has lead to the loss of many lifes in Nigeria.
                                       We really need to educate others on the effects of drug abuse.

                            Drug abuse has lead to the loss of many lifes in this part of the world.
                             A lot have ordained themselves as self made doctors.
                             This is very very common amongst our parents.
                                When most children fall sick, rather than take them to the hospital, most parents prescribe drugs for theier children rather than take them to the hospital.
                                    How would you prescribe a drug for your child when you have no idea of what is wrong with your child.
                                      I've also done such as well when I had tooth ache.
                                      Rather than go to the hospital I decided to seek advice from friends on what to do with my teeth issue.
                                      After every consultations, my tooth ache did not stop until I visited the hospital.
                                       We really need to educate others on the effects of drug abuse.

@Jackson2:

Weeds reduce the quality of plant and animal products. some weed seeds may mix up with the seeds of crops and this will reduce the market value of such crops. When animals graze on certain weeds, they will impact. that why we don't allowed them to grown almost plants .



Some weed seeds for example Goat
weed may become so entangled in the hair of the animals that they reduce the value of the wool or hide. Weeds act as alternative host to insect pests and diseases, They harbour insect pests
and diseases and in most cases and help to spread the diseases.



Weeds reduce the value of farmland. The presence of some weeds in a farmland indicate poor fertility and this may affect the sales value of the land especially if it is for cropped production. Some weeds are dangerous to health. Some people are allergic to some weeds which are poisonous and have killed a good number of people.
