Drugs (part 2)
Ecstasy, or MDMA, is a highly prosocial drug. In other words, it makes people feel social and pleasant towards one another. It also enhances awareness of music and colour. Ecstasy is often associated with rave music and huge discos, especially in Western Countries. It is interesting, that MDMA was discovered in 1914 and was used in mar riage guidance counselling, to ease the tension between people so that they could talk over their problems more effectively. In the 1970, however, it became popular as a recreational drug, and has now been made illegal.
The stimulant drugs known as amphetamines, or "speed", also sometimes seem to have a prosocial effect, at least in small doses. But in large doses, amphetamines can lead to severe, .mental illness, known as amphetamine psychosis. This involves a distortion of reality, the person often becomes extremely paranoid and disturbed. Amphetamines are also highly addictive drugs.
Another well-known psychoactive drug is known as LSD, or sometimes as "acid'. It is a hallucinogen , Which means that people who take it can also experience hallucinations seeing things, which are not actually present.
Both natural and synthetic drugs can change our moods, our state of awareness and our perception of reality. They can infect the system leading to sores, jaundice, blood poisoning and AIDS disease. Many signs indicate that a person is taking drugs, for example, sudden changes of mood, irritability, aggression, loss of appetite, loss of interest in hobbies or friends, insomnia , furtive behaviour, unusual smells, stains on the body.
What pushes people to take drugs? There are many reasons. Some people turn to drugs to help relax and cope with the stress and problems of their lives. Some experience many pressures at school, work, from parents, friends, they are loved, frightened or frustrated Still others take drugs simply out of curiosity but often become addicted. Some people want to make their experiences. Many people think that drugs are the best way-out. However they do not realise how devastating and dangerous they are.
