TASK PERFORMANCE

1. Identify the impact of drug addiction to social economic, and physical aspect of a
person.

Drugs are chemicals that affect the body and brain. Different drugs can have
different effects. There are some drugs that can cure, but there are also drugs that
are harmful for the user. Some effects of drug abuse can affect the user’s social
status and cause the user to have depression, anxiety, panic disorders, increased
aggression, paranoia, and hallucinations. According to a study of NIDA, drug abuse
leads to poverty and family breakdown. Moreover, use of drugs can affect the
person’s physical health like loss of weight, paler and older skin, and problems with
organs such as the liver, kidneys, and heart. When it comes to drugs that are
injected, needle marks and collapsed veins can be visible in the user’s arms.
 2. Discuss the different laws about prohibited drugs. (1only)

Republic Act No. 9165 or “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002” Section 13
“Possession of Dangerous Drugs During Parties, Social Gatherings or Meetings.” This
is one of the different situations that is illegal and if found guilty will be punished
according to what the is inside the specific law and the section 13 of RA No. 9165
states that any person found possessing any dangerous drug during a party, or at a
social gathering or meeting, or in the proximate company of at least two (2) persons,
shall suffer the maximum penalties provided for in Section 11, regardless of the
quantity and purity of such dangerous drugs.
3. Which part of the human body get hurts when taking drugs.

When using drugs, a lot of the user’s body is affected such as the brain, liver, kidney,
lungs, heart, muscles, and bones. But let us discuss how it affects a user’s liver and
lungs. Since drugs are toxic. If you take a drug like heroin, or even binge drink
alcohol, your liver must work extra hard to break it down. This can lead to decreased
liver function and long-term liver damage. Heroin, steroids, and inhalants, especially
paired with alcohol, pose the most risk. When you think lung damage, you may think
immediately of smoking. It is true that marijuana smoking (in addition to cigarettes)
can cause respiratory diseases and lung infection. But did you know many illicit
drugs, including prescription painkillers, can put you at serious risk for respiratory
depression? Opiate drugs such as heroin and OxyContin can limit the amount of
oxygen entering the brain and can cause a coma or permanent brain damage. In fact,
most opiate overdoses are caused by respiratory depression (suppression of
breathing).
4. What advice can u give to a friend who is in jail, because of illegal drug.

It is not too late to change, a lot of people are dead because of drug abuse but you
are alive there are a lot of ways to overcome drug addiction and the only way to be
better is if you choose it yourself. No one can change or decide for you, you must do
 it yourself. If it doesn’t start from you, then you will be a slave of your addiction
forever.
