Myths and Misconceptions about Drugs of Abuse
Myths and Misconceptions
Drugs of abuse improve memory
Drugs of abuse help in the digestion of food.
Drug of abuse make a person bold and brave
Drugs of abuse remove life’s problems and worries.
Drugs of abuse heat up the body.
Facts about Drugs of Abuse
Drugs of abuse shut down proper brain functioning. Certain drugs stimulate the brain but do not really help improve
memory. Most drug users claim they think better and clearly after taking drugs but tests on performance and
cognition have proven that they have performed worst.
Drugs of abuse do not improve memory. .
Certain drugs of abuse stimulate the production of stomach acids. Constant exposure to higher than normal acid level damages
stomach linings which can result to ulcers.Drugs of abuse do not help in the digestion of food.
Certain drugs of abuse remove shyness and inhibition. In psychology, normal inhibition prohibits a person to do unacceptable
things, thoughts and desires. Normal inhibition includes not taking other people’s things, not crossing a busy street and
knowing what is right from wrong. The temporary courage brought about by taking drugs is a dangerous one as it makes a drug
user lose normal judgment which is part of the person’s normal inhibition.Drugs of abuse place a user in a dangerous and
life-threatening situation.
Drugs of abuse are not the solution to problems and worries people encounter. Some people believe that using drugs eliminate
one’s problems and worries in life. The truth is drugs of abuse will only worsen the scenario and further add more problems
some of which are even harder to solve. Drugs of abuse worsen life’s problems and worries.
Drug users believe that certain drugs cause the blood to become warmer which makes the body temperature rise.
In cold countries, drugs are used to heat the body. The truth about this is far from reality. Drugs dilate blood vessels
in the skin which makes the blood to flow nearer to the skin which enhances convection of heat from the body to
the outside environment. Convection transfer heat from inside the body to the outside. Through convection of heat,
body heat is lost faster than normal.
Drugs of abuse do not heat up the body; instead they make the body lose heat faster than normal.
